DC Baramulla directed to submit report within 2 daysSrinagar, Dec 12 :

The divisional commissioner Kashmir Shalindera Kumar on Thursday ordered a time bound inquiry into the ambulance halt controversy which allegedly took away life of a Handwara patient on Decem-ber 10. “I have ordered inquiry headed by deputy commissioner Baramulla. The DC Baram-ulla has been asked to submit his report within two days,” Mr Kumar informed KNS on phone. Pertinently, a patient suffering from seri-ous cardiac ailment passed away at SKIMS allegedly due to inordinate delay created by mobile magistrate North Kashmir on December 9. The ambulance according to its driver Na-zir Ahmad was halted for almost half-an-hour at Seelu Sopore allegedly for using a wrong siren. “I was ferrying the patient from Handwara to SKIMS. As I reached Seelu Sopore, the authorities stopped me and opened all the lights and siren of ambulance. They kept the siren near ambulance tyre and asked me to break the same,” Nazir Ahmad, the ambulance driver working in Handwara district hospital had told KNS on phone. He further stated that the authorities made the ambulance wait for more than 30

minutes and that he repeatedly requested the officials about the critical condition of the patient but to no avail. “I requested them several times that the patient is in a critical condition with a major cardiac at-tack but they made me to wait on the road side and smashed the siren.”The reports received by Kashmir News Service said that a 60-year-old Abdul Rah-man Dar, resident of Yansoo Handwara was admitted at District hospital Hand-wara under MRD number 11408, dated De-cember 9, 2013. The doctors at the district hospital after diagnosing the patient of having suffered due to major cardiac ar-rest had referred him to SKIMS. However, on December 11, the Mobile Magistrate North Kashmir told KNS that there was no patient in the ambulance bearing number JK05A 3402which was stopped by him at Seelu Sopore during a routine check.Taking to KNS, Manzoor Ahmad Khan, the Mobile Magistrate Baramulla, Kupwara and Sopore said: “The ambulance which was halted for five minutes was ferrying no patient but few passengers including a woman.” Mr Khan added that the driver of the Sumo Type ambulance was stopped by his team after he created nuisance by using continuous siren despite the directions to stop the siren. “I was on my duty checking the vehicles at the spot. The driver indulged in heated arguments with my team members who came to me saying that there was no pa-tient inside the ambulance. Later

‘People all prepared to make J&K free from termites like NC’Lok Sabha, Assembly elections would

be proved waterloo for NC: PDPJammu, Dec 12:

Terming the coming Lok Sabha elections of the “trail-er” of the next Assembly polls, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today predicted that the State of Jammu and Kashmir would be rid from yoke of National Confer-ence after 2014 Assembly elections. Addressing impressive public meetings at Babay-da-Talab and Gajansoo area of Marh assembly seg-ment, PDP candidate for Jammu-Poonch Lok Sabha Yash Pal Sharma, MLC said that people of Jammu and Kashmir have realized

that National Conference is responsible for all problems they are facing today. “The response we are receiv-ing from the people during our campaign for the Lok Sabha elections is a clear indication that Jammu and Kashmir would be free from termites like National Conference after 2014 As-sembly elections”, Sharma said and attacked the ruling National Conference over corruption and for blatant-ly playing divisive politics in Jammu and Kashmir for petty political gains. “The coming Lok Sabha and Assembly elections would be proved as water-loo for National Conference

because leadership of this party has exposed before the masses”, he said and added that gone are the days when National Confer-ence leaders befooled peo-ple through their deceptive tactics. He accused the National Conference leadership of turning thick-skinned and regretted that government headed by National Con-ference was not interested in the welfare of the people and only aim of National Conference leaders serving their own personal inter-ests. “NC leaders have turned thick-skinned.

