Sajad Lone advocates ‘preferential treatment’ to JK’s conflict children

Muddasir ali

Srinagar, June 17: In his maiden speech in the ongo-ing budget session, Minister for Social Welfare, Sajad Lone on Friday empha-sized on the need for providing “pref-erential treatment”

to children of conflict in JK as he vowed to redefine the Department as upholder of the rights of disem-powered.

Replying to the discussion on demand of grants for his Department in the Legislative Assembly, Lone, who is also the Chairman of Peoples Conference, said J&K has seen “lot of violence” during past 25 years.

“We all have our share in politics played over the dead bodies. But I want to ask this House have not we really let down those people includ-ing children whose relatives died in this conflict. We come in the well in this House to protests but what have

we done for them?” asked Lone.Referring to the orphans and

widows of the State, the Minister said rather than “marketing” them the need of the hour was to provide them with social security.

“We need to discuss it…we should all get together to support them and reach out to them whosoever they are. We need to provide preferential treatment to them,” said Lone.

He talked about children involved in the stone pelting on police and other security forces being locked in Juvenile homes.

“Why should a young boy less than 18 years of age get involved in stone pelting activity? There is a lot of scope for rehabilitation councils here,” said Lone. “We have a child protection regime here…the rights of children will be paramount to us. We won’t see the interests of the Govern-ment. If somebody is a teenager he should be treated like that.”

Stating that his endeavor would be to redefine the Department as the upholder of the rights of the disempowered, Lone said the Social

Welfare Department wasn’t about charity but the rights of the weaker sections of the society.

“We are not a charitable institu-tion and this is not about charity but the rights of disempowered,” reiter-ated Lone. “We won’t allow market-ing of the needy and poor but instead we will try to have parallel regimes for rights of women, children and elderly.”

Stressing upon the vital role played by the Anganwadi workers and helpers in the Department, the Minister announced a hike of Rs 500 per month in their honorarium.

The Minister acknowledged that the Department was witnessing “leakage” in supplies in schemes like Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS). “There is a huge leakage. We get supplies for around Rs 120 crores under ICDS but we don’t know whether the children are benefitted,” said the Minister while talking about the shortage of man-power in the Department.

However he said the Depart-ment was studying some of the best

ICDS models of different States and assured the House the loopholes in the execution of the scheme would be plugged.

Stating that the Government has not enough resources to run suc-cessfully different social security programs in J&K the Minister hoped the big corporate house and business establishments would come forward to help the weaker sections of the society.

“There is shortage of funds to run these programs, the pendency of cases in increasing. We will have to create space for contribution,” he stressed. “We will be roping in these corporate houses and business estab-lishment for contribution of a per-centage of the CSR towards empow-erment of the weaker sections.”

Lone talked about putting in place a system wherein the issues regarding pension, assistance for old age people and financial support under different programs were being addressed at local levels.

“We don’t want that people should be made to move from door to door to get their rights,” said Lone.

Warden goes on beating spree; 16 girl students injured

Reservation in promotions

Legislators demand assurance from Govt

syed rizwan Geelani

Srinagar, June 17: A warden of a Gujjar Bakerwal Girl’s hostel on Thursday morning allegedly beat up the 16 girl students of Govern-ment Girls Higher Secondary School (GGHSS) Rajbagh leaving all of them injured.

Interestingly, all the injured stu-dents, according to the Principal of the school had to write exams in their school.

The students according to reports were beaten up for refusing to clean the residential room of the warden.

“She was rude with these students from day one. She would never treat them well,” said Muhammad Amin

Bhat, Principal GGHSS Rajbagh.He said all these students who

were beaten up by the warden belong to Gujjar and Bakarwal community and are enrolled in GGHSS Rajbagh.

“It is totally unbecoming. Just because the students refused to clean her room, she beat them ruthlessly,” Bhat said.

“Actually the warden had asked these students to clean her room during their class tests going on these days. The students refused and told her they will do it some other day. But the warden crossed all the limits and beat up these female students for this petty issue,” Bhat said.

Bhat said around 16 girl students

were injured in the incident of which eight were later admitted in Bone and Joint and SMHS Hospital Srinagar for treatment. “Four were admitted in B&J hospital where two students had received fractures in arms and were plastered. All the four were discharged later,” he said.

Following the incident Director School Education Kashmir (DSEK) Dr. Shah Faesal placed the warden under suspension for “alleged” physi-cal assault on girl students at Gujjar Bakerwal Hostel and was attached with Chief education Office (CEO) Gander-bal.

Meanwhile JK police have also reg-istered an FIR number 36 in Police sta-tion Rajbagh.

Locals oppose conversion of Bajpathri into Army firing range

GK news neTwOrK

Srinagar, June 17: The opposition, supported by members of the ruling BJP and PDP, Friday created ruckus in the Legislative Assembly for the second con-secutive day over the issue of reservation in promotions.

As soon as proceedings in the House started this morning, Congress lawmak-ers asked the Government to give an assurance that it will make necessary amend-ments to restore reservation in promotions.

As opposition members shouted anti-Government and pro-reservation slogans, Speaker Kavinder Gupta repeatedly directed them to take their seats. However, the Congress lawmakers ignored the Speaker’s directives.

Law Minister Abdul Haq Khan intervened in the matter and stated that the House can deliberate on the matter only after the Supreme Court has deliv-ered its verdict on it.

"The honourable members are aware that the matter is

pending adjudication before the Supreme Court. Let the Supreme Court give its ver-dict and then we can take it forward," he added.

Not satisfied with the gov-ernment statement, three Congress MLAs -- Jora, Asghar Ali Karbalaie and Chaudhary Mohammad Akran staged a walkout from the house.

The issue had figured in the house yesterday and on Tuesday as well.

On October 9 last year , a Division Bench compris-ing Justice Hasnain Mas-sodi and Justice Janak Raj Kotwal held that there shall be no benefit of reservation in promotions in Jammu and Kashmir while striking down Section 6 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Act 2004, and Rules 9, 10 and 34 of Jammu and Kashmir Reser-vation Rules 2005, describing them as “ultra-vires.”

Post judgment, several Ministers and MLAs from PDP and BJP are asking the Government to restore the reservation by making nec-essary amendments in the State constitution.

Governor congratulates award winners

Srinagar, June 17: Opposing the move to estab-lish Army firing range at Bajpathri, the locals from Charar-e-Sharif on Friday staged a protest at Press Enclave here and vowed they would never allow the firing range to come up there.

Protesters said the proposal gets the gov-ernment nod it would be threat to the lives of thousands of people and their property.

Residents of Kandimarg, Andarwali, Gadawali and Sangarwani villages, which are only 600 to 700 meters away from the proposed area, were also part of the protest.

They said there are reports that govern-ment is willing to lease out this tourist spot to the Army. “It is a scenic, bowl-shaped meadow surrounded by forests in central Kashmir and is located just 4km from Yusmarg, a tourist spot. Why is the government hell bent upon

ruining our resources?” the protesters said adding that government wants to destroy the environment, forest, water sources and economy of poor villagers.

"Like Tosamaidan (old army firing range), this area will also become a death trap for the people," they said.

The protesters expressed concern about the possible impact of a firing range on six drink-ing water schemes on the nearby streams Doo-dhganga and Romshi that supply Pulwama, Shopian, Budgam and parts of Srinagar.

"The move to make this into a firing range would wash hazardous chemicals into these streams, which would have long-term conse-quences on the health of hundreds of thousands of people who rely on drinking water from these schemes," the protesters said. (CNS)

Stay away from polls: Gulzar Anantnag (Islamabad), June 17: Carrying forward the anti-elec-tion campaign of Hurriyat (G), JK Insaf party Chairman G A Gulzar addressed a congregation at Masjid Noor here in south Kash-mir, a spokesman of the party said.

In his address, Gulzar said that a struggle between right and wrong has remained a per-manent chapter of human history. “People of Jammu and Kashmir are engaged in a legitimate movement of Right To Self deter-mination, which as a democratic right has Universal Acceptance. It is unfortunate Delhi is using all its military might to curb the peaceful political movement of Kashmir. I appeal to boycott the forthcoming by-polls in Anantnag and safeguard the sacrifices of martyrs,” Gulzar added.

Srinagar, June 17: Gover-nor N N Vohra has congrat-ulated Brham Dutt Mago-tra and Aadil Mohi-ud-din on receiving the Sahitya Akademi’s Yuva Puras-kar (2016) in recognition of their contributions to Dogri and Kashmiri litera-ture, respectively. Mago-tra has been awarded for Kule Bhav (Poetry; Dogri) where as Mohi-ud-Din for Zol Dith Sadras (Criticism; Kashmiri).

The Governor has also congratulated Om Gos-wami and Roohi Jan for receiving Sahitya Akade-mi’s Bal Sahitya Purasakar (2016) for Jangal Ch Mangal (Novelette) in Dogri and Shoer Bashe (Stories) in Kashmiri, respectively.

In letters to the authors the Governor has wished them continuing successes in all their future literary endeavours. (GKNN)

23 murder, 7 rape, 15 rioting cases against VDCsJK Govt says no proposal to disband militia

UMER MAQBOOL

Srinagar, June 17: Indicat-ing large-scale involve-ment of Village Defence Committee (VDC) members in crimes like murder, rapes and riot-ing, the J&K Govern-ment Friday revealed that 221 cases have been registered against them. The PDP-BJP Govern-ment however ruled out disbanding the militia.

In a written reply, Chief Minister Meh-booba Mufti- who is also Minister in-charge Home - Friday informed the Legislative Assem-bly that 221 FIRs have been lodged against VDC men in different police stations for indulging in serious offences.

Set up in 1995 when J&K was under Presi-dent’s Rule, the VDCs have come under sharp criticism for committing massive human rights violations in Chenab and Pir Panchal regions of Jammu province.

Giving break up of FIRs registered against the VDC personnel, the Home Ministry dis-closed that 23 murder, seven rape, 15 rioting and three NDPS cases were registered against them. The remaining 169 cases were registered against them under other sections of law.

Of the registered cases, 205 have been challaned till date.

Shockingly, the status of challaned cases reveals that the convic-tion rate in them is abys-mally low with accused getting convicted in only five cases so far.

According to the reply, 121 cases were still under trial while accused got acquitted in 42 cases. In the remain-ing 37 cases, compro-mise was reached between the parties involved, it states.

The Home Ministry also revealed that there is no proposal to disband VDCs in J&K. “Keeping in view the security situation in the State

and the role played by VDCs there is no proposal to dis-band them,” the reply reads.

The CM, however, said VDC members found involved in any act of misuse of their allotted weapons are immediately disengaged and appropriate action war-

ranted under law is initiated against them.

“Directions have been issued to the concerned dis-trict SPs to initiate action against such VDC members and to ensure that the weap-ons allotted to them are with-drawn,” she said.

Money laundering case: Court rejects bail of former BOPEE chairman

GK CORRESPONDENT

Srinagar, June 17: A court has rejected bail plea of former chairman of the Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BOPEE), Mushtaq Ahmad Peer, in a case filed under Prevention of Money Laun-dering Act against him by Enforcement Directorate.

Court of Principal District and Sessions Judge Srinagar, Rashid Ali Dar, rejected Peer’s bail application after hearing Special Public Persecutor for Enforcement Directorate, Mumtaz Ahmad Kapra, and Peer’s counsel, M M Iqbal.

Observing that the exis-tence of material on record prima-facie suggest the commission of offence u/s 4 PMLA , the PDSJ said: “I am of the opinion that the infer-ence of reasonable grounds of non-involvement of the cases for the commission of offence under section 4 of the PMLA Act cannot be drawn”.

Peer was released last month after two and a half years in jail after J&K High Court granted him bail in a CET 2012 paper selling scam.

In July last year, the ED filed the charge sheet in the court of Principal District and Session Judge Srinagar under Prevention of Money Laundering Act.

ED had identified Peer’s assets and cash in bank accounts in Delhi and Kashmir and issued attachment orders identifying them as “proceeds of crime” derived from alleged corruption money of the scam.

Minto Circle School to face de-recognition for charging extra feesSFFC serves show-cause notice

Syed Rizwan Geelani

Srinagar, June 17: The School Fee Fixation Com-mittee (SFFC) has served a show cause notice to Minto Circle, English Medium High School Allouchi Bagh, here for “illegally charging” extra fee from students for the past three years. The show-cause notice was issued to the school by SFFC in wake of a com-plaint registered by par-ents against the school who have complained that the institution was charging an amount of Rs 300 per students for three years while it has no affili-ation with CBSE. The school manage-ment has admitted before SFFC that it was charging the amount without being affiliated to CBSE. “This act of school management clearly amounts to cheating and causing wrongful gain to itself and wrongful loss to the students,” reads the notice issued by SFFC. SFFC in its notice has stated that charging CBSE fee without being affili-

ated with CBSE amounts to a panel offence besides, being highly objection-able and against rules. In the show-cause notice, SFFC has asked the school management to appear before the commit-tee by June 20 and threat-ened of de-recognition of the school by Directorate of School Education Kash-mir (DSEK). “Why a criminal case may not be registered against the school and why the Director School Education may not be informed about it and asked to initiate a process of de-recognition of the School for such cheating and violation of rules,” reads the show-cause issued to school. SFFC has asked the school management to submit its report by June 20 or appropriate action in terms of law and rules will follow against the school. “It will be presumed that the management has noth-ing to say in the matter.” SFFC has also cen-sured private schools for indulging in “undue harassment” of students studying in these insti-tutions on the pretext of delay in payment of monthly fee and other dues.

