Malik castigates Pak over remaining silent over Kashmir Srinagar, Dec 29: “Kashmir should be the core issue and a priority in India-Pakistan dialogue,” underlined the resolution passed by Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, bar association, trade unions, religious organizations and the civil society in a seminar organized by the JKLF here on Sunday. According to KNS correspondent, during the seminar titled “Indo-Pak relations and Jammu and Kashmir”, Mohammad Yasin Malik, chairman JKLF, said Kashmir leadership should not give any priority to the dialogue with India at present and should rather concentrate on Pakistan so that Kashmir issue could get resolved at the earliest. “The pro-Pakistan political parties here must come forward and urge Pakistan to keep the resolution of Kashmir issue on priority during the Indo-Pak talks. We see that during the Indo-Pak dialogue, they discuss everything including trade and culture but Kashmir and its people have always been forgotten during these meets. ”

Khyber, Kanwal start a vigorous publicity campaign Fourth pillar toes to the line, what then if allegations prove correct From our special correspondent Srinagar, Dec 29: The two private companies Khyber Agro Farms Private Limited and Kanwal Masala which are under scanner and whose samples of toned milk and saunf have been declared adulterated by Calcutta based National Food Testing Laboratory are leaving no stone unturned to prove their innocence. Though the Hon’ble High Court has in its interim order recently directed the three companies, Khyber Milk, Kanwal Masala and Avon Agro to deposit ten crore rupees each, which can be viewed that there is some substance in the allegations, still the companies in question are spending huge amounts for their vigorous publicity campaign, launched in the local
press which is falling in their trap ignoring their social responsibilities and keeping in mind only some materialistic benefits. The fourth pillar of democracy perhaps forgets that it is its moral and ethical duty to raise its voice against such heinous crimes which can cause enormous damages to the public health and use its tools to create awareness against such a menace. The scribes should distance themselves from such a publicity campaign which may have been launched to detract the attention of the general masses from the allegations, so that these companies can sell their products in whatever way they want ignoring all the risks and dangers, they allegedly are causing for human lives. In a recent direction of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in which a Di-
vision bench asked the governments to make adulteration of milk a crime which can attract punishment for life term should be an eye opener for the media in these cases like these. The Supreme Court’s observations that “they make milk even without a drop of milk” should be viewed seriously and one should foresee the risks and dangers of such milk and spices. The recent press reports that the Health Officer who has exposed the adulterated milk and spices apprehends danger to his life should also not be dismissed and taken lightly. Zabarwan Times talked to a varied section of the society who expressed their dismay and anger over the govts. mysterious silence and said that the present coalition govt. is not bothered about the health
Sagar dedicates renovated halls at Naqashband Sahib (RA) Shrine to public Srinagar, Dec 29: The Minister for Rural Development and Panchayati Raj, Mr. Ali Mohammad Sagar today dedicated to the public and devotees the newly renovated and expanded halls of Khawaja Naqashband Sahib (RA) Shrine constructed with an estimated cost of Rs. 3.75 crores. Vice Chairman Waqf Board, Mr. M.Y. Qadri and other senior officers of different departments like JKPCC, R&B were present on the occasion. While speaking on the occasion, the Minister said that the expansion programme of the Shrine has been undertaken strictly on the existing patterns of the architecture and for the general convenience of the devo-
Massive protest demonstrations continued on third consecutive day on Sunday in Wagoora area of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district against tehsil status granted to its adjoining village Kreeri. According to KNS correspondent, people including women and children assembled in Wagoora chowk early in the morning demanding revocation of the Government order. “Our protest will continue till the government revokes its order. Government has ignored the report of its cabinet sub-committee which had approved Tehsil headquarter status to Wagoora,” Muhammad Yaqoub
of the people at all. They alleged that petty political interests are dearer to it than the health of the general public. The opposition has also not proved different. The major opposition party of the state, PDP too has continuously been silent and unlike BoPEE case, they are following the footsteps of coalition govt. When contacted the chief spokesperson of the PDP Naeem Akhter said that he is out of station but added that what will he say in a state where even murderers get scotfree. He however said that the law should take its own course. A journalist Mukhtar Ahmad of Ganderbal said that it is better to avoid using Masala than to expect that if it is adulterated any action will be taken against the influential people.