Srinagar, Dec 12 :

While the political mainstream has already appreciated the Aam Admi Party (AAP) electoral performance in Delhi, almost the entire separat-ist leadership and civil societies in Kashmir seem not to have been im-pressed by the Kejeriwal phenom-ena.Except for Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, the AAP party debut win Delhi is being termed ‘irrelevant’ as far as its role vis-à-vis the resolution of

Jammu and Kashmir is concerned.Mirwaiz had said that Kejriwal’s party must reach out to the people of Kashmir also. He had further welcomed AAP’s win“They (AAP) under Gandhian cloak, wear RSS shorts. We have seen their intentions in the past when in May this year, almost 200 families went to Delhi to protest against the human rights violations inflicted on them by the authorities but it was Kejirewal’s party that disallowed them even to speak to

Will continue efforts for internal, financial, autonomy LOLAB (KUPWARA), DECEMBER 12:

Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah Thursday said that he will continue to endeavour for the internal autonomy and financial self-reliance of the State to achieve the goal of peace and prosperity in the State. Addressing a huge public gathering at Lalpo-ra village in Lolab Constituency of Kupwara Dis-trict in North Kashmir, the Chief Minister said that gun has inflicted great injuries to the State both humanly and economically. “Our development remained stand still while other states went much ahead on road to progress during the period of militancy which gripped the

State for over 20 years”, he said and mentioned the economic disaster and loss of precious human lives caused by gun in the State. He said that his government worked sincerely and with a com-mitment to make good the losses and the damage caused by gun and put the economy back on rails. “We worked for restoration of peace and tranquillity, took sincere efforts to safeguard hu-man rights, reform the security and law and order machinery, to create employment opportunities for youth, upgrade road communication system, enhance drinking water facility and launch new power projects during the last about five years which have started encouraging results on the ground”, he said and added that the process of development would continue to be on accelerated pace. Omar Abdullah said that his party fought the elections in 2008 to address the development issues and day-to-day problems of the people and

made it clear that the contesting of elections will not amount to the resolution of all political issues confronting Jammu and Kashmir. He said be-sides devoting fullest attention on the comprehen-sive development of Jammu and Kashmir in all the regions and sub-regions equitably, we worked sincerely for creating an atmosphere where un-der political issues could be addressed politically through the process of dialogue. “We emphasized the need in this regard and extended our full sup-port and hand as a facilitator”, he said. Referring to the financial health of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah said that the total income of the State by all means is Rs. 6500 crores while the expenditure on paying salaries to gov-ernment employees alone amounts to Rs. 1350 crore annually. “In addition we have to bear loss-es on electric supply to the tune of Rs. 2000 crore and another Rs. 2000 crores are being

The family of missing youth from South Kashmir’s Jand-wal hamlet of Pulwama district Thursday alleged that nobody from Jammu and Kash-mir and Delhi Government has extended help to them in tracing out their missing son Roman Amin Ganaie. “My son Roman (16) was putting up in a rented room in Azadpur Fruit Mandi Delhi. He did not turn up to his room on Nov 20 after going to wash-

room during evening of that fateful day,” his father Mu-hammad Amin told CNS on phone from New Delhi adding that he is roaming from pillar to post to trace his son, howev-er nobody from civil and police administration is cooperating or helping him in this regard. He said it was heartening that Delhi police did not take the matter seriously even after

the family regis-tered a complaint in police station at Mehindra Park Delhi adding that Roman had ar-rived in Delhi with him to enjoy his holidays. Muhammad Amin told CNS that police did not

paid as pension to the pensioners”, he said and maintained that his government has launched a gigantic power gen-eration programme in the State to achieve financial self-reliance and provide 24x7 power supply to the people in the State. “The total energy generation since the indepen-dence to the year 2008 was of the order of 750 MWs. My government during the last about five years has given effect to the power projects of the capacity of about 1800 MWs while the edifice has already been laid for generat-ing 9000 MWs of electricity in the State during the next seven to eight years which will revolutionize the State’s financial resources”, he said. The Chief Minister said that development of back-ward and remote areas has remained under active con-sideration of the government during the last about five years and various schemes to improve and upgrade road communication, water supply, electric supply, health and education sectors received focused attention besides creating tremendous job opportunities for youth under various innovative measures. Omar said the pro-active public representatives al-ways ensure that the benefits of schemes launched in the State reach to the people timely. “They also work for getting best possible development packages for their areas”, he said. However, some he added, with-out naming PDP Legislators, indulge in politicking and forget their role to mitigate public difficulties. “The network of schemes launched, under imple-mentation and completed during the last about five years speak the sincerity and performance of the gov-ernment loudly but those who have covered their eyes with dark glasses do not want to see the achievements of the coalition government”, he said adding that the ‘Pen and Inkpot Party’ (PDP) is indulging in false propaganda against the government and criticise it on power gen-eration front. “They better reply as to how many proj-ects they started in the State during their tenure in the government?” he said and added that PDP did not even launch one power project of 1 MW capacity during its tenure in government. Omar Abdullah referring to the development initi-ated by his government in Lolab Constituency said that his government constituted Lolab-Bangus Tourism Au-thority to bring the area on tourist map of the Country and give rise to wide-ranging economic activities in the area. He said to give fillip to agriculture and horticulture sectors more than 27 irrigation schemes involving Rs. 215 crore have been launched in Lolab Constituency besides starting 59 water supply schemes at a cost of over Rs. 36 crores of which 21 one schemes have been completed and two are targeted for the current financial year.