The committee has asked the school to refrain from giving physical pun-ishment to the students saying that such practice by these institutions was highly objectionable and amounts to grave viola-tion of rights of students “Some schools award physical punishment while as others keep the students, whose parents make a default in the payment of monthly fee, standing in the class room or open ground,” reads the notice. The committee has asked the schools to stop the practice forthwith or the process of de-rec-ognition will be started against the schools. “In case of any violation or complaint, stern action will be initiated against such schools, which may include de-recognition of the institutions respon-sible for such acts.” T h e c o m m i t t e e headed by Justice (Retd) Hakim Imtiyaz Hussain has asked the parents to approach them in case of having any complaint regarding the harassment of their wards by school authorities under the garb of delay in payment of tuition fee and other related issues.

Omar Abdullah visits residence of slain boatmanTerms him as an icon of Kashmir’s hospitality and courage

GK newS neTwORK

Srinagar, June 17: National Conference Working Presi-dent Omar Abdullah on Friday visited the residence of slain boatman Ghulam Muham-mad Guroo at Raj Bagh and expressed solidarity with the bereaved family Praying for peace to the departed soul, Omar Abdullah termed Guroo as an icon of Kashmir’s spirit of selfless hospitality and courage. “Guroo Sahib’s sacrifice in saving three tourists without caring for his own life and then also trying to save their belong-ings speaks volumes about his courage and honesty. It is indi-viduals like Ghulam Muham-mad Guroo who have defined Kashmir’s trait of hospitality

over centuries. His tale of cour-age and honour will go down in history as a testament to Kash-mir’s warmth and affection for our guests”, Omar Abdullah said. The former Chief Minis-ter said late Guroo had set an example to be followed across the country and the entire world at a time when people were driven by purely self-centered goals and ambi-tions. “He sacrificed his life for his guests. Nothing could pos-sibly be more honorable and noble”, Mr Omar Abdullah stated. Omar Abdullah was accompanied by NC Provincial President Nasir Aslam Wani who also expressed solidarity with the bereaved family and prayed for peace to the depart-ed soul. “Late Ghulam Muhammad Guroo will be remembered for ages to come as an example of bravery and hospitality and we salute his courage and sacri-fice”, Wani said.

Srinagar, June 17: Students at Delhi Public School (DPS) Ath-wajan here staged protest after school authorities “forced” a female teacher to resign for wearing Abaya in school. The DPS students boycotted their classes and staged protests terming the move by the school authorities as “interference in the religious affairs.” Protesting students also launched campaign on social networking demanding apol-ogy to the teacher by the school authorities. “Our teacher was forced to resign after she chose Islamic dress code over her job. We cannot remain silent. School authorities must come clear what is their policy? Do they hate people following teachings

of Islam,” said a group of stu-dents. “We give a deadline to school authorities till Monday. The administration should apol-ogize for the act and call back the teacher,” they added. “We have been enrolled by our parents in this school for quality education for which they are paying fee. We are not in this school to forget our Islamic values. We will oppose any move that is against teach-ings of Islam and aimed to pro-mote western dress code and lifestyle,” the aggrieved stu-dents said. Some faculty members tried to pacify the protesting students, however, they did not relent. The teacher, who resigned from the school, said that she had worked in many other schools

in past. “But no one objected to my Islamic dress code. I was appointed in DPS this year but the school management objected to my dress code and asked me to choose between Abaya and job. As a Muslim, I chose my dress code as nothing is dearer to me than my religion,” she added. Meanwhile, Chairperson of Duktaran-e-Millat Syeda Asiya Andrabi condemned the action of Delhi Public School authorities against the teach-er. “The principal of the school (Kusum Wariku) forced this teacher to leave her job by asking her to choose between a modest dress (she was wear-ing an Abaya) or her job. This is yet another institutionalized Hindutvisation of our schools wherein we are being forced to adhere to Hindu culture and its

norms,” Aasiya said. “This principal must under-stand that Kashmir is a Muslim majority state and its people will dress as per the Islamic dress code. The protesting students have done a commendable job and I also urge the teachers of the school to join them until this pro-Hindutva principal apolo-gizes for this anti-Muslim act,” she added. Jama’at-e-Islami (JeI) Jammu and Kashmir denounced, what it termed as the anti- Islamic role played by the administration of the DPS Srinagar and extending support to the peaceful protest held by the students. “The parents of the chil-dren reading in this school pay huge amounts of fee for educating their wards but not for divesting them of their

religious rituals. The teach-ing staff has to provide better education against the salaries but at the cost of their faith. The parents should support their children in their protest against the anti- Islamic behav-iour of the school administra-tion which has been implanted here with the purpose of the cultural aggression against the Muslims which the Muslim parents are duty bound to keep an eye on,” the Jama’at spokes-man Advocate Zahid Ali, in a statement today. When contacted DPS Chairman, Vijay Dhar refused to comment over the matter, saying, “I am in Delhi. You talk to Principal on her landline number.” However, despite several attempts, no one responded on the landline number

Police foil protest march of Anganwadi workers Srinagar, June 17: Police Friday foiled the protest march of Jammu and Kash-mir Anganwadi Workers and Helpers Union (AWHU) and detained scores of them.

The protestors assem-bled at Press Enclave here and raised anti-government and pro-justice slogans.

They were demanding gratuity, formulation of pension scheme, immedi-ate enhancement of their remuneration, payment of minimum wages and with-drawal of attempts to priva-tize ICDS.

Carrying banners, plac-ards, they also demanded regularization of their ser-vices as Class III and Class IV employees with immedi-ate increase in their hono-rarium to Rs. 5000 and Rs 4000 per month respectively.

They said grassroots workers of the ICDS scheme should be entitled to decent living.

They added that a stand-ing mechanism must be put in place in Ministry of Women and Child Develop-ment for revision in the rates of honorarium of Anganwadi workers and helpers.

“Anganwadi workers and helpers should be cov-ered by the EPF and ESI Act for regularization of their services as government employee. Besides Angan-wadi Centres must be made as nodal centers to impart pre-school education,” they said.

Police swung into action and detained scores of them as they tried to march towards busy Residency Road.

Spokesperson and former Par-liamentarian, Dr Mehboob Beg has termed the upcoming Assem-bly election in Anantnag as a

golden opportunity for the people of Anantnag and termed it as a means to address the constant 'neglect' that south Kashmir in general and Anant-nag assembly segment in particular has faced in the past. Dr.Beg while addressing a series of well attended public gath-erings in Utersoo Najigund, Wani-hama, Chichadpora, Kamad, Dialgam,Krungsoo,Anzwal,Monghal,Lal Chowk and other areas of Anant-nag town appealed to the 'political conscience' of the people and asked them to ensure Mehbooba Mufti's victory with a huge margin. Dr Beg said that this was the opportunity for the people of Anant-nag to have the 'sense of neglect' addressed and see Anantnag develop on all fronts. “The intent of the present regime to develop and work for South Kashmir is already visible. Announcement of a Medi-cal College and the Medical Institute underlines the focus and intent of the government,” said Dr Beg.

pDp betrayed people for power: g A MirSrinagar, June 17 : Congress today

cautioned people about the deceitful poll planks of PDP to garner support in order to gain votes in Anantnag by- elections. The party also warned that

vote to PDP is vote to RSS Ideology and appealed the people to defeat PDP.

Addressing a joint meeting of party workers and local representa-tives of Anantnag constituency JKPCC Chief G A Mir cautioned the people about the deceitful poll planks of PDP in order to secure votes for Mehbooba Mufti in Anantnag by- polls. He said that PDP is not in a position to face the electorate due to its utter failure on all fronts, the Party has not only betrayed the people, but sacrificed its principles,

despite ideological differences PDP BJP formed the Govt by enacting different sto-ries for the sake of coming into power. Reminding the people about the tall claims and promises made by PDP during 2014 election, the JK PCC Chief said that not even a single promise has been fulfilled, rather the wrong poli-cies and mis-governance on the part of PDP have added to the miseries of the people.

Anantnag, June 17: Senior PDP leader and Min-ister for Public Works and Par-liamentary Affairs Abdul Rehman Veeri today said that the people of Anantnag would

give befitting reply to parties who had left the district in a morass of underdevelopment, corruption and mis-governance. Veeri said that Anantnag has been always ignored by the previous regimes causing people to suffer, but the present PDP led government has undertaken number of initiative and started various programmes to reshape the destiny of entire district. “The opposition is trying to divide

the people in the name of various non-existent issues but people of Anantnag are mature enough and they will never allow such forces to succeed,” said Veeri. Addressing a series of public meetings at Dayalgam, Pethbug, Shithan, Kamar, Che, Anchidora, Malaknag, Nayi basti, Chicharpora and Shirpora, Mr Veeri said that it was a dream of late Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayed to make Anantnag a model constituency in every sphere of life and he took number of initiatives in this regard. “The Present government under Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti is taking forward the mission of prog-ress and development started by Late Mufti Mohammed Sayed,” said Veeri.

Srinagar, June 17: JKLF (H) Chair-man and senior Hurriyat (M) leader Javaid Ahmad Mir today alleged that Delhi is commit-ting worst type of atrocities in Kash-mir.

Expressing sympathy with the parents of the Sheikh Tanvir Sultan of Bemina, Mir demanded an impartial probe into his mysterious killing. “Forces enjoy unbridled powers due to AFSPA and other laws and Delhi has given them a

license to kill Kashmiris. Interna-tional community should take a serious note of gross human rights violations taking place in Kashmir and should come for the rescue of Kashmiris.” Terming the statements of the PDP-BJP coalition government over Sainik Colony, satellite townships for Kashmiri Pandits and the new indus-trial policy as vague, ambiguous and confusing, Javaid Mir said these anti-Kashmiri policies were wrought with alarming consequences and the resistance leadership would not stay silent over these issues.

Delhi police detains 2 Kashmiri girlsSrinagar, June 17: Jammu and Kashmir Police has taken up the matter of detention of two Kash-miri girls at Dehli airport with the Dehli Police and sought their early release. "We are in touch with Dehli Police and hope the girls would be set free soon," a senior police officer told Greater Kashmir. Two Kashmiri girls, returning from Bangladesh where they are pursuing MBBS, were detained Friday afternoon at Indira Gandhi International airport in New Delhi. “Four girls were returning from Bangladesh. They travelled safely from Dhaka to Kolkata and then to

Delhi in different flights. Their lug-gage was checked and cleared at all the airports,” their parents said. “But when they reached Delhi Airport today morning to board their flight at 12.45 pm, police at the Indira Gandhi airport detained all four. Thereafter, they released two and detained two among them,” the parents said. The parents alleged that the girls were detained as one of their bags had a label ‘Bomb’ written on it. “The airport authorities did not inform us about them as yet. We fear for their safety,” the par-ents said. GKNN

Upper House witnesses ruckus over Jammu

temple incidentLA condemns

Speaker, Jammu and Kashmir Leg-islative Assembly, Kavinder Gupta,

today condemned the Nanak Nagar Shiv Temple incident and maintained that such sacrilegious act will not be tolerated at any cost.

Gupta directed the Government and Police to conduct proper probe and ascertain the facts behind the incident. He said that those persons found involved in the incident should be strictly punished.

The Speaker was responding to the issue raised by Satpaul Sharma and other legislators in the House.

MUKEET AKMALI

Srinagar, June 17: Lawmakers in the Legislative Council Friday protested against the alleged sacrilegious act in Nanak Nagar temple.

Jammu-based legislators of all par-ties created uproar as soon as the house proceedings began.

“There is an attempt to create divi-sion among regions and repeat 2008 like situation in Jammu,” said Congress legislator Naresh Gupta.

The MLCs were seen standing up and raising their voice over the issue demand-ing an impartial probe by high level com-mittee. They demanded that the real cul-prit be punished but the innocents should not be harmed in any way.

BJP legislator Vibod Gupta staged walkout over the issue and accused government of “playing with the senti-ments of people.”

“This is the second incident in less than 48 hours in Jammu,” he said adding that there is deep rooted conspiracy to hurt the sentiments of

Jammu people.PDP legislator Surinder Chowdhary

said that it is a serious matter which needs thorough investigation.

Minister for Rural Development, Abdul Haq Khan, while replying on behalf of the government said the police have arrested the culprit and no one will be spared who would be found guilty of vitiating atmosphere.

He said that act requires a certain degree of investigation. “There seems to a conspiracy and government would probe the matter at high level, because till now everything was going alright in the state, tourists were coming in good numbers, but suddenly we have such incidents,” he said.

“We assure the honorable members of the house that culprits won’t be spared in this case. We are investigat-ing every angle in the incident includ-ing the conspiracy of any person or party,” Khan said.

