Road widening: the only way to deal with traffic mess

Widening of some busy and important roads in Srinagar is  much needed. The state government did take up the job and the Moulana Azad, Residency and Dalgate roads have been widened but only to be used as parking or to be occupied by the roadside vendors.

Cricket diplomacy

This refers to the news “Manmohan invites Gilani, Zaradari to Mohali.” The cricket diplomacy is at its peak which is also a good sign. I think such invitations can bridge the gap between the two countries. After the Mumbai attacks in 2008, hardly a good gesture has been seen from either of the sides More

Dog menace

This refers to the increasing threat of dogs. It is really sad to see the state government maintaining silence over the dog menace. Recently the Divisional Commissioner Kashmir chaired a couple of meetings to discuss the issue. But the outcome has been zero. People continue to suffer. Children are not More

What justice?

This refers to the news “AI team meets families of 2010 unrest.” I fail to understand why the AI team didn’t visit the Valley during the unrest itself. Why after a year? This is just rubbing salt to the wounds of the families. The families have been demanding justice for the past one year. Nobody is More