been opened in Lolab and 130 primary schools and 11 middle schools upgraded to the next level. He said a degree college has been given to Lolab besides a University Cam-pus in Kupwara which will admit students in the coming academic session. He said 850 educated youth of Lolab have been appointed as Rehber-e-Taleem Teachers. He said he has already taken up the issue of construction of tunnel between Bandipora and Lolab with the Union Government adding that a survey project for the construction of tunnel involving about Rs. 30 crores has also been prepared for central assistance. “I am sure the project will be approved by the Union Government and the survey for the construc-tion of connecting Lolab with Bandipora will begin soon”, he said. Omar Abdullah announced a Special Sub-Division of R&B, PHE, Irrigation and Flood Control and said that all other demands of the area would be given due consider-ation by the government. The Chief Minister thanked the people for according him rousing reception at Lalpora and said that the faith reposed by people in him and in his party would give new dimension to the holistic development of the State particu-larly backward areas like Lolab. The Chief Minister on reaching Lalpora was welcomed by a large number of enthusiastic crowd who waved flags, raised slogans in his and in favour of his government and the party and showered flowers over him. The Chief Min-ister mingled with people and exchanged the wishes and pleasantries.The public meeting was also addressed by Legislator and Provincial President National Conference Kashmir, Nasir Aslam Wani, Parliament Member, Sharief-ud-Din Shariq and former Legislator Qaiser Jamsheed Lone. In their speeches they extended gratitude to the Chief Minister for his keen interest in the development of backward and far-flung areas like Lolab.

there and was sent back to Kashmir. Syed Abdul Rahman Geelani arranged the press meet for Kashmir’s human rights victims at Delhi’s press club but AAP surrounded the press club and didn’t allow the same.” Malik further men-tioned that APP might be an honest political party for their own people but for Kashmir, its agenda is ‘irrelevant.’Huriyat Conference (G) chief spokesman Ayaz Akbar stated that the national interest of all the political parties at Delhi is same vis-à-vis Kashmir and that the new parry would never accept the just struggle of the people here.”They are all one, when it comes to Kashmir and they will never accept Kash-mir as a dispute.”Dukhtaran-e-Milat chairperson Aasiya Andrabi told KNS that the national policy at Delhi will always remain same vis-à-vis Kashmir issue and that all the political parties have the same agenda for the resolution of Kashmir. “All are same for us, whether it is PDP, Congress, BJP or even AAP. Therefore the AAP win at Delhi is not even debatable.”Dr Altaf Hussian, Kashmir’s civil society member while commenting over the issue observed that the win of AAP and its debate being generated here is a ‘misplaced eupho-ria’. “No one will ever be allowed to become Kejerwal here as everyone in Kashmir is a selected one and not an elected one.” He further mentioned that the statements of some po-litical parties here about Kejerwal’s win is aimed to ‘hood-wink’ people and spread the feeler that if AAP could win in Delhi, why not a common Kashmiri.Dr Altaf stated, “The elections in Jammu and Kashmir are always rigged and manipulated. Other states can draw in-spiration from AAP but for the people of Kashmir, it will always remain irrelevant.”Professor Sheikh Showkat Husain, noted columnist and writer while commenting over the AAP wave in valley told KNS that there is a segment of people within the Kashmir society that tends to worship the rising sun and that the real-ism says that AAP win is totally irrelevant for Kashmir and its people.” You have to make difference between posture and the post. The national policy cannot be even touched even if Kejeriwal becomes Prime Minster. ““Once the Pakistan minster said that whosoever comes to power in Pakistan, three policies of the country cannot be changed. One is Kashmir, second is relations with China and the third one is nuclear weapons. In the same way there are some policies of the Indian government that cannot be even touched and one of them is the Kashmir issue,” said Professor Showkat.