Proceedings begin in Srinagar with Union Health Ministry Team visit

ZEHRU NISSA

Srinagar, June 17: Srinagar and Anantnag have been selected by cen-tral government to be developed as Model Health districts under Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) and National Health Systems Resource Centre (NHSRC), the process for which has kick started in Srinagar.

A communication from NHSRC addressed to National Health Mis-sion JK (JK NHM) has stated the two districts in Kashmir division

to be developed as model districts for healthcare are Srinagar and Anantnag. ‘National Health Sys-tems Resource Centre (NHSRC) with approval of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), has been assigned to develop model districts within the states in which one inter-vention district and one collaborat-ing district were nominated to create them as model.’

It further says that ‘in Jammu divi-sion, Jammu and Kathua have been selected for developing a role model.’

Three member team from NHSRC, headed by Dr. Himanshu Bhushan, Advisor at the organization, held a day-long workshop with the health-care providers, administrators and

various stakeholders of district health services of Srinagar and Anantnag. The team took feedback regarding the existing infrastructure and manpower of the medical facili-ties in the two districts.

As per official documents, Sri-nagar has been chosen as imple-menting district and Anantnag has been chosen as the collaborating dis-trict. The selection of the districts has been done by MoHFW, based on the parameters of the potential to become models vis-à-vis healthcare services. NHSRC will be actively involved in training of medico, hos-pital and district administrators as well as policy to improve the delivery of the services in the hospitals.

The team, that will conclude its visit on June 20th, will visit vari-ous hospitals in Srinagar and pres-ent their analysis to state as well as MoHFW. Based on the analysis report, the state government and NHM will formulate policies in the healthcare of the districts.

“We are very glad that we have the opportunity to develop our hospi-tals as per Indian Public Health Stan-dards Guidelines. This will go a long way in improving healthcare deliv-ery in the state,” Dr. Mohan Singh, JK Mission Director NHM, said. “He added that NHSCR team will focus on areas of Human Resource, infra-structure and patient load handling in Srinagar hospitals.

Religious, political organizations appeal for peace BIVEK MATHUR

Jammu, June 17: After alleged sacrilegious acts in two Shiv temples of Jammu city within 48 hours, the District Administration today stated that situation was under the control of authorities.

“We are closely monitoring the situation with hawk-eye watch on rumour mongers, who, we think, can further escalate tensions in this region,” Deputy Commissioner Jammu, Simrandeep Singh, told reporters at Press Club of Jammu.

Singh said that certain elements, with their sinister designs, are hell bent to create a wedge within the society. “So the administration has made elaborate arrangements to put a check on these trouble mongers”, he said.

Earlier DC Jammu, flanked by DIG Jammu-Kathua Range, Askhoor Wani, SSP Jammu, Dr. Sunil Gupta and other police officers interacted with media persons and sought suggestions on how to tackle such crisis and defuse tense circumstances.

Meanwhile the broadband services which were snapped after the desecration of temple at Nanak Nagar Jammu have been restored from this morning while the mobile internet services continued to remain suspended for the third consecutive day.

Today, various social, political and religious organizations took lead in educating people across the region against the communal designs of certain elements in the region.

International Sikh Awareness Front (INSAF), through its chairman, Sardar Harpal Singh Pali condemned the sacrilegious act at Nanak Nagar temple. He said that the people of both the communities are hurt by the desecration of temple by one person and demanded strict action against the accused.

“INSAF appeals people from both the religious communities to keep up the harmony in order to maintain peace and brotherhood”, Pali said, adding, “At this point of time, we want that people should not fall prey to certain rumour mongers, who will try their level best to exploit sentiments of people for their dirty politics”.

Women occupy just 6 % gazetted, 10 % non-gazetted posts

ZEHRU NISSA

Srinagar, June 17: Govern-ment on Friday disclosed the figures that reveal the minus-cule share that women have in jobs across government departments mocking at the claims of gender balanced recruitment and women’s financial security.

Despite promises and schemes in the direction of increasing participation of women in every sphere of life, government departments seem to be gender biased in hiring. Women have just a 6.3 percent share on average in workforce at the gazetted level in all gov-ernment departments.

This translates into one female officer in a govern-ment department against 15 male officers.

At the non-gazetted level also, the percentage is dis-mally low. Women occupy 10.1 percent of non-gazetted jobs on average in all govern-ment departments.

In reply to a question by Dr. Shahnaz Ganai, gov-ernment furnished depart-ment wise figures of women employees.

Social Welfare and Higher Education Department are the largest employers of women in state. Social Welfare has 1375 women employees at district level posts. However, 1376 of these are non-gazetted posts and only one woman is at a gazette post. At division level, four women and 60 women at state level are at gazette posts.

This constitutes 43.8 percent women as employees.

In Higher Education Department, 615 women are at gazette posts and the department has 41.84 percent women as workforce.

However on the other hand, Technical Education Depart-ment does not come across as a conducive department for hiring women as only four women work on gazette posts in Technical Education Depart-ment and only 30 women in Polytechnic Department.

In a contrast, Youth Services and Sports, an allied department to Technical Education has 70 female gazetted employees.

Among Universities, Uni-versity of Jammu has the high-est share of women employees, a percentage that stands at 21.39. This University has 117 female gazette employees. On the other hand, Baba Gulam Shah Badshah University Rajouri has the lowest per-centage of women employees – 12 percent. This university has just 13 gazetted and 28 non-gazetted female employees.

Women occupy just 0.03 percent of positions in Animal and Sheep Husbandry Depart-ments at the state level. At Division and District levels also, the percentage does not show much of an improve-ment with women occupying 2.39 and 6.51 percent posts respectively at non-gazetted levels. At gazetted levels, divi-sion and district cadre posts in these departments have no female employee.

CCE age limit now 35 yearsSrinagar, June 17: The J&K Govern-ment Friday ordered that upper age limit for the Combined Competitive Examination-2016 will be 35 years.

According to a notification issued by the GAD, the upper age limit for reserved & in-category candidates and physically chal-lenged would be respectively 37 and 38 years. GKNN

Question Hour in LC Regularisation of causal labourers

Government forms committee to frame policy: BukhariSrinagar, June 17: Minister for Revenue, Relief & Rehabilitation, Syed Basharat Bukhari today informed the House that the Government has constituted a committee to work out an appropriate policy outlining all possible options for regularization of causal, seasonal and need based workers.

Replying on behalf of Finance Minister to a clubbed question of Qaiser Jamsheed Lone, Mohammad Khursheed Alam, Vibodh Gupta and Master Noor Hussain, the Minister said there are 61000 casual, seasonal, need based and other categories of workers engaged by various departments across the State.

The Minister said the Government has put ban on engagement of casual labour-ers and the delegation of powers with the Departments to engage causal laborers too stands withdrawn.

Regarding National Youth Corps (NYC) volunteers, the Minister said NYC’s were engaged by the District Selection Committee headed by DDCs and were deployed to differ-ent offices/departments at a monthly hono-rarium of Rs. 2500 for a period of two years.

He said after expiry of the term, 7700 NYC’s were deployed to different departments and offices, of which 6956 were practically work-ing in different Departments.

Bukhari informed that adhoc/contrac-tual/consolidated appointees engaged up to April 28, 2010 are regularized under pro-visions of the J&K Civil Services (Special Provisions) Act, 2010.

‘IIT qualifier from Anantnag made it by quality study’

KHALID GUL

Anantnag (Islamabad), June 17: Saim Dawood Wani, hailing from Gulshanbad locality of this South Kashmir town, relied on few hours of quality studies to crack coveted Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) - Joint Entrance Examination (JEE).

He secured 174 rank and is set to join IIT Kanpur in computer science stream.

“Qualifying IIT has always been my goal and it is a dream come true,” said 18- year- old Saim adding he would have though liked to have a slightly better rank.

“last time I got Rocket Science stream in IIT Mumbai but decided against joining as I always was keen on studying computer engineering,” said he.

Saim attributes his success to his com-mitment and guidance from teachers.

“Success depends on your commit-

ment. Unlike Board examinations, the commitment to qualify competitive examinations has to be total,” he said.

“What matters is how you plan your studies,” he said adding “ It does not matter how much time you spend on books. Qualitative study is more impor-tant. I hardly used to study four to five

hours in 10+2 and later during prepara-tions for IIT, it wouldn’t be more than six hours.”

Saim is not so excited about his suc-cess. “It is just a beginning and I have a long way to go,” he said.

The IIT qualifier wishes to study in noted institutions across the globe. “ I also want to serve multinational com-panies, “he said.

He said that he opted for computers, as he was very much passionate about it since his childhood. “ I wanted to be a computer scientist,” he said.

Besides parents Saim is thankful to his teachers in Jamia Milia Islamia from where he passed his 10+2 and also to those who taught him during coaching.

Saim comes from an educated back-ground with his father Bashir Ahmad Wani (Talib) being a famous education-ist of the area.

Saim is interested in trekking and writing.

JKP adopts new technologies, techniques: Rajendra KumarSrinagar, June 17: Director General of Police (DGP), K Rajendra Kumar has said that militancy in the State has made Jammu and Kashmir Police to adopt new technolo-gies and techniques to bring the force at par with the best police force in the country. He said that JKP under the modernisation programme is improving capabilities and infrastructure to counter threats on law and order and counter insurgency fronts.

Rajendra was reviewing pace of progress on police modernization at a meeting held at Police Headquarters here today. The meeting was convened to discuss the proposal for equipment relating to High End Security and Law & Order under Prime Minister’s special package for Jammu and Kashmir.

He said that State Police focused on up-gradation of all components including anti riot vehicles and security gadgets. Major emphasis was on procuring latest technolo-gies and communication system for security

purposes. Dedicated efforts were made in the areas of office automation and enhancing infrastructure abilities.

Rajendra stressed to lay more focus on enhancing intelligence gathering mecha-nism, saying that CCTV cameras have enabled police both prevent and detect crimes in the major cities and towns. He disclosed that all other towns and roads of the State will come under effective surveil-lance through these cameras. Bomb detec-tion and disposal squads are to be up-graded and X-Ray scanners provided at vital instal-lation, besides equipping field units for max-imum efficiency, said Mr. Rajendra.

DGP said that video conferencing facili-ties between Jammu and Srinagar Head-quarters, with all District offices will be extended further. It will complement the efforts of the Crime and Criminal Tracking Networking System (CCTNS) that has been launched by Union Home Ministry.

Ahead of polythene law, Haq interacts with stakeholdersSrinagar, June 17: Minister for Law and Justice Abdul Haq today chaired a meeting of officers of various departments to discuss about the upcoming legislation to make use of polythene a cog-nizable offence.

The meeting was attended by Chairman, State Pollution Con-trol Board, Member Secretary, SPCB, Mission Director, NRLM besides representatives of milk production companies.

The Minister said the government will introduce a Bill in cur-rent Budget session making the use of polythene a cognizable offence. He said the government is going to act tough against the use of polythene and will deal with the violators with iron fist. He also discussed with the officers and stakeholders about the alternatives to be used in place of polythene.

Abdul Haq said that Government will come up with more strict laws against use of polythene in the state. He said the govern-ment cannot allow the state to get spoiled by use of polythene, adding that it has been the major cause of floods and is also polluting the beautiful valley.

The Minister directed the officials to look into pros and cons before finalizing the piece of legislation and asked them to inter-act with stakeholders before its finalization.

While interacting with the representatives of the milk production companies, the Minister said every stakeholder dealing with packag-ing of polythene has the responsibility to re-collect the used poly bags used for packaging of their products and re-cycle it.

Inside out by: suhail naqshbandi

All refugees are humansThe government cannot have different yardsticks for different refugees

While the government of India has been resisting implementation of the Re-Settlement Act, it becomes too humane when it comes to Kashmiri Pandits and the West Pakistan Refugees (WPRs).

To make things clear, the WPRs are not residents of erstwhile state of undivided Jammu and Kashmir and can, therefore, be settled anywhere in India outside the Jammu Kashmir. Kashmiri Pandits are part and parcel of Kashmir and nobody has contested their homecoming. In fact people have shown willingness to share their house and hearth with them on their return. It is obligatory on the government to provide food, medicare and financial assistance to distressed refugees but any attempt to violate the special status of the state is likely to disturb peace. And, the govern-ment has to bear in mind that all refugees irrespective of the faith they profess are humans. The government cannot have different yardsticks for different refugees. A legislation passed by both houses of the state legislature sought return of 1947 Muhajireen (people who were forced to migrate from Jammu in 1947). The legislation was referred to Supreme Court for opinion. It became an Act when the apex court returned it more than a decade ago without amendments. Unfortunately the Supreme Court returned the legislation at a time when BJP ruled India. The then Home Minister, LK Advani refused to implement it for obvious reasons. It is widely believed that half a million Muslims were forced to migrate from Jammu region in 1947. The government of India got a petition chal-lenging the Act filed in the apex court through a Jammu based politician. The problem is that the petition rarely comes up for hearing and the state government also seems indifferent to the petition. When the same gov-ernment becomes humane for WPRS and KPs, one finds it very difficult to digest. The Sainik Colonies and composite townships reflect the bias that the government holds for a particular community. Such measures have polarized the already volatile state. Further polarization seems quite imminent. Where will it end? Can the people of Jammu Kashmir allow further polarization of their state?