tees coming to pay obeisance at the Shrine. Mr. Sagar directed the JKPCC to carry on the further expansion and beautification of the main Shrine as well so that it is preserved for the posterity and the devotees also do not face any inconvenience. He also directed the concerned officers to undertake the acquisition of the structures around the Shrine and also provide adequate compensation to the persons whose
Wani, an inhabitant of Wagoora and a senior political activist told reporters. To decide the location of Tehsil headquarter, the State Government in 2007 constituted a cabinet-subcommittee headed by then deputy chief minister Mangat Ram Sharma, with cabinet ministers Nawang Rigzin Jora, Hakim Muhammad Yasin and Qazi Muhammad Afzal as members. The protesting inhabitants said the subcommittee in its report decided to establish the Tehsil headquarter at Wagoora, which fulfills all requirements for being granted Tehsil as Naib-Tehsil office, Block Development Office and other See Wagoora on Pg. 7
structures have been acquired. It is pertinent to mention that under expansion and renovation of the Naqashband Sahib Shrine an amount of Rs. 25 crore has been earmarked, which would cater to the restoration of the existing Shrine as well as the beautification of the same. An Auditorium and a Community Hall would also be constructed adjacent to the main Shrine under the programme.
Lambasting Omar Abdullah led coalition for betraying every sections of the society in its five year tenure, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today observed that educated youth are the worst victims of the wrong policies being propagated by the youth Chief Minister. Addressing a meeting of the prominent leaders of the youth and student wings of the party here today, patron of PDP Mufti Mohammad Sayeed said that all promises made by the National Conference during the last Assembly elections remained only on papers. “Instead of fulfilling the commitment which the NC had made with the people during assembly elections, this government has been
deceiving the people by making false statements”, he said and dubbed the much touted employment and welfare policy as “cruel joke” with the educated unemployed youth of the State to befool the youth. Mufti said that the youth of the State deserved better than the faulty employment and welfare policy of the Government but during the last five years nothing concrete has been done. He said that employment policy of the state government has failed to yield any result. Assailing the government for betraying unemployed educated youth, Mufti regretted that during the last five years government has brazenly auctioned govern-

tutor and a reasonable teacher student ratio in the classes.

It was decided in the meeting that ten days dead line will be given to Coaching Centres Association to register themselves with the district administration.

ment jobs to deprive meritorious and deserving candidates and to adjust only undeserving candidates in lieu of money. “Only noticeable achievement of Omar Abdullah government is auctioning government jobs in open market”, he said and pointed out that from MLCs to Class –IV employees everything is on sale under National Conference led coalition regime. While pointing towards recent exposure of scam in Board for Professional Entrance Examination (BOPEE), Mufti rued that during the last five sanctity of every institutions-from Assembly to BOPEE, has been systematically eroded by cor-
rupt and illegal means. He said that it was result of the misdeeds of Omar Abdullah government that people have lost faith on institutions. He availed this opportunity to remind the youth leader that during PDP led government recruitment process was institutionalized to ensure accountability and transparency. He mentioned that more than 80,000 Rehbar-e-Talim (ReT) teachers were appointed. Similarly more than 40000 Anganwari workers were also appointed but not even a single case of favourtism and nepotism was highlighted. “We institutionalized the recruitment process to ensure that only deserving and meritorious candidate should be recruited”, he said.

Kargil a new destination for Solar SPV Shotopa Kargil, Dec 29: Kargil will generate 33,000 Mega Watt of electricity from Solar SPV according to the master plan of KREDA (Kargil Renewable Energy Development Agency) and is generating more than 2 Megawatt from Solar SPV. Kargil Renewable Energy Development Agency (KREDA) a registered agency (Reg. No 5909-S-2010) under the Govt. of Jammu and Kashmir Society Registration Act 1999, works with the objectives of promoting and accelerating the pace of utilization of hydro, solar and wind energy and meeting the power requirements in Kargil-Ladakh. The Agency was established after the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Govt of India (MNRE) sanctioned a special fund of Rs 260 Crore in the year 2010 and has been assigned vari-
ous renewable energy based schemes like Micro/Mini/ Small Hydel Project, Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) System and other Solar Thermal Systems etc., as part of its Ladakh Renewable Energy Initiative of Rs 500 Crore. KREDA is working broadly under the four main units i.e. Hydro, Solar, Wind and Thermal, to achieve a remarkable growth in the contribution of renewable energy in the District. The Main objective of the Agency is to familiarize the mass with varied aspects of Renewable Energy, To create awareness about Renewable Energy (Solar, Hydel, Wind etc.), Electrifying non-electrified villages, Minimizing the use of diesel and kerosene as much as possible, Promote commercial exploitation of know how, Promote development and commercialization of renewable sources of See Kargil on Pg. 7