the government to save the property of some influential people that comes under the proposed Boulevard road wid-ening project.The inordinate delay in implementing the project has been causing immense inconveniences to the common masses and tourists due to traffic congestion.It has been learnt that the project proposal ran into rough weather as GoI was not showing any keen interest in re-leasing the funds from the day first since J&K government approached Road Transport and Highway for funding the project.“Even J&K government was dithering to showing serious-ness over pushing the GoI for releasing the funds due to some influential people, who are creating hindrances to implement the project,” officials said.Earlier, the High Court had pulled up the state government over delay in Boulevard widening.Several PILs were also filed in the High Court pleading why the government has failed to start work on this vital road, which has been causing immense inconveniences to the common masses and tourists due to traffic congestion.Sources said the Boulevard widening project was taken up during the master plan of 1970, but nothing has been done till date.They said to save the property of some influential people, the government had earlier decided to undertake road wid-ening on the Dal Lake side. However, the government suc-cumbed to the public pressure after some environmental-ists, civil society members and the opposition PDP raised their concern, saying road widening on the Dal Lake side would prove disastrous to the water body.

feeling among NC leaders that they can befool the people at the time of elections so they are not concerned about com-mon masses”, Sharma said, adding, “They have turned arrogant. This arrogance and nepotism of NC leaders is eating into the State like termite,” Mr Sharma predicts 2014 as the year of PDP’s triumph and success. He lambasted those who have been brazenly trying to befool the people by making false promises. Speaking on the occasion former Ra-jya Sabha member and vice president of PDP, Trilok Singh Bajwa lashed out at the National Conference for making false promises of providing employment to the youth. “Educated unemployed youth are worst victims of the wrong policies being pursued by this regime”, he said. While reminding the gathering about promises which were made by the rul-ing National Conference during 2008 Assembly elections, Mr Bajwa rued that not even a single promise has been fulfilled during the last five years. “Except exploiting sentiments of the people nothing has been done during the last five years to ameliorate lot of the common masses”,

of Jammu and Kashmir in New Delhi but they are showing cold response. Police has done nothing except registering an FIR vide number 374/2013,” he said. When contacted, Investigating Officer Om Veer told CNS that they are looking for the missing youth everywhere and hopefully, “we will trace him. Police is doing its job and the family should repose faith in us,” he said.

continue to be there. “Besides that the motor vehicles department, police department, health services have been exempted from these orders. But they too can use the red lights while on duty and no red light will be used off duty,” Mr Baghat told KNS. Meanwhile, the divisional commissioner Kashmir Sah-lindera Kumar on Thursday said that he has written to the transport department to issue an order in this regard. “I have written to the transport department and hope that the Supreme Court orders will be implemented in day or two,” the divisional commissioner told KNS.On the other, a day after DGP Ashok Prasad removed the red light from his official vehicle in compliance to the Su-preme Court ruling; almost all the senior police officers have removed the red lights from their official vehicles.The Supreme Court had on Tuesday said red beacons could be used only on vehicles of high constitutional dig-nitaries and blue or multicoloured lights should be used only on emergency services and police vehicles.Apex Court’s directive on the use of red beacons would be implemented in letter and spirit by Jammu & Kash-mir Police, Mr Prasad had told reporters in Jammu on Wednesday.

I directed my team to open its siren and let the vehicle go. The whole process took five minutes and the vehicle was al-lowed to go. Otherwise, I was well within my powers to seize the vehicle,” Mr Khan told KNS. The Mobile Magistrate North Kashmir also clarified that the checking at Seelu was not conducted by the traffic police but by his team. “The traffic department has been unneces-sarily been dragged into this issue. It was me who was con-ducting on road checking at Seelu.”