Green businessesIt makes sense to promote ‘green economy’

Let me begin with the psychol-ogy of green colour. Known as the color of life, it is also

traditionally associated with money and finances. Precisely, this most calming colour has many shades. It is the colour of prosperity and envi-ronment, and relates to the business world.

Of late with global warming and an energy crunch, sustainable envi-ronment friendly businesses have begun capturing the world’s imagi-nation. Yes, I am talking of green businesses. Entrepreneurs across India are investing talent, technology and money to kick-start green busi-nesses. Huge investments are made into alternative energy resources by them with the aim to trigger a revolu-tion of green economy.

These green entrepreneurs pursue their business processes with a new innovation which address the problem of the society along with taking care of environment. This ‘green entrepreneurship’ basically does not only seek for profit but tends to conserve and improve the pres-ent condition of the environment and also providing something new and eco-friendly to the society.

Incidentally, growth in green businesses will automatically reduce environmental risks and lead to sus-tainable development while protect-ing environment without causing ecological scarcities. This is where green economy surfaces.

So when green entrepreneurship is gaining momentum, why not to mould our culture of entrepreneur-ship programmes in line with grow-ing concept. Since entrepreneurship development is currently a thrust area of the state government, it would be in the fitness of things to see ‘green concept’ embedded in the business models. Let it be manda-tory for entrepreneurs here to base their projects on the use of alterna-tive renewable energy resources like solar energy.

Since availability of power is crucial to the sustainable growth of entrepreneurship culture, harness-

ing solar energy would not only help to fight power crisis, but will also give impetus to the concept of ‘green entrepreneurship’.

It’s pertinent to mention here that importance of providing sustainable and affordable energy to the people here in Jammu & Kashmir has always missed the focus of our ‘men of vision’. Our need for power has always remained acute and urgent in nature. As far as providing of energy to even poorest of the poor goes, it is only through harnessing of hydel-power.

Even as we have plenty of water resources to generate 20000 MW, lack of financial and infrastructural resources has failed us to realize this potential. Had half of it been realized the state would have been providing 24x7 electricity to the consumers here and selling about 5000 MW to other parts of the country.

So with huge mismatch in demand and supply, this unreliable electricity has remained a visible impediment to doing businesses and a major roadblock in growth of our economy. Under the circumstances, harnessing power through sunshine at large scale cannot be overlooked for long.

Notably, generating electricity through solar system is actually one of the cleanest methods of energy production known so far. The great thing about solar power is that it’s an effective instrument to negotiate climate change which is emerging as a major threat to the existence of life on earth.

Meanwhile, the use of renewable energy resources at national level is still at a nascent stage. Even as it is loaded with high capital costs and technological uncertainty, it still makes a sense to welcome, adopt and promote green entrepreneurship in the state.

On environmental front, when drastic climate change is taking its toll by causing visible ecological imbalance, cultivating green econ-omy at the moment is an alternative vision that can generate growth and improvements in people’s lives in ways consistent with sustainable development. Efforts to have sustain-ing and advancing economic, envi-ronmental and social well-being here in the culture of entrepreneurship are inevitable.

Let me conclude by sharing a Chi-nese proverb: The frog does not drink up the pond in which it lives.

(The views are of the author & not the institution he works for)

Institutionalising Social ServiceWe take care of them as a last resort so that they do not become street children

This is in response to Fir-dous Syed’s “Come Rama-dhan……” , Greater Kash-

mir, June 11, 2016. The learned author raised many vital ques-tions related to the social service sector in Kashmir. J&K Yateem Foundation, being one of the vol-untary organizations, as a matter of duty, puts on record certain aspects pertaining to these ques-tions.

J&K Yateem Foundation has as its core policy not to practice Stray or Door to Door collection from the day of its inception. In fact, the Foundation has attracted hostility and displeasure of partic-ular section of people on account of being against this practice.

JKYF is forthrightly striving for institutionalizing the social audit mechanism for all NGOs. The theme of recent 16th Annual Day Commemoration programme of JKYF held at Tagore Hall on June 2nd, was “Dignified Life of Orphans, Widows & Destitute---Our Responsi-bilities”. In this programme, senior journalist Altaf Hussain delivered keynote address while former Chief

Information Commissioner G.R. Sufi had been requested to speak on the topic “Accountability & Social Audit Mechanism in Social Ser-vice Sector”. The learned speakers alongwith chief guest Justice (Retd) Bashir Ahmad Kirmani besides Moulana Arshad Hussain spoke on the theme and sub topics extensive-ly covering almost all aspects of the social service sector. The speakers fairly and freely talked about trans-parency, accountability and social audit. They put forth the criticism for which JKYF consciously pro-vided the pulpit.

The two main films titled :“Ehsaas e Shafaqat-Together with Orphans, Widows & Destitute-Part-I & II” produced by Press & PR Division of JKYF need to be watched by the learned author. These films containing opinion of a cross section of people will give any viewer a clear idea about the vision of JKYF. Similarly, JKYF’s annual publication “Ehsaas” brought out since 2012-13 would definitely make the learned author and others aware about the JKYF’s vision of debating and discussing the core issues while providing platform to other NGOs besides involving cross section of people including media-person.

JKYF also does not see the set-

ting up of orphanages as ideal solu-tion in a situation where over 2.14 lakh orphans (Save The Children Survey) are calling for attention. In totality, 2000 orphans (both boys & girls) are roughly said to be taken care of by various orphan-ages in the Valley. The paradox is that no one is talking about the welfare and rehabilitation of rest of the left out orphans (out of 2.14 lakh) and only orphanages are brought into bad light, that may endanger the future prospects of the underprivileged microscopic minority of our nation.

We are take care of them as a last resort, so that they do not become street children who would indulge in unlawful and illegal activities. There are many cases where uncles and other relatives usurped the properties of these orphans.

And the picture is not so rosy. Poor people die for medicines, poor widow is restless and helpless to feed her children, poor children have no access to education, leave aside quality education, and poor unmarried girls are crossing 40. The widows who could marry are not able to do so because of non avail-ability of dignified proposals (along with rehabilitation package for their children) of. It seems a distant

dream for those women also who were divorced and have crossed 40.

In absence of guardian or custo-dian, the children of a person who sacrificed his life for a great cause ended up becoming drug addicts though they were provided mon-etary and other facilities.

Like common people crave for best residential accommodations for themselves with all best pos-sible facilities, JKYF management also took considered decision to arrange best possible accommoda-tion for these underprivileged chil-dren. Our esteemed donors and contributors insist to provide best possible facilities to the inmates.

Some Questions?Unfortunately the learned

author’s contention that recon-struction of Bait-ul-Hilal is a mis-placed priority, is out of context and far from the reality. The learned author must recall that Septem-ber 2014 floods damaged the resi-dential accommodation that was an old structure made of mud and wood. So, the additional burden on JKYF. The Rs 15 Crore state of the art project comprises accommoda-tion facility from existing 50 to 100 Children and covers provision for playground for children.

Assuming that orphanage is a

misplaced priority, how many fam-ilies have adopted or are ready to adopt all such underprivileged chil-dren and take care of them in the light of Prophet’s (PBUH) saying that “the best home amongst Mus-lims is the one where an orphan is treated and nurtured well.” Who is there to tell people about the miseries, sufferings and trauma of underprivileged, their sighs and sorrows? Who is there to come up with ideas, vision and road map and implement the same to address the survival issues of such underprivileged people? Who are the people or families that visit orphanages regularly to spend some moments with the orphan inmates.? Such children are a secluded lot who have no connec-tions with our mainstream society.

We acknowledge there could be deficiencies and lacunae in our part time voluntary activities. For that we need guidance to overcome these deficiencies. We, at JKYF, wholeheartedly call upon all the honest, sincere, efficient, learned and professionally skilled people to take participate in the working of the Foundation. We assure we will follow them to take forward this great humanitarian cause.

A systemic failure |

After the recent government forma-tion I asked Y Khan, a sort of a colleague, in somewhat congratu-

latory tone. “You must be happy that your MLA has become a minster now”. To my utter surprise, Khan was not amused. Our MLA is a polite gentleman; perhaps he will prove to be an inefficient minister? What nonsense, why do you consider a seemingly honest and gracious person is going to end as a failure, I nearly rebuked Khan. Yet Khan was unmoved, we respect and have full sympathy with our MLA but we fear that an honest person is a misfit in this corrupt system, he tried to argue his point. Do you consider former MLA, a senior politician of the state with an unsavoury reputation, and his henchmen, the drug mafia, a better choice, than the present MLA, I retorted. Within, however, I seem to be convinced with the bewilder-ment faced by Khan; in the present system an honest person can barely survive. And this hardly is a revelation. This system is unable to coexist with an honest, is that not the ugly reality of the day? Who prospers presently; an honest and upright person or a crooked and corrupt?

Another minster had to negotiate the hideous nature of the prevailing condi-tions, within few days of his assuming the office. A village elder, a henchman kind

of a person, but his staunch supporter from his constituency dropped in with a peculiar request. Piqued yet maintain-ing his cool, minister called-up a senior bureaucrat just to placate his supporter. As expected, bureaucrat citing the rules excused himself to implement, an illegal request. Minster thinking that he has wriggled out himself from a tricky situ-ation, strived to explain his position to a rough mannered but a vote catcher, senior worker of his constituency. “Don’t cite the rules, we have not elected you to show us the rulebook, we want our job done by hook or crook, thus responded the hench-man and left minister’s place, angrily. The minster feeling high and dry would have been wondering at the prospect of becoming unpopular, for simply citing the rules. That too within days of his being elected as a public representative. What a predicament?

Above mentioned instances are not two isolated incidents, it’s how this crooked and corrupt system only works here. This very much, however, portrays a very near impossibility of a situation. Even if one is to be honest, it’s almost impossible for him to survive and thrive within a corrupt system. And the expectations from the so-called electorate towards their supposed representatives too are not fair or based on any merit. Normally, it’s expected of a governing system to work towards the col-lective good of the people. So far the con-ventional wisdom was that the individual welfare is inherently ingrained within that collective good. We seem to have reached a point where collective good sounds to be redundant. The sole prefer-ence now is fulfilment of individual inter-ests even at the cost of a collective good, or for that matter in contravention of all laws and rules, ethical behaviours and

moral standards. What’s the net outcome? We can at least name three broader

afflictions. One, the system has become dysfunctional beyond any repair. Go and ask any common person on the street, does this system work to meet the expec-tations of a common good? And we all know the answer. And is it possible to reform the system, we seems to have lost all the hopes. Second, the quality of the public representatives as well as the public servants has deteriorated, beyond any recognition. Thirdly, corruption and malpractices are on the rise, rather phe-nomenally.

The system is dysfunctional. Public representatives along with the bureau-cracy are becoming more and more cor-rupt; as a result corruption and malprac-tices are increasing with each passing hour. Therefore the hope of reforming the system to recede seems inevitable, now. If it’s not possible to reform a system, change it, could be the common wisdom. Where is the driving force for that? Does this society in any manner despise the corruption and dishonest means and ways? Is it not a truth that almost every-one in this society wants his/her share of the pie? Who here, cares for the ill-gotten, nature of the booty? Since values stand compromised, are we not heading towards a collective suicide?

MR, a close associate of Sajad Lone,

is a dear old friend. In the autumn, just before the previous assembly elections, coming out of the mosque after Friday prayers, I asked him a question; just out of curiosity and not of any particular empathy. Why your leader is meeting Modi and other RSS functionaries, pub-licly? Will it not harm his prospects in the hustings? “Since the day he has met Modi, more and more crowds are flocking him, it’s assumed that he is the next chief minister, why should he not take advan-tage of the given situation”, MR had a counter question. Did we not construe that any association with BJP or Modi could be a kiss of death for a Kashmiri politician? We are an emotional society. Yet individually, we are driven by per-sonal interests, only. This wicked behav-iour a habit with us may connote death of an ideology in Kashmir.

Sheikh Abdullah ridiculed Indian National Congress as gutter worms. But Sheikh only was instrumental in pro-viding political sanctity to Congress in Kashmir. Till yesterday RSS and its affili-ates were considered totally inimical to core interests of Kashmir; its unique identity and culture. The same RSS runs as a blood in the body politics of Kash-mir, presently. Today Mufti led PDP is the Trojan’s horse. Tomorrow it could be Abdullah’s NC, too keen to assume a collaborators role. Why blame Muftis and Abdullahs alone, are we all not the willing collaborators? They only survive due to our individual evil desires.

Mir ke deen-o-mazhab ka poonchte kya ho un nay tou

Kashka khaincha dair mein baitha kab ka tark Islam kiya.

What can I tell you about Mir’s belief? Tilak on forehead, sitting in temple,

and abandoned faith

Omar, the trend-setter |

The former Chief Minister and National Conference Working President Omar Abdullah, who

is also MLA Beerwah, recently gifted a cycle worth Rs 2.8 lakhs to lone inter-national cyclist from Kashmir, Akbar Khan. For Khan it was dream come true. Omar’s gesture elated Khan, who has brought laurels to the state and has achieved a feat of representing India at an international cycling event.

