Let CM tweet on a journey from Dalgate to Batamaloo

This refers to the Chief Minister’s travel to Kashmir by road via Srinagar-Jammu highway. On Twitter, the Chief Minister had written that he reached Kashmir in just six hours. I see no surprise in his statement. When a chief minister passes through any area, the entire traffic is halted and only his More

School accident

This refers to the death of a school kid after accidentally consuming acid at school. This episode is shameful and exposes the callousness of the authorities towards the safety of human life in general and children in particular. This is sheer negligence on part of the teacher who didn’t allow student More

Naming people

This refers to article titled "Naming People. Does It Matter?" by Prof Muhammad Aslam (GK May 11). I completely agree with the author’s arguments on the issue of Dogra Certificate.

Recently a minister issued Dogra Certificate order, literally attempting to set the state on fire. He is however still the minister in the state cabinet when he should have been sacked for taking More

BOSE mess

This refers to news report on Board of School Education. The situation doesn’t hold true with BOSE only but many other institutions. The RAMSA scheme has no director in the state.
