Ironical this

This refers to news " Govt mulls return of NRK doctors" (GK Dec 26). It is ironic on part of the Medical Education Minister to highlight a paradox of sorts.

Sheer negligence

This refers to the death of an infant at GB Panth Hospital allegedly due to doctors’ negligence. Such instances surface every now and then.

Discrimination this

This refers to the news “Where it the Task Force for Kashmir?” Ask stakeholders.” The news report clearly reflected New Delhi’s discriminatory attitude toward Kashmir.

Safe destination

This refers to the news “Kashmir safe for tourists: Indonesian envoy.” Kashmir may be a safe destination for tourists. But for its inhabitants, it is completely unsafe.

Drug Policy

This refers to the news about an infant’s death in GB Pant hospital. The state government only orders probes whenever such incidents take place. The probe ultimately exonerates the accused doctors.