Khan, who hails from Beerwah con-stituency, had approached every gov-ernment body in the state to convince them to sponsor a cycle for him but no one paid any heed towards his pleas. Someone told Khan that he should approach his local MLA, Omar Abdul-lah, for help, who recognized Khan’s talent and gifted him a cycle which Khan can use in any event across the world. Omar has set an example for other politicians and has shown the

way that legislators have to lead from the front whether they are in power or are out of power.

Kashmir is full of talented youth but they need encouragement, support and recognition to showcase their skills. Unfortunately all the sportsmen are not as lucky as Khan. There are many sportspersons who despite having brought laurels for the state have not got the recognition they deserved. They yearn for basic facilities and always keep on crying hoarse that they have been ignored by one and all.

The glaring example of how sports suffer in Jammu and Kashmir is the mess within the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA). It has taken a heavy toll on the players and it was evident from the poor performance of JK cricket team in the last Ranji trophy season and the subsequent one-day series. The politicization of JKCA has pushed the association towards the edge and has led to the players losing interest in the game.

The NC patron, Dr Farooq Abdul-lah, who also heads his faction of JKCA, should learn from his son (Omar), who without caring for any political ben-efits, came forward to help the cyclist, Dr Farooq Abdullah should give up hostility and allow the Sports Minister Imran Ansari to run the association. It would prove beneficial for JK cricketers

and JK cricket as well. Politicization of sports in Jammu and Kashmir has led to talented youngsters not getting a chance to prove their mettle.

Just a month ago the JKCA led by Imran Ansari had denied a letter to a Kashmiri player who had got an invi-tation from England to play county cricket. He was denied the letter at the pretext that he represented the cricket club which enjoyed the patronage of JKCA led by Dr Farooq Abdullah. It was only after the intervention of the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti that the player was given the letter which paved the way for the player to acquire British visa.

Young Kashmiri boys have got talent and have proved their worth on many occasions. They need resources and full backing from the state and other institutions to shine as superstars. Poli-ticians should take a cue from Omar and identify the sportspersons in their respective areas. Besides sports they can help the students who are bright but don’t have resources to fulfill their

dreams. Omar taking interest in sports activi-

ties and promoting sportsmen is a wel-come gesture and one hopes he keeps on helping the people in need and sets an example for others. When Omar was in power he could have done a lot but during his six-year tenure as the Chief Minister he remained pre-occupied with other issues.

The incumbent Chief Minister Meh-booba Mufti and the sports minister Imran Ansari should mark promoting sports activities and sportsmen as pri-orities so that this sector gets a much needed fillip. As far as sports activi-ties are concerned there is no dearth of talent in Kashmir from football to Thang-Tha young Kashmiri boys and girls participate in these games active-ly. Many among them are unsung heroes. Their talent needs to be recog-nized and they should be assured that everyone is backing them.

Till date many announcements have been made that state and central gov-ernments have earmarked crores to develop sports sector and to provide succor to the sportsmen. Time has come to give practical shape to these announcements and set the things moving. Sports is a vital sector and no dispensation can afford to ignore it.

"Iqra Bismi Rabbikallazi Khalq (Read in the name of thy Lord)’’ [96:1] These were the words

with which archangel Gabriel came for investing Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) formally as Prophet, at the age of forty while he was meditating in the cave of Hira in 610 A.D. ‘Read’ being the lead word, the trend was set for centuries of scholarship, with the Prophet (A.S) enjoining upon his people to travel even to distant China to pursue knowledge. Not only did the religion sanction it, the state adopting the religion as its guide and counsel backed the pursuit. In the realm of Islam faith reigns supreme, however in the pursuit of logic, Muslims did not lag behind Greeks. Greeks initi-ated the pursuit of logic.

In the Umayyad era [661-750 A.D.] the Islamic capital shifted to Damas-cus. Byzantines lost their prime prov-ince of Syria to Islamic forces, as an intolerant Christianity failed to pro-vide for scholarship, which fires not only imagination but creates room also for technical excellence, needed to shape a state. Damascus was the first center of scholastic activities. Amongst the Umayyad, we see, Khalid bin Yazeed preferring to remain in his chemistry laboratory, rather than take up the reins of Caliphate, which was once offered to him. Khalid was the forerunner of Jabir, known as Gaber in medieval Europe, who has a high place amongst chemists of all times. Famed as a metallurgist, he defined or re-defined many metals. Much more, quantitatively and quali-tatively was slated to happen in the centuries ahead.

Abbasid era [750-1258A.D] wit-nessed a giant leap in pursuit of logic. Caliph Mansoor, the second amongst Abbasids set in tune a translation industry, the like of which, the world has hardly witnessed. Beset with dys-pepsia, he was treated by physicians of Jundi Shahpur Medical School, across Shat-ul-Arab, the narrow waterway between Iraq and Iran. The Iranian school in Jundi Shahpur prac-ticed a mixture of ancient medical lit-erature; Greek, Indian, Persian and Egyptian. Hunan, the Christian, who treated Mansoor, was one of the lime lights. With official backing, entail-ing financial support, he assembled

a team of all nationalities, all faiths and all ethnicities. It had the Jew, the Christian, the Arab, and the Indian working together. Pursuit of truth and logic was their forte, rather than prop-agation of a single stream of belief or academic discipline, much like the ancient Greek sages, who had put the inhabitants of planet on trail of truth and logic.

Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru salutes the effort of Arabs in preserving ‘’all that was sacred in Greek literature’’. Not only did they preserve it, they elevated it to next level; the empiri-cal pursuit. They did it by a marriage of faith and science [Anfas (philoso-phy of life, in its pinnacle faith) and Afaq (science): Quranic terms]. Thus we had Bu-Ali-Sienna (Avicenna) the prince amongst physicians, a philoso-pher who took Aristotle’s studies to dizzy heights. The pursuit of logic led to free thinkers called ‘Mutzi-lites’ in the reign of ‘Mamu’n’ son of Haroon Rashid, who inspired the tale of Arabs ‘Arabian Nights’ [Ilf Laili va Lail (thousand and one nights)]. While as father had glamour, pomp and pageant; the son had scholarly pursuits. The free thinkers took logic to extremes, seeking the logical expla-nation of faith.

Imam Ghazali had to label it ‘inco-herence of philosophers’ only to be repudiated by Ibn Rushd (Averroes) who labeled Ghazali’s work ‘Incoher-ence of incoherent’ reviving Aristo-telian thought. It was in the writings of Ibn Rushd that post-renaissance Europe got hold of the ancient Greek master. His view is held in greater respect in Europe, while as Imam Ghazali is revered in Islamic world. Ghazali didn’t oppose logic; however, he put forward the view of strength-ened faith, which subsequently opens

all doors to logic. Faith reveals secrets and the knowledge which illuminates the soul, widens the vision. That remains the logic of Imam Ghazali.

Avicenna’s ‘Qanun’ [Canon law of Medicine] was the standard text of medicine in post-renaissance Europe until Europe took rapid strides in pro-viding cure, not only with medicine but by the use of surgeon’s scalpel. However the descriptions of many diseases owe their origin to Avicen-na, especially infectious diseases. He wrote extensively on mental disorders too. Razi (Razzes) added to the Arabic pool of knowledge, combining philoso-phy and medical science. There is a galaxy of pursuers of logic, like Ibn Hashm, and the anatomist, Ibn-Nafis, whose description of lesser circula-tion (pulmonary circulation) predates Harvey’s description of systemic cir-culation.

What Arabs had done earlier by getting the Arabic version of Greek and pursing knowledge was done by Europeans too. Roger Bacon led the effort of obtaining the Latinized ver-sion of Arabic. He had studied the Arab advance in schools of Cordova/Qurtubah in Spain. Later original Greek manuscripts were reported to have been discovered. Thus Europe started on a path of massive explosion of knowledge. However faith has taken a back seat in relentless pursuit of sci-ence. The material relief provided has led to a crisis of spirit, of faith, which Europe is unable to come to terms with. Masters like Goethe noticed the early decay in West and sought to correct it by east/west synthesis of thought. What we are witnessing on the con-trary is the unfortunate clash of civili-zations. Unless arrested, it might set at naught, what humanity has achieved by millennia of pooled effort of Greeks, Arabs, Indians, Chinese and last but not the least; Europeans!

Loss as Context, Shock as ResponseKashmiris must have an independent politics, but not isolated. We have relations beyond our immediate, and imposed, borders

DEBATEMEHBOOB MAKHDOOMI

[email protected]

All the brilliant political and intellectual ideals, like secularism, democracy, nationalism, and pluralism turned into fake political projects, once transported to Muslim lands.

Faith reveals secrets and the knowledge which illuminates the soul, widens the vision. That remains the logic of Imam Ghazali.

Unfortunately, we just see angry people fulminating from the pulpits. These are the people, who are anything but approachable.

MY POINTDR. JAVID IQBAL

[email protected]

The shock felt at the loss of Muslim political power by people like Iqbal, Maududi, Abul Kalam, al-Banna,

Qutb, and many other towering Muslim personalities of the recent past was unimag-inably immense. The idea of an Islamic civilisation that once swept the world, and ruled for over thousand years, produced two things at a time. One, a profound pain that made these minds lastingly restless. Two, an architectonic Islamist-politics that envisioned a future where the loss can be recovered. Iqbal’s poetry is drenched in this yearning for a global Muslim political power, rooted in the lands of Islamic civili-sation.

Those who take the context away and wish to understand a mind like Iqbal or Maududi do a great injustice to all such per-sonalities. We can be critical of their ideas, and we must be if knowledge has to grow, but these personalities are our civilisational assets. They are our greats and if any mean-ingful politics has to emerge in the Muslim world it has to be mindful of this distinction. The spirit and soul of these great men must inform our collective efforts in the future.

We can repudiate many of their ideas, and the foundational ones too, but even for a minute we cannot severe from them.

It was this severing of ties that pushed Kashmir to disaster. One wonders what Sheikh M Abdullah was doing by slipping into Nehru’s shadow, and at the same time projecting himself as a great admirer of Iqbal. It simply doesn’t add up. When the ideas like Indian nationalism, a secular politics, an idea of a plural society were being thrust on us from the times Muslim Conference was converted into National Conference, we were estranged from the given strengths of our politics. All the bril-liant political and intellectual ideals, like secularism, democracy, nationalism, and pluralism turned into fake political projects, once transported to Muslim lands. Simply because they were operated against people’s interests. Kashmir is a glaring example of that. How could a mass leader, as Sheikh Sahab was, be unmindful of such a harrow-ing amputation. We were cut off from the body of which we were, and still are, an inalienable part. One reason we can locate is Sheikh Sahab’s insensitivity towards the pain that the greats like Iqbal and Maududi felt. Sheikh Sahab could not expand the frame of his politics. He remained limited to opposing the Dogra rule, and in that missed the larger plot. No man alive could take the political decisions as were taken by Sheikh M Abdullah. May be he never made a choice, and what was offered to Kashmir’s Freedom Movement as Sheikh’s choices were never his. Because none of the politi-cal choices about the Muslim politics any-where in the world can be real if the Muslim

civilisational spread, both historical and geographical, is not live in the background. The choices can still be different, but invari-ably informed by the essential Muslimness

of our politics. Those propagating the idea of independent Kashmir need to guard them-selves against making such political fallacy. While fighting for the freedom of a people, you can’t lose sight of the civilisational and geographical advantages. After all what is politics if not the strengths inherent in the Lands and Peoples that comprise your web of relationships. In any corner of the world no people are completely isolated. Kash-miris must have an independent politics, but not isolated. We have relations beyond our immediate, and imposed, borders.

Back to the context. If anyone has to fathom the pain that the loss of political power inflicted on Muslim mind, he can listen to one of the memorable speeches delivered by Syed Maududi. The title of this speech is “Tehreek-e-Islami Ke Unat-tees Saal – 29 years of the Islamic Move-ment.” In that speech he talks about the times when Khilafat Movement in India had failed, and Muslims were in a state of total ruin. It was in those days that Abul ‘Ala travels from Delhi to Hyderabad, his birth place. As the man himself narrates, he finds a Congressman, some Dr Khare, in the compartment. ‘The way Muslim pas-sengers on board were behaving in presence of that Congress leader, alarmed me about the future of Muslims in the sub-continent. I couldn’t believe that here are the people who ruled this country up until yesterday, and here is how obsequiously they behave in presence of a person who they presume to be their future ruler. English were yet to leave, and we had already started behav-ing like slaves.... I reached Hyderabad, and couldn’t sleep for nights together’. This is

in a nutshell how Maududi’s experience is summed up.