people are highly connected. He asked what action has been taken against those involved in illegal constructions in Sonamarg which are totally violative of Sonamarg Master Plan. He said that all and sundry including politicians, bureaucrats and even journalists are involved, but who cares, he asked. It is really strange in this part of the country that everything is being hushed up after some days and nobody remembers as to what happened a few days back. It is not that these companies which are allegedly responsible for the adulteration should not be allowed to prove their innocence and should not be heard but it should have been a usual practice in a civilized society to stop their publicity till they prove their innocence if not banned till that time. Why should they be allowed to continue with an intense publicity campaign and what if the allegation levelled against them are proved correct later. It means that the lives and health of the people is being kept at their mercy and nobody including the 4th pillar of the society cares. The local press should recall an incident of baby milk adulteration which came to fore in china. The press boycotted the publicity and the govt. banned the company till a thorough enquiry was launched against the company. Has the govt. took any action in this case and has it withdrawn the products found adulterated from the market and has it banned their production till the case is settled and their involvement or innocence is proved. Nothing has been done and everybody in the govt. including the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah who tweets on everything is watching like a mute spectator. What a govt, what a society and what a 4th pillar.
Azad.......
The Union Minister said the Centre has doubled the allocation to State under Health sector and it has reached Rs. 424 crore from the previous allocation of Rs. 212 crore. The aim, he said, is to strengthen the primary healthcare base by opening more centres and equipping them with more and more facilities. Deputy Commissioner, Anantnag, Dr. Farooq Ahmad Lone, Chief Medical Officer, Anantnag and other officers of District administration accompanied the Union Minister during the visit.
Congress........
Congress that has been plagued by factional feud during the last about three years. According to these reports, the party high command swung into action for ending factionalism in the Congress unit in Jammu and Kashmir after it was mauled during the recent Assembly elections in four states. What seems to have motivated the party high command to motivate Soz and Azad to join hands was its rout in Delhi Assembly election where it has been in power for the last 15 years. The Congress had won eight seats and the defeat of Sheila Dixit, who remained Chief Minister of Delhi for 15 years, in the election by a political novice, Arvind Kejriwal rattled the Congress high command. Reports said that as a result of fresh warning from the party high command to Soz and Azad to work together the two were seen addressing a party rally in south Kashmir the other day. According to these reports, Azad has been advised to spend more time on interacting with party workers and people in various Assembly constituencies in Jammu and Kashmir in order to keep the Congress vote bank in tact. Indications are that during the ensuing Lok Sabha election and during the Assembly poll Azad may be entrusted with the task of galvanizing the party cadre for wooing voters. However, while doing so he will have to carry Saif-ud-Din Soz with him. Inside reports said that the party high command had been told by some senior Congress leaders from Jammu and Kashmir that the problem of conflict between the loyaliosts and the dissidents could be checked simply by bringing about unity between Soz and Azad.Those who had given this suggestion to the AICC leadership had stated that warring Soz and Azad had already led to intensification of groupism. Hence the party high command made it clear to Soz and Azad to unite in the interests of party’s future.

and former Minister Sardar Rangil Singh while speaking on the occasion, said that this regime has ditched educated unemployed youth by encouraging backdoor appointments. He exhorted the youth to oppose wrong policies of this regime. Waheed-ur-Rehman Para, in charge of the party’s state youth wing, in his address, said that educated youth in the State have become victims of the rampant corruption in the state. He pointed out that educated youth have been agitating in every corner of the state for employment but the government doesn’t have any policy for them.