The mother of three years old kid Aqib Hamid Mir told CNS that a Tata Mobile van that was driven by one Bilal Ahmed Ganaie son of Muhammad Shafi resident of Ar-ampora Sumbal hit her son and injured him seriously. “My son has lost both the legs while the doctors at SKIMS told us that it will incur at least Rs 3 lakh for his treat-ment,” she said adding irony is that police did not even arrest the erring driver.

The mother of the injured kid said that a top police official informed them a political leader does not want any action should be initiated against the erring driver. “Police neither arrested him nor seized his vehicle,” she said. Terming the allegations baseless, SDPO Sumbal Irshad Ahmed told CNS that police not only seized the Tata Mobile van but also arrested the erring driver. “We registered a case vide FIR number 206/2013 under section 279 and 337 of RPC. The accused has been bailed out while the Court ordered the release of vehicle today,” SDPO said adding that they will soon file a challan regarding this case in the court of law.

Girdhari Lal Dogra remembered

Feed your mind today, Libra. The day’s energy supports growth and expansion, so why not see about learning about something you’re interested in? Challenge yourself by read-ing or taking a class. There are plenty of online subjects to engage you. Find something that interests you that you can do in your own time.

You’re more into socializing today than anything else, Scorpio. This could be great providing you don’t have a heavy workload. See who’s available and go for it. If you need to get something done, you’ll have to resist the temptation to chat too long. Use breaks for this and keep your focus on getting done what you’ve taken on. There’s always the evening to get together with friends.

You may find it hard to admit that you can’t do everything, Sagittarius. There are some jobs that you aren’t cut out to do. Why pretend when a better option would be to delegate the task to someone else? If you don’t feel a strong connection with something or someone, don’t force it. Pretending that you’re capable of something will only cause frustration for you and everyone else.

Don’t be surprised if you’re pensive, Capricorn. It’s one of those days when daydreaming can happen more readily. Your imagination may also be at a peak. Rather than fighting this so you can be more productive, jot your ideas down. It may be to your advantage, as better and innovative ways of doing things can pop into your mind. Take time to ponder. It can bring great results.

Chatting with your loved ones may be more appealing to you today than any other day, Aquarius. It may be important to curb this desire if there are many things that need your attention. If you’re at home, don’t spend all your time on the phone or loafing. Consider tending first to things that need to get done. Socializing will be far more enjoyable without guilty feelings about what you should be doing.

Pisces, you can expect to feel a little more energetic to-day. In fact, you may run circles around everyone. What a great way to start the day. Head out with the confidence that you can easily handle anything that comes your way. Take time to enjoy the company of others as much as possible. If there are meetings on the agenda, handle them right away.

Today may be a time of heightened reasoning and judg-ment for you, Virgo. What a great way to get things done! Pull out unfinished projects and get going. Tackle issues or problems that have surfaced recently by facing them di-rectly. Make the most of this day’s energy by thinking about ways to do things more efficiently. Be confident that you can handle anything.

You might feel like doing something different today, Ar-ies. Everyone needs a break from the regular grind and this is a good time to try something new. Perhaps you feel like vary-ing your routine. If this is your day off, you might spend the day doing whatever strikes your fancy. Try a new wardrobe style. Go to a movie. Do something to spice up your life today.

Start your day writing in a journal, Taurus. This provides an avenue to communicate and connect with your inner be-ing. Things you need to do, ambitions, and even challenges can appear while you’re writing, providing a map that you can follow. Even if starting is difficult, stick with it. The words will come if you give it a chance. It can make your day much easier.

You might find it hard to get going, Gemini. Taking di-rection could rub you the wrong way, especially if you’re set on doing something different. Communicate your ideas and how you want to approach things rather than let irritation get to you. Your approach will be better received if you leave emotions out of it. You may even get kudos for staying calm and collected.

You might feel cheerful and generous today, Cancer. Helping others will probably suit you, and matters will move along smoothly. If there are outstanding projects from ear-lier, tackle them first. It’s an opportune time to get caught up on challenges. Don’t hesitate to lend a hand if you’re ap-proached or notice someone in need. This will benefit them as well as you.

Make an effort to connect with someone you miss today, Leo. Even if it feels painful at first, you’ll feel a lot better once you do. Pick up the phone, write a note, or send an email. Let the person know you miss and care about him or her. Expressing yourself is often far better than stuffing your feel-ings. The person may be missing you just as much.