Here is another such experience. When Raashid Gannouchi, now famed

Tunisian Islamist leader, was warming upto Islamist activities in Paris, his brother vis-ited him. Making the mother’s illness as an excuse he wanted Gannouchi to come back, actually wanting to see him out of such “idi-otic” activities. Gannouchi accompanied his brother travelling by land through Spain. Here is how Gannouchi’s biographer puts it:

“In the city of Cordoba they visited the grand mosque and toured with great dis-tress the relics of the Islamic civilization. The visit affected the brothers immensely. Gannouchi wept bitterly and so did his brother, in spite of his non-commitment to Islam at the time. Ghannouchi’s elder broth-er had at a young age memorized the Qur’an but became less religious as he grew up. He eventually stopped praying altogether, and that was, according to Ghannouchi, due to the influence of the secular atmosphere of the 1950s and 1960s. But after that somber tour of al-Andalus (Andalusia, in southern Spain) he returned to prayer and had, until he passed away, been a practicing Muslim and an absolute supporter of his younger brother’s family and of the Islamic move-ment he later founded.”

Kashmir also has to be mindful of this Muslimness of its politics, though at the same time vigilant on its specificity. Both carry due political value. But all this has to be now figured out beyond the state of shock. The shock that appeared in the form of Islamist politics, created its own fissures.

Logic: THE ISLAMIC PURSUITReform the Attitude Empathize & connect with the Youth

A silly analogy may set the scene right. If your computer chord is not plugged into the socket, you can’t charge your computer,

no matter how much electricity you have at your disposal. Another similitude could be of a flash drive where data can’t be transferred, if it does not fit into the USB port. It doesn’t mean that your com-puter or flash drive is defunct; it just shows lack of operational or technical skills. These parables are allegorical which I used to underscore the impor-tance of a human emotion, called Empathy. When you successfully empathize with anybody, you two are connected to each other. Now, it all depends upon your content and skills to convince the other person. And if empathy is absent, your truth, sin-cerity, content & skills will fall on deaf ears.

Yes, I am referring to the preachers & Islamists (although I’ve my reservations with the term), specifi-cally of South Asia, with Kashmir being no exception. Their teachings and beliefs that Islam is applicable to all the facets of life, is all fine. My observation is that there’s a problem in their attitude and methodol-ogy, which needs to evolve. Of course, there are some exceptions but they are very few. For the sake of con-spicuousness, beliefs can’t be reformed but there is a role further than emphasizing just the beliefs, which is not being assiduously pursued. Coming to the point, when a kid goes to an Islamic school, he learns 5 pillars of Islam, memorizes some Surahs of Quran, learns Hadith wabout what is Halaal & Haraam. Almost, all of us in Muslim countries go through this process. For rest of our lives, in Juma’h or Eid prayers, Halaqas and religious talks, same beliefs are repeated over & over again. I completely understand its importance, but the question is: Does it ensure that we stay on the right path all our lives? Why is it that our new gen-erations are going farther from Islam in their lives? Why is it that bribery, usury, illicit relations, deceit, shamelessness, disobedience to parents and greed are at all-time high, and charity, truth, sincerity, selfless-ness and Imaan is at all-time low? Everybody knows what is Halaal and Haraam, why then this conscious proclivity and predisposition towards Haraam? We all know somebody who prays 5 times a day or even sports a beard, but he roams around with somebody he shouldn’t be with. We all know officers, who have Musallah in their work-place, but do things they shouldn’t be doing in the same office. I know major-ity of wrong doers are those who aren’t regular in prayers, but that is not confusing. A religious person involved in irreligious act is something serious and it smacks of inefficacy of the whole system we have put in place to teach Islam. What is it?

A human is not a machine. He’s gullible and com-mits sins, even after knowing it shouldn’t be done. Therefore, he needs a regular and specific counseling, not the monotonous lectures which he has almost memorized now. What’s terribly missing here is the empathy. Unfortunately, we just see angry people ful-minating from the pulpits. These are the people, who are anything but approachable. One is more scared of them than being fearful of God. Their demeanor and outlook is such that a teenager prefers to stop coming to Masjid & continue sinning rather than seeking corrective advice from them. We all sin but in mosques and in religious gatherings we all pretend to be angels, with loud Astagfirullah after talking about

a sin. How on earth do you expect someone to come to you and discuss his sinful situation? You make him feel that he’s the only one in your gathering who is all set for perdition & eternal damnation. You use strong adjectives for those who do what he does, in your talk. He can’t dare say to you that he does it, so he camouflages to be one of you. And when he fails to stop sinning, he thinks he’s different from you and has unique feelings, which you don’t have and there-fore, cannot understand. As one Sheikh Sadullah says that many children know how to pray; very few feel the need to pray, fewer still understand its impor-tance. Quite a large number of children know how to read Qura’n. Only a few read the Qura’an in order to understand it & fewer still in order ti find solutions.

And even if someone talks about the challenges our Imaan faces, he uses such complicated and deroga-tory euphemisms that the youth completely miss it. If immorality is at its peak, you can’t shy away from being frank about it. Empathize with youth. Tell them it’s okay if you feel the way, you do. Tell them you felt the same when you were their age. It’s normal. This brings a smile on their face, which shows s/he’s con-nected with you and is satisfied that you’ve understood the issue. A boy liking a girl or vice versa is not a sin. It becomes so when they act upon it wrongfully. Talk about it in Masjid. Take cue from the likes of Noman Ali Khan of the United States, which is the reason I find youth in the West living Islam everyday, as compared to their counterparts in the developing world. The sinners love to listen to him, because they think he understands them. Be aware of the trends of the youth, the cars they like, X-box games they play, the brands they wear, so that when you give examples, they can envision it. Talk about Fiqh, Sharia’h and History, but spare time to deliberate on the solutions of the prob-lems people in general and youth in particular face in day to day life, while guarding their Imaan. It’s okay for a Masjid compound to have a basketball court and for Imaam Sahib to play there with the local youth. Being acrimonious, secluded and to mix only with the elderly, is not a trademark of being an effective & ‘decent’ Imaam. The fiery speeches may turbocharge them, only to see it fizzle out by the time they get out of the masjid. The challenges our youth faces are beyond their capacity. We can no longer afford to put it under the rug or just skim over it and keep on talking about our beliefs. These challenges are real and cannot be overcome, unless we are connected with our young ones, which can happen only by empathy. Be rigid in beliefs, not in approach. Make Islam cool in Young Kashmir. Times are changing. As Sayyidina Ali (RA) said ‘Train your children with training different from your training, because they have been created for a period different from yours’.

One wonders what Sheikh M Abdullah was doing by slipping into Nehru’s shadow, and at the same time projecting himself as a great admirer of Iqbal. It simply doesn’t add up.

What Arabs had done earlier by getting the Arabic version of Greek and pursing knowledge was done by Europeans too

However, the Government said only one person among 799 persons arrested last year, was still behind the bars.

According to the Government, 146 militancy-related incidents were reported in the state during this period. In these incidents, 22 civilians, 39 forces personnel and 108 militants were killed.

The Government also revealed that four probes were ordered during this period.

“Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on floor of the Leg-islative Council last week assured us that the New Industrial Policy will be revisited, but the statement of Industries Minister is in contrast with the Chief Minister’s statement,” said Congress MLC, G N Monga.

The government should clarify whether the indus-trial policy is on hold or in vogue, he said.

“It’s ironical that ministers of the government are not on the same page on this issue. The Industries min-ister is saying that the new industrial policy is being implemented while his colleagues in the cabinet say it has been put on hold,” he said.

“There is confusion prevalent due to flip-flop policy of the government. The New Industrial Policy is dilut-ing special status of J&K and the government should come clear on it,” he said.

The Congress MLC was seconded by legislators of National Conference who created ruckus in the House, demanding the government to make a statement on the issue.

National Conference MLC, Showkat Ahmad said there is apprehension about the policy and the govern-ment’s dual statements are adding to it. “We want the Industries minister to clarify whether the policy has been implemented or not because he has stated in the Lower House that the policy is in vogue which is in total contrast to the statement of Chief Minister in this House last week,” he said.

His party colleague Qaiser Jhamsheed Lone said the government is “hoodwinking people and lawmakers.”

“There is something fishy going on; the govern-ment’s stands is not clear on the Industrial Policy which opens gates for non-state subjects to acquire land in the state,” he added.

Responding to queries on the New Industrial Policy, Minister of Education, Naeem Akhtar said the govern-ment has already made its stand clear.

“Yesterday the Finance Minister has already clari-fied that there are three to four contentious clauses in the Industrial Policy—including the provision regard-ing non-state subjects being allowed to develop new industrial estates—which have been put on hold and the changes in the industrial policy will be notified after the House passes the budget,” he said, trying to put to rest the controversy.

“2394 prisoners are in jails. However, some of the prisons have the inmate position much above their original capacity,” the reply said.

Though the central jails at Jammu and Srinagar have the capacity of 920 and 360 respectively, the number of prisoners lodged—as on May 22, 2016—is on the lower side at 378 in Jammu and 365 in Srinagar.

In the reply, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti—who holds the Home Department portfolio—said the gov-ernment had spent Rs 7.6 crore for the prisoners in the financial year 2015-16.

“Besides, 985 watch & ward, and other employees have been deployed for them in the barracks and wards of the jail inmates,” she said.

The reply reads that there is no proposal for creation of separate jail for women prisoners.

“Women prisoners are presently lodged in eight jails in separate enclosures (blocks). Only female ward and watch staff is deployed in the female blocks,” the reply mentions.

Most of the camps and bunkers were removed from summer capital Srinagar during the previous NC-Congress regime, while only six such structures were vacated since the PDP-BJP government came to power in the state, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, who holds the Home Portfolio, said in a written reply in the Assembly here.

Replying to a question by opposition National Confer-ence leader Omar Abdullah, the Chief Minister said a total of 258 camps and 18 bunkers were existing in the Valley as on January 1, 2009 - the year when Omar took over as the Chief Minister.

"The removal of remaining bunkers and camps of Army and central paramilitary forces will depend upon the review of security situation in consultation with all stakeholders, on case to case basis," Mehbooba said.

She said Srinagar accounted for the highest number of 117 camps and 11 bunkers followed by Sopore town-ship of Baramulla district (35 camps), Kulgam (27 camps), Pulwama (23 camps, three bunkers), Budgam district (20 camps, one bunker), Anantnag (13 camps), Bandipora (eight camps, one bunker), Kupwara (five camps, two bunkers), Shopian (five camps), Baramulla (four camps) and Gan-derbal (one camp).

Of these, 84 structures - 69 camps and 14 bunkers - were removed from towns and cities with effect from January 1, 2009, the Chief Minister said.

She said the highest number of 41 camps and 10 bunkers were removed from Srinagar followed by eight in Kulgam, seven camps in Sopore township, five camps each in Pul-wama and Shopian districts, two camps and one bunker each from Bandipora and Kupwara districts.

Among the bunkers removed included the one in Hand-wara town of Kupwara district where five persons, includ-ing a woman were killed in security forces firing following massive protests over the alleged molestation of a girl by a soldier in April - the month when Mehbooba took over as the Chief Minister of the state.

Giving year-wise break-up, the Chief Minister said the highest number of 22 camps and bunkers were removed in 2010 followed by 19 next year.

Fifteen such bunkers and camps were removed in 2012, 11 in 2009, eight in 2013, five in 2015, three in 2014 and one in 2016, she said.

Omar Abdullah-led government started the process of removal of bunkers from various parts of the Valley espe-cially Srinagar to reduce the footprints of security forces - a recommendation of the all-party parliamentary delegation that visited the state in September 2010 to take stock of the situation following the death of over 120 persons in street protests.

Mehbooba said while there was no security camp or bunker present in Ladakh region, no camp or bunker was removed from Budgam and Ganderbal districts till date.

Of the eight camps in Kulgam district, four were removed in 2009 and three in 2010, the Chief Minister said.

Mehbooba said only three camps or bunkers were removed in the last year of National Conference led gov-ernment in 2014.

After the formation of PDP-led government, five camps or bunkers were removed - two from Srinagar and one each in Awantipora township of Pulwama, Kupwara and Sopore township of Baramulla district in 2015, she said.

In 2011, a total of 19 camps or bunkers were removed - 14 from Srinagar, two from Shopian and one each from Sopore, Awantipora and Kulgam, she said adding, 15 bunkers or camps were removed in 2012 which included 12 from Srinagar, two from Sopore and one from Pul-wama.

Eight camps and bunkers were removed in 2013 - two each from Srinagar, Sopore and Shopian and one each in Kupwara and Bandipora districts, the Chief Minister said.

She said of the 11 bunkers or camps removed in 2009, Srinagar witnessed removal of five such structures fol-lowed by Kulgam (four) and Anantnag and Pulwama (one each). PTI

The sitting BJP Minister Abdul Gani Kohli also fig-ures in the list of land grabbers. Kohli, who is Minister in-charge Animal Husbandry, has allegedly constructed an educational institution on forest land in Jammu nearly 15 years ago. According to the Forest Ministry, the demarca-tion recently carried out by it has revealed that two kanal forest land in Khasra number 356 is under encroachment. However, the reply states that the Revenue department has submitted that the educational institution owned by Kohli falls in State land under Khasra No. 264.

“The matter is sub-judice before the High Court,” the Forest Ministry said.

The Government also claimed that ex-minister late Bashir Ahmad encroached upon forest land in Sunjwan Jammu.

It said presently sons of Bashir Ahmad are in possession of four kanals of the land. The case is currently under trial in the court of law, the Government said.

Ishtiyaq Ahmad Shapoo, working in Medical depart-ment and Muhammad Aslam working as JE in Public Works department are also in the list.