energy, Promote development and commercialization of agriculture (through greenhouses) and to Develop and strengthen the facilities and capabilities; evolve strategies; and undertake human resource development programmes to build a sustainable economy in whole Ladakh. The northern part of the subcontinent, especially the Ladakh region, is blessed with an abundance of sunlight and high solar radiation. Harnessing solar energy into consumable electricity is highly effective and useful. Achievements of KREDA in the First Phase is in the field of Solar as the Agency has installation of Solar Power Plant of 25 to 65 Kw in 22 villages of Kargil and the whole Lunganak Block of 26 villages in Zanskar Sub dvision and some in other blocks has been lighten up by Solar Home Lighting due to which these villages has got lighting from the Sun even during night. State Minister for Science and Information Technology, Medical Education, School Education, Youth Service and Sports Feroz Ahmad Khan, while talking to All India Radio told that Photovoltaic systems convert sunlight into electricity. A small solar photovoltaic system can be a reliable and pollution free producer of electricity. Presently
Daily there are around 157 villages in Kargil-Ladakh, out of which only 97 villages are electrified (95% through DG Sets). There are mainly two power stations one small hydro (Iqbal Project) with an installed capacity of 3.75MW and one DG station with 4MW capacity that supplies electricity to the main town of Kargil-Ladakh and villages nearby. There are also two numbers of mini hydroelectric power units and some DG sets (with capacity ranging from 50-750 KVa) mostly installed in the progressive villages. Feroz Khan told that the Aency has completed Solar power plants which are generating some 2.5 megawatt Electricity and which is helping the Distirct Administration to save 40 Lakh Rupees annually. He told that because of the scattered nature of the villages there is a huge problem with distribution and transmission through power grid systems. The transmission lines are very long resulting in poor voltage regulation and high distribution losses and also it requires huge capital investment which is financially not feasible. Therefore KREDA is concentrating on decentralized power generation policy, which would be the best alternative for such rural and far-flung areas/villages of Kargil-Ladakh. Kacho Ahmad Khan Project Coordinator KRDEDA told that during the period KREDA has established 22 SPV Power Plants in various villages of the district. In these villages, apart from solar energy, no other viable resource, renewable or otherwise, is available. Before the intervention of KREDA the villagers were receiving electricity from their respective DG sets. The 10 SPV Power Plants of 40KWp capacity are installed in the villages of Tsazar, Saliskot, Shakar Amzet, Khangral, Lhalung, Barchey, Yurbaltak, Goshan, Pandrass and Gindyal. Among them Tsazar (Zanskar) was an un-electrified village. The two main objectives of the agency in installing these power plants are firstly to minimize the diesel consumption in same villages and secondly to supply these villages with an uninterrupted power supply. Two Army establishments and nearly 64 institutions which had already been listed to be electrified through solar energy by this agency. So far almost at five sites (villages) the SPV Power plants has been installed & commissioned in 2011 and the civil works at various villages and institutions at 18 sites has been completed. It is expected that all SPV Power Plants has been completed by August 2012. He told that the average number of households in each village covered under the SPV Power Plant is around 100 (i.e. 100x10=1000 households in total approx.). Although the SPV power plants have not yet replaced the DG sets completely, they have at least freed the villages from the problem of frequent breakdown of electricity, especially during the harsh winter months. The project was successfully conceived and implemented by KREDA with technical support from TATA BP Solar India Ltd. The executing agency completed the installation of the plant equipment in the month of October-November 2010. Meetings were held with beneficiaries at the time of project design documentation; it was headed by the councilors and Sarpanchs. The villagers are also the active participants in the project activities, be its operation, maintenance or MOU related any other formality. The power plant, after handed over by KREDA to the villagers, will be run and maintained by the Electricity Management Committee. Renewable energy is certainly a carbon free, inexhaustible and abundant source of energy. It is derived from sources such as Sun, Wind, and Water etc. It should be noted that a variety of situations will be encountered while planning the layout of renewable energy plants (physical, social, administrative, economic etc.). But once such a plant is installed it can effectively contribute to combating climate change while at the same time providing various environmental, social and economic benefits. Kacho Ahmad Khan further added that KREDA has a future plan of generating 33,000 Megawatt of Electrcity from Solar SPV and has submitted the Project with the Government. The agency will utilize all the barren south faced lands to install solar panel and even the road sides will be utilized under this plan and will try to make Kargil as one of the main supplier of Electricity in J&K. But this will become true only when Kargil is connected with the Northern Grid after the Execution of the Rs 1800 Crores Transmission line Project Connecting Srinagar Kargil Leh. Besides SPV the Agency is helping the people to use Solar Power by using Solar Water Heater, Solar Cooking Equipments, by Constructing Solar Passive House, Solar Green House and Solar Home Lighting and is providing Subsidies on these equipments.

Wagoora..........
top administrative units are already in place at Wagoora. Abdul Majeed, a protestor told KNS correspondent that the officials of revenue department last week issued the order to post Tehsildar at Kreeri without considering the cabinet sub-committee report. The order irked the inhabitants of Wagoora area who are protesting for past three days demanding the revocation of the order. Protesters burnt effigies of the local MLA and chanted slogans against the Revenue department officials. They have been trying to block the Baramulla-Srinagar national highway but police and CRPF personnel using tear smoke canisters are chasing them away. At-least, 54 villages of Sangrama constituency are demanding Tehsil status to Wagoora due to its central location in the area with opposition from four villages, Wani said. At-least 13 persons including four women were injured on Saturday after police allegedly resorted to unprovoked teargas shelling on peaceful protests. Meanwhile, Awami Ittihaad Party (AIP) president Engineer Rashid condemned use of force against protesters at Wagura.
In a statement issued here he condemned use of force against innocent protesters at Wagura and asked Government to show maximum possible restrain. He said, “Government and other political parties should not try to politicize the issue as it will create further gap, distrust and division between the inhabitants of the area. It will be proper for the Government to constitute a commission that must comprise of neutral officials and should give a patient hearing to the concerned parties before reaching to any final conclusion.” He cautioned Government of many further conflicts in near future over the creation of new administrative units in the State, if major political parties and other stake holders do not restrain from politicizing and personalizing these issues of sensitive nature.
Govt committed to provide basic amenities to people at their door steps: Gurezi Jammu, December 29: Minister of State for PHE, Irrigation and Flood Control, Mr. Nazir Ahmed Gurezi has said that the Government is committed to provide all basic amenities to the people of all the three regions of the State especially the people living in far-flung and hilly areas.