The Forest Ministry also revealed that seven business houses are in the list of encroachers.

According to the reply, Hotel Khyber Resorts in Gulmarg has encroached upon one kanal forest land in compartment number 39/ Gul, for which eviction notice has been issued to the concerned hotel for vacating the same.

“The land will be evicted in due course of time after completing all legal formalities,” the Ministry disclosed.

In Patnitop resort of Jammu, Hotel Pine View (2 Marlas), Hotel Mount Shivalik (One kanal & 9 Marlas), Hotel Subash (construction of road leading to hotel), Hotel Subash Palace (360 Sq.feet), Hotel Green Top ( 2268 Sq.feet in road and 1415 Sq. feet floral bed and shopping complex) and Hotel Forest View (1-2 Marlas under road leading to hotel), are under possession of forest land.

He said as soon the forces zeroed in on the house where the militants were hiding, they came under fire, triggering an encounter.

“Heavy exchange of fire continued till 12:30 pm. In the afternoon, forces launched the final assault and killed the first militant which followed by killing of another militant,” he said. “Both the slain militants are locals and belong to Hizbul Mujahideen outfit.”

Army’s Srinagar-based spokesman Lt Colonel N N Joshi said it was a “clean operation which started in the morning and ended in the afternoon.”

“It is for the police to identify the militants and deal with the law and order situation at the encounter site. We did our job and left,” he said.

Police sources said the two slain militants were iden-tified as Altaf Ahmed son of Abdur Rashid of Brath Kalan Sopore, and Imtiyaz Ahmed Lone son of Abdul Khalid of Vislankhoi, Sumbal.

“The two militants were active for the past two years and involved in a series of anti-forces activities,” they said.

The forces, however, faced terrible law and order situation during the encounter as scores of youth and women staged protests while the gunfight was on. Youth hurled stones at the police and other forces to divert their attention and help the hiding militants flee.

Witnesses said police resorted to firing tear-gas shells and pellets. Some reports said the cops also resorted to intense aerial firing in bid to break up the protests.

“Three civilians including two women were injured in the police action. One of the injured youth received serious pellet injuries on his head and was shifted to SKIMS, Soura where he is being treated,” police sources said.

The two injured women were identified as Razia Bano and Haseena Begum while the youth was identi-fied as Azhar Ahmed Mir.

Police later handed over the body slain militant Altaf Ahmad Mir to his family. Witnesses said thousands of people attended his funeral at his native village Brath Kalan.

At 9 pm, sources said, militants arrived at the grave of Altaf at Brath Kalan and offered the three-volley salute.

The second militant Imtiyaz, according to sources, was taken to Wusan via Palhallan where scores of people were waiting on roads. He was later laid to rest at martyrs’ graveyard Wusan.

Witnesses said hundreds of people offered his funer-al prayers amid pro-freedom slogans.

Youth at Palhallan also hurled stones at Army’s 29 RR camp at Wusan while carrying the body of Imtiyaz.

After conducting the post-mortem at Sub-district hos-pital Tangdhar, all the bodies were taken to remote Jabdi forests, 10 kms away from Tangdhar, and handed over to residents for the last rites.

Meanwhile, sources said the identity of the slain mili-tants could not be ascertained.

“The agitated youth later hurled stones and bricks on the forces who in turn lobbed numerous tear gas shells, chilly gre-nades and used pellet guns to disperse them,” witnesses said.

Four youth, hit by pellets, were shifted to District Hospital Anantnag for treatment.

“One of the youth who had sustained critical injury after being hit by numerous pellets in his eye was referred to a Srinagar hos-pital,” a doctor at District Hospital told Greater Kashmir.

Witnesses said few other youths also sustained tear gas shell injuries.

Three cops and two paramilitary forces personnel also sus-tained injuries in the clashes that soon spread to other old town areas of Cheeni Chowk and Mattan Adda and continued till late evening, reports said.

Several youth took shelter inside Jamia Masjid and were heard shouting pro-Azadi and pro-Pakistan slogans from the public address system of the mosque.

JKLF Chief Muhammad Yasin Malik who was scheduled to address a rally at Lal Chowk after Friday prayers was detained on way at Pampore.

However, several JKLF activists including its zonal president Noor Muhammad Kalwal and others managed to reach Islamabad and addressed the people in Jamia Masjid Hanfia. They appealed people to boycott the upcoming by-polls.

Earlier, Tehreek-i-Hurriyat activists carried a protest demon-stration from Jamia Ahlihadith against setting up of Pandit and Sainik colonies

Meanwhile, reports of violent clashes were also received from Kulgam, Kaimoh and Khudwani areas of Kulgam district.

“In Kulgam town, youth also attacked SOG camp with stones and bricks. The forces retaliated by lobbing tear gas canisters and firing warning shots,” reports added.

Witnesses said massive protests erupted in Nowhatta area soon after Friday prayers, forcing police and paramili-tary CRPF men to resort to intense tear-gas shelling. Earlier, the Hurriyat Conference (M) chairman had addressed a gath-ering outside the Jamia Masjid that culminated peacefully.

Witnesses said a group of youth resorted to waving of flags and then hurled stones at the police, triggering clashes in the area. Police and paramilitary men, who were deployed in strength, fired dozens of tear-gas shells and pellets to disperse the protestors, who were chanting pro-Islam and pro-freedom slogans.

The protesters said they were protesting against setting up of Sainik Colonies, New Industrial Police and creation of separate colonies for Kashmiri Pandits. Many of them also said that they were protesting against the “stage-managed” encounter at Kud in which Sheikh Tanvir Sultan was killed.

Witnesses said as the protests intensified, a youth, later identified by police as Asif Ahmed Bhat, a resident of Hab-hama area South Kashmir’s Pulwama district, sustained pellet injuries in his abdomen. He was immediately removed to SKIMS, Soura.

At least 20 policemen including SHOs of Rainwari and Nowhatta police stations, SDPO Nowhatta and 10 youth got injured in the clashes.

Witnesses said police and paramilitary forces fired indis-criminately at the protestors who were refusing to disperse.

“Today, it was a massive protest. Police and paramilitary CRPF men fired tear gas shells from all sides,” said a shop-keeper at Nowhatta.

A doctor at SKIMS Soura said the youth injured at Nowhatta has received serious pellet injuries in his abdo-men and his intestines have also suffered some damage.

“He is being operated upon and nothing can be said about his condition at present,” said the doctor, who wished not to be named.

The Hurriyat Conference (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq strongly condemned use of force on people at Jamia Masjid.

HURRIYAT (G) STAGES PROTESTSenior Hurriyat (G) leader and Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Gen-

eral Secretary Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai led a massive protest rally after congregational Friday prayers at Hyder-pora here.

In his address, Sehrai alleged that New Delhi “with the help of its local agents” is working to change the demo-graphic character of J&K. “We caution people that any care-lessness at this crucial juncture will have very serious con-sequences and our future generation will lose their Muslim identity,” he said. “At any cost, we have to oppose setting up of separate colonies for Sainiks and Kashmiri Pandits. We also reject the new industrial policy.”

Sehrai also said Sheikh Tanvir Sultan of Bemina was killed in a fake encounter. He demanded impartial probe into the killing of Tanvir.

According to Hurriyat (G) spokesman, chairman of the amalgam, Syed Ali Geelani continues to remain under house arrest.

“It is for the 11th consecutive time when the pro-free-dom leader has been stopped from this important religious obligation of offering Friday prayers. This action of the government is cruel and immoral,” the Hurriyat (G) spokes-man Ayaz Akbar said. “PDP is following the same policies against Geelani that previous regimes did.”

JKLF STAGES PROTESTJKLF leaders and activists—following the joint protest

program—staged a massive protest demonstration led by vice chairman Advocate Bashir Ahmed Bhat at Budshah Chowk here.

According to JKLF spokesman, besides JKLF leaders and activists, a large number of people also joined this protest sit-in.

“The protesters raised slogans against conspiratorial plots of New Delhi and its Kashmiri stooges especially pro-posed construction of separate colonies for Pandits, ex-army men, industrial policy, arrests, raids and other oppressive measures including recent custodial killing of a young Kash-miri Tanveer Sultan Sheikh of Bemina,” the spokesman said.

In his address, JKLF vice-chairman said today’s joint pro-test program is against “various conspiratorial designs” of Delhi and “its stooges and also against oppression unleashed by police.”

“A delegation of Kashmiri Pandits had come to meet me and the meeting was very positive,” Mirwaiz said, addressing a gath-ering that was protesting the “anti-Kashmir policies” of the Gov-ernment, outside historic Jamia Masjid here. “It has been agreed between the resistance leadership (including myself, Syed Ali Geelani Sahib and Muhammad Yasin Malik Sahib) that a group would be formed among these parties that will initiate a process of dialogue and deliberation with Kashmiri Pandits across the board to understand their concerns. The group will also give assurances they need on their return to Kashmir.”

“From our side we will ask them to meet the Pandits living in J&K and see for themselves that they are most secure and living side by side with other communities rather than in separate colonies,” he said.

“The proposed creation of Sainik Colonies in Kashmir and the anti-Kashmir New Industrial Policy is a ploy to facilitate entry of non-state subjects to Jammu and Kashmir and thus change the demographic character of the state as well as its disputed nature,” Mirwaiz said.

He said the “real agenda of the government, which is being run from Nagpur (RSS headquarters) is to facilitate entry of non-state subjects into Jammu and Kashmir—through Sainik Colonies, settling West-Pakistan refugees, giving permanent homes to non-local slum dwellers and through the New Industrial Policy.”

About the New Industrial Policy, Mirwaiz called it “dishonest and controversial, with a purpose to subvert industrial growth and self-reliance of Kashmir entrepreneurs and allot large chunks of land in Kashmir to non-state subjects on the pretext of invest-ment.”

“In the light of the past experience, it appears that the purpose of outsiders after grabbing the land is not development of indus-try or employment generation but take benefit from incentives in crores that they get from the state exchequer (actually the money of Kashmiri tax payer) after getting the land,” he said.

He said there are glaring examples of such practices, espe-cially the Jammu and Kathua Industrial Units which were osten-sibly set up with the purpose of increasing industrial production and employment for youth in Jammu and Kashmir, but ended up “existing in paper only while the land owners grabbed incentives worth crores.”

“Land was allotted to non-state subjects at places like Zaina-kote and Lethpora for establishment of industrial units which never took off and these people have sublet the allotted land to forces and are enjoying rentals from them,” he said.

Mirwaiz said instead of addressing the “brazen inequality” that exists with regard to industrial policy between Jammu region and Kashmir division, where 95% incentive goes to Jammu and only 5 % to Kashmir division, “matters are being deliberately worsened for Kashmir entrepreneurs by such sinister policies.”

“Four different versions in this regard have come from four mouthpieces of the coalition government, giving rise to grave suspicion,” he said, warning the government that “we are close-ly watching the entire situation and are well aware of the RSS agenda that it is following.”

He also condemned restrictions, house arrests and detention of resistance leaders and activists and described it as “frustration of the government.” Mirwaiz also demanded a fair probe into the killing of Bemina youth Tanveer Sultan.

MALIK DETAINEDThe Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF)

Muhammad Yasin Malik who was scheduled to address a public gathering in south Kashmir’s Anantnag (Islamabad) town Friday was arrested by police at Pampore.

Police had erected checkpoints at many places on Srinagar-Anantnag highway and when Malik and other members of JKLF delegation reached Sempora near Pampore, police stopped and arrested them.

“Muhammad Yasin Malik was arrested along with JKLF vice chairman Mushtaq Ahmad Ajmal, Sheikh Khalid Mubarak, Pro-fessor Javed and Muhammad Amin Magloo. However, another JKLF delegation reached Islamabad and asked people to boycott upcoming by-elections,” a Front spokesman said.

“These arrests, ban on freedom of speech and restrictions are exposing the tall claims of PDP rulers who are continuously using the rhetoric of ‘battle of ideas’ to hoodwink international community and Kashmiri people. The Chief Minister recently in Assembly claimed that during PDP rule they allowed voices of dissent and even resistance camp was allowed to run election boycott campaign. But the truth is otherwise,” a JKLF spokesman quoted Yasin Malik as having said in his message.

“Today we have been arrested miles away from Islamabad and these arrests are actually exposing the blatant lies and deceitful politics of PDP rulers.”

Appealing people to boycott the Anantnag by-polls, Yasin Malik said: “Casting vote is harmful for the sacred cause of mar-tyrs and amounts to committing a national crime.”

“How can anyone strengthen RSS-backed politicians, how can anyone vote for those parties and persons who are hell bent upon implementing anti-Kashmir, anti-Muslim agenda of RSS in Jammu and Kashmir; how can anyone vote for those who hanged father of nation Muhammad Maqbool Butt and Muhammad Afzal Guru,” Malik said, adding that “all pro-India parties and politicians are like two sides of the same coin and are deployed for safeguard-ing Indian interests in Jammu and Kashmir and our reply to them should be a total and unanimous boycott on 22 June 2016.”

Meanwhile, a delegation of JKLF led by zonal president Noor Muhammad Kalwal and including zonal general secretary Sheikh Abdul Rashid and others managed to reach Anantnag town.

“They addressed a gathering at Jamia Masjid Islamabad and asked people to stay away from the elections as these were detrimental to the interests of Kashmiris. Strong protests against farce elections and arrest of Muhammad Yasin Malik were also held,” the Front spokesman said.

Highly placed sources told Greater Kashmir that the selection panel comprising Speaker Legislative Assem-bly Kavinder Gupta, Chairman Legislative Council Haji Inayat Ali, Leader of largest opposition party in the Assembly Omar Abdullah, Leader of the largest opposi-tion party in the Legislative Council Ali Muhammad Dar and Law Minister Haq Khan met here this evening and finalized the name of Hakim Imtiyaz Hussain for the coveted assignment.

Justice (R) Hakim, who attained superannuation in 2011, has already worked as member of the State Accountability Commission. He is presently heading a committee set-up by the Government to regulate fee structure of private schools in the State.

According to sources, Justice Bilal Nazki, Justice Nasir Ahmad Kakru and Justice Hakim Imtiyaz Hus-sain were in the panel of three judges shortlisted by the State Law department for the assignment.

According to sources, the selection panel also decided to recommend former Principal District and Sessions Judge, Jang Bahadur Singh Jamwal, for filling one of the vacancies of members in the rights’ body. Two former Principal District and Sessions Judges, Kuldeep Singh and Rashid Lone, were also in the race for the post.

According to sources, the recommendations of the selection panel would now go to Governor NN Vohra for the appointment.

“The remaining three vacancies of members in the Commission would be filled after Eid-ul-Fitr,” they said.

The SHRC comprising a chairperson and four mem-bers is completely defunct since June 28, 2014. It has been headless since Justice (retd) Bashir-ud-Din completed his tenure as its chairperson in October 2011. While Abdur Rashid Khan, former Inspector General of Police, completed his term as SHRC member in November 2011, another member Javaid Ahmad Kawoos attained superannuation on October 24, 2013. The remaining two members, Amlok Singh and Rafiq Fida, attained age of superannuation in June 2014, leaving the Commission defunct.

blasphemous and sacrilegious material among the students which resulted in public outrage against it and impact on the maintenance of law and order.”

“The management of the said school approached the High Court through a petition (OWP No. 897/2016 CMP No. 01/2016) titled Aasiya Rehman Vs State and others, praying therein the grant of permission to run the school,” the handout said.

The High Court in its order on 30.05.2016 in the said peti-tion has said: “Without going into the merits of the case, the DC Anantnag and CEO Anantnag are directed to look into the matter on the basis of the report by the officers referred to in the writ petition and take a final decision as to what is the next course of action to be taken. And if there is any justification that the grievance expressed by the school is genuine, then the authority are bound to consider the same for opening of the school for the benefit school children. The authority will also keep in mind the law and order situation. Let the decision in this regard be taken within a period of four weeks.”

“The management had restarted the functioning of the said school but it again triggered public outrage and again a delegation of local residents represented before the dis-trict administration and wanted the closure of the school, cancellation of its registration and legal action against its management,” the handout said.

To save the situation from going out of control, the Dis-trict Magistrate passed verbal orders for taking over the said school by the Cluster Head Kokernag (Principal HSS Kokernag) and to run its day-to-day affairs till the matter pending adjudication before the High Court is determined, it added.

“The management of the said school is dissolved and divested of the powers to administer the school and such powers are hereby invested in the Cluster Head Kokernag,” the handout further stated.

Committee for Fixation of Fee Structure of Private Educational Institutions of J&K State Hyderpora, SrinagarSubject: Complaints regarding harassment of students by Private Educational

Institutions

C I R C U L A RFee Fixation Committee has received numerous complaints from which it appears that most

of the Private Educational Institutions of the State are indulging in undue harassment of students studying in these Institutions on the pretext of delay in payment of monthly fee, other dues and related issues. Some schools award physical punishment while as others keep the students, whose parents make a default in the payment of monthly fee, standing in the class room or open ground. Such practice by these Institutions is highly objectionable and amounts to grave violation of rights of students.

While taking cognizance of such complaints, all such Private Educational Institutions are directed to stop this practice forthwith. In case of any violation/complaint stern action will be initiated against such schools, which may include de-recognition of the Institutions responsible for such acts.

Moreover, parents are also directed to approach the Committee in case they have any complaint regarding the harassment of their wards by school authorities under the garb of delay in payment of tuition fee and other related issues, so that proper action under rules is taken against the erring institutions.3744 Sd/-(Nazir-ul-Hussain Shah)

Srinagar, June 17: The State Level Sanctioning Committee (SLSC) headed by Chief Secretary, B R Sharma, Friday accorded sanction to proposed Agri Action Plan of Rs 109.35 Crore under Ras-triya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) and National Saffron Mission for 2016-17.

The proposed allocation under RKVY (Normal) is Rs 37 Cr and under the National Mission on Saffron Rs 72.35 Cr, an official statement said.

The sanctioned plan will be submitted to the Union Ministry of Agriculture for release of funds.

While reviewing the prog-ress of implementation of the scheme, the Chief Secretary called upon Agriculture Department to undertake evaluation/field studies of RKVY impact, both in terms

of addressing field level infrastructural gaps and also benefits that have accrued to the farmers in the form of yield and returns.

‘Under RKVY, focus should have been on achiev-

ing quantifiable outcomes in agriculture and allied sec-tors, however, it is observed that State has not been able to reap the benefits of the scheme to satisfactory levels and consequently agricul-

ture sector has not recorded major improvements on ground as was expected” the Chief Secretary said.

The Chief Secretary also underlined the need to work harder under the National Mis-sion on Saffron to revive the economic potential of the Saf-fron crop in the traditional Saf-fron growing belts of the State.

“The department needs to work harder so that entire amount of Rs 400 cr allocated under the flagship Saffron Mission is utilised and Saf-fron records improvement both in terms of yield and quality,” he said.

The National Mission on saffron was launched in J&K in the year 2010-11 as a flag-ship project of Rs 400 cr.

Till date, an amount of Rs 205 cr has been released. For the year 2016-17, an action plan of Rs 72.35 cr has been proposed.

Trekkers also face diffi-culties during the heavy rains and in extremely bad weather as not at any single point all along the trail a rain shelter has been created. Meanwhile, the association has appealed the tourism department authorities to ensure construction of new bridges and mending of the old and existing bridges so that trekkers face no problems.

Srinagar, June 17: District Football Association (DFA) Srinagar is aghast over the suspension of two JK Bank footballers. The players were placed under suspension for playing in the match against JK Bank-XI.

According to reports JK Bank management recently suspended two of its employees who happen to be private club level footballers for playing in a match against Bank-XI. The players had represented district Srinagar-XI against Bank-XI in the final of State football championship held recently.

Though the Bank-XI went on to win the title and lift trophy, but the par-ticipation of duo did not go well with the management of Bank-XI who reported the incident to its higher ups.

Bank-XI in order to main-tain its supremacy in the football arena of the state has been barring it’s dropped players from playing against Bank-XI while representing

any other club. Bank-XI every now and

then keeps adding and drop-ping players from its side. The dropped players who happen to be employers of Bank attend the office reg-ularly and also join some private club to keep their dream of playing football intact. However, amid all this they have to maintain clause that they would never face Bank-XI while representing another team.

The suspended duo had been selected by DFA Sri-nagar through selection process and played in whole tournament representing Srinagar-XI.

“It is irony that Bank Sports Board is run by the people who in order to maintain their supremacy in the field can make and break their own rules. Both the players were not part of Bank-XI and where free players who got selected through proper process. If Bank-XI did not want them to play against their own side then they should have communicated same

to tournament committee or J&K Football Association,” said DFA Srinagar Presi-dent Fayaz Ahmad Sofi.

“It seems that the manner in which Bank-XI where able to beat min-nows like Srinagar-XI in the final has not gone well with the management. Bank-XI despite being clear favorite had to sweat hard to beat Srinagar and lift trophy. Now instead of correcting their own weakness, Bank-XI management is looking for scapegoats and they have found these two foot-ballers,” he said.

He said that the two foot-ballers are very talented youngsters who are inno-cent and shouldn’t have been dragged into this con-troversy.

“It seems that some offi-cials of Bank- sports board are trying to hide their own failures and have created issue out of nothing. These two players would not have played against Bank-XI if they would have been told so. However, neither they nor we were informed about

the matter and later on both were suspended,” Sofi said.

“We have now requested JK Bank Sports Board Vice-Chairman to look into the matter. He said that he is currently outside State and upon his arrival in Srinagar he will take up the issue. He also assured that duo would be re-instated after tender-ing their apology,” he said.

Sofi said that the clause of not playing against Bank-XI if you are employee of the institution is vague rule that bears no justification.

“We will take up this rule issue with Bank manage-ment and tell them clearly that if they want to play in the State then they will need to follow democratic rules of JKFA which is governing body of football. In order to maintain their own supremacy they can’t impose their own rules. Further when a player is out of the playing eleven he would like to carry on his dream of playing football by joining some other private club which is right of every player,” he added.

India’s maiden entry into Hockey Champions Trophy final London, June 17: India reached the final of the Hockey Champions Trophy for the first time after Brit-ain and Belgium played a dra-matic 3-3 draw to finish below the Asian Games champions at the completion of the round-robin stage here.

In the summit clash on Friday, India will meet world champions Austra-lia, who defeated them 4-2 in their last league match of the six-nation tournament on Thursday.

India got seven points with two wins, two losses and a draw. Germany and Britain ended with six points each and will clash for the bronze medal. Bel-gium had five points while South Korea bagged three points. Australia totalled 13 points with four wins and a draw.

India had won only one medal in the 36 editions of the Champions Trophy - a bronze in 1982.

But they are set to better that record, thanks to Bel-gium and Britain, who played out a dramatic 3-3 draw in the final match of the pool phase, a result which helped neither team.

Belgium took less than 40 seconds to take the lead against the home favourites, with Thomas Briels guid-ing a cross into the roof of George Pinner’s net.

The home team captain Barry Middleton levelled with a penalty corner deflection five minutes before half time.

Belgium’s Loick Luy-paert gave his side a 3-1 lead with a brace of penalty corner drag-flicks either side of the break, putting the

Red Lions within one goal of sealing their own place in the competition final.

However, Britain’s deci-sion to replace their goal-keeper with an outfield player with six minutes remaining proved signifi-cant, with David Ames and veteran Middleton tying the match as the Belgians lost their discipline.

In the Australia-India clash, much of the match was closely contested although it were the Aus-tralians who went into half time with a 2-0 lead thanks to strikes from Trent Mitton and the day's captain, Aran Zalewski.

The Kookaburras added a third through Flynn Ogil-vie before India captain V.R. Raghunath pulled a goal back with a trademark pen-alty corner.

Australia restored the two goal advantage seconds later when Tristan White continued his remarkable tournament by scoring his third goal in three games.

A Mandeep Singh strike early in the fourth quarter gave India genuine hope. And they could have res-cued the game were it not for Australian shot-stopper Tyler Lovell who made numerous saves.

In the other match match, Constantin Staib and Oskar Deecke scored twice each as Olympic champions Germa-ny produced superb play to overpower South Korea 7-0.

The result was the title holders Germany’s biggest ever victory at a Champions Trophy, surpassing their 6-1 win over Spain in Karachi way back in 1981.

BCCI tightens noose on fund distribution to statesNew Delhi, June 17: In its attempt to prevent a repeat of the Goa Cricket Associa-tion (GCA) alleged fraud, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday decided to switch to electronic methods to dis-tribute funds to all state associations.

Goa Police had recently arrested three top-rank-ing GCA officials, includ-ing its president Chetan Desai, secretary Vinod Phadke and treasurer Akbar Mulla for allegedly encashing a Rs 3.13 crore cheque from the BCCI in 2006-07 and depositing it in a fake bank account in the name of the state cricket association.

In the wake of such incidents, the BCCI has now decided to tighten the screws while distributing funds to the state associa-tions.

Beerwah, June 17: National Conference Working President and MLA Beerwah Omar Abdullah on Friday felicitated the winners of the Narbal Premier League and congratulated the organizers for a successful event that saw wide participation and enthusiasm from the youth.

Omar gave away cash awards of Rs fifty thousand, Rs thirty thousand and Rs twenty thousand to the winning, runners-up and third team in the tournament respectively and interacted with the players who participated in the tournament.

Amin Hardware Lions won the finals and the trophy for the Narbal Premier League while as Friends Motors Eleven were the runners up. Star Gladiators bagged the third position in the tournament.

Highlighting the need to increase focus on youth and sports activities in the State Omar Abdullah said our youth should be presented with all avenues and opportunities to excel in different fields. “Our youth have already brought many laurels to the State in the fields of sports, academics and art and these success stories should be emulated to further hone the sea of talent in our State. In sports icons like Parvez Rasool, J&K has proved that its youth can compete at the highest levels at the national and international level and are extremely talented.”, he said while speaking at the event.

Omar Abdullah asked the youth to come forward and contribute their fresh ideas in changing systems that they deem archaic and constricting.
