Wagah, December 24:

India and Pakistan on Tuesday decided to strengthen existing mechanisms to maintain the truce along the LoC, months af-ter bilateral ties nosedived over

the killing of five Indian soldiers and flare-ups between the two sides on the ceasefire line.The agreement came at a meeting of the Directors General of Mili-

tary Operations (DGMOs) of the two sides, who held face-to-face talks for the first time in 14 years at the Wagah border. “We had a cordial, constructive and fruitful meeting. We dis-cussed the ceasefire along the

Line of Control (LoC) and the existing mechanisms,” DGMO Lt Gen Vinod Bhatia said after the two-hour-long talks with his Pakistani counterpart Maj Gen

Aamer Riaz on Tuesday. “We both decided to ensure ceasefire and strengthen the ex-isting mechanisms.” The meet-ing was an outcome of talks between Prime Ministers Man-mohan Singh and Nawaz Sharif in New York in September at the height of tensions triggered by the LoC flare-ups. The premiers had decided the DGMOs should hold talks to reduce tensions but the meeting could not be sched-uled till now, over which Singh had even expressed disappoint-ment with Sharif. Besides the DGMOs, a brigadier and three lieutenant colonels from both sides took part in the talks. The Pakistani military released pho-tos of Riaz receiving Bhatia at the border and a picture of the meeting. A Pakistani military statement issued earlier said the decision to hold the meeting of the DGMOs was made at the political level. Besides tensions on the Line of Control (LoC), the DGMOs were expected to discuss matters related to the interna-tional boundary with a focus on maintaining the 2003 ceasefire and ensuring normalcy,

Mehbooba condemns ‘repression’ in Palhalan

Srinagar, Dec 24 :

Terming the continuous state repression in Palha-lan as unwarranted Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti has said brute force has become the only weapon before the rul-ers to muzzle the voices of people.In a state-ment issued to KNS, she expressed her concern over the continu-ous harassment of youth by police and other security agencies that has resulted in a fear psychosis like situ-ation in the entire habita-tion. She said the people in the village have been de-liberately forced to live the life under constant siege for a quite long time now, and

it speaks hard about the in-sensitivity of the rulers and the cruelty they resort to.Mehbooba said it was sense-less approach of the govern-ment, which has left the people in the area agitated and the coercive measures

resorted to by the rulers in an unsuccessful effort to quell the dissent has vitiated the whole atmo-sphere there, instead of solv-ing the issues.

She said the government has not been allowing any economic activity happen-ing in Palhalan and the young boys have been again forced to go underground to escape the wrath of security forces.Demanding complete with-drawal of forces fromSee Mehbooba on pg 11

From our special correspondent

Srinagar, 24 December: It is strange that de-spite the huge public outcry the state govern-ment is watching the things like a silent spec-tator and has not initiated any action from its side to see the verbosity of the allegations lev-eled against three private companies namely Kanwal Masala, Khyber milk and Awon Greens. The honorable high court of Jam-mu and Kashmir once again has come with a landmark interim order asking the three companies to deposit ten crore rupees each with SKIMS within a week. The order clearly shows how the honorable court is concerned about the health of common people who are consuming the spices and if the allegations are correct can be put to a great risk includ-

ing the risk of dreaded diseases like cancer. The honorable court has a history of deliv-ering landmark decisions in the public in-terest cases involving the overall welfare of the society. The honorable Supreme Court in the month of December itself had observed in a milk adulteration case that the offence should be made punishable with life impris-onment. Asking the states to make more stringent the law to deal with production and sale of milk which is harmful to human be-ings, the court observed that the maximum punishment of six months for such offences under the food safety and standards act was grossly inadequate. Hearing a public suit by Haridwar based swami Achyutanand which said samples collected by the food safety and standards authority of India in 2011 revealed

large scale sale of adulterated milk across the country. The division bench consisting of Justice K.s. Radakrishnan and Justice A.K. Sikri seeking the details of prosecution launched in the cases of milk adulteration having synthetic material and the number of convictions, the court said though every year thousands of tones of sweets are ceased and destroyed during festive seasons of Diwali and Holi, they are not accompanied with pros-ecution of those involved in making and sell-ing adulterated sweets. Justice Radhakrish-nan observed,” Without a drop of milk, they can make milk. On paper every thing is good but ground reality is different” observed jus-tice Sikri saying that the bench was not hap-py with the details provided in the affidavits. The courts have always come with a heavy

hand and even recommended the legislature the quantum of punishment but it is really astonishing that neither the legislature nor the executive go all out against this crime which creates the worst dangers for human lives. In the present case of Kanwal Masala, toned Khyber milk and Awon Agro products the state government has not even issued an official statement to the media indicating its intentions about the action which is warrant-ed in such cases. If these three private con-cerns have managed to get some certificates from the private laboratories the credentials of those laboratories need to be ascertained as according to the health officer of Srinagar Municipal Corporation the Calcutta based national testing Laboratory is

Scores of residents from Pantachowk Sri-nagar Tuesday staged a protest against State Government for not airlifting bod-ies of three persons of a single family who were killed in a road mishap in the Warwan Valley of Kishtwar district on Sunday night. At least 10 labour-erswere killed when a vehicle engaged by the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) rolled down into the 1300 feet deep gorge around mid-night due to dense fog and heavy snowfall.

The protestors refuted those media reports in which Gov-ernment had claimed that it is trying all possible means to send the dead bodies to their native areas “I lost my father, uncle and cousin in that accident.

the final authority in ascertaining the purity of food items. The government should have also come with a policy wherein the measures to curb such men-ace could have been made easy which in turn would have increased the credibility of the government. It is strange that department of food, drug controller, agri-culture or horticulture who one way or the other are connected with spurious drugs, spurious pesticides and adulterated food items too are not breaking their silence. As it is a public interest case involving the health of lakhs of people, the honorable courts alone cannot do everything. It needs public awareness and government actions to stop adulteration if any found in the products of these companies. The civil society has also its role to play in creating awareness amongst the consumers about the substandard products pushed in the market and persuade them to use minimum spices as even otherwise some spices are carrying tartazine colour which is very harmful for the human health. It is also strange that the separatists who do not miss =even a single opportunity to issue their statements on petty matters and start taking out processions have so far given their company to the government and no statement has come from their side. In fact the ques-tion of adulterated spices, spurious drugs and spurious pesticides is not the question of one person or a group of persons; it is the question of the whole society as ev-erybody is affected in one way or the other. There is a need to stand together and persuade and pressurize the government to take stern action against all those private producers who indulge in such a crime but not before they are also heard and given the opportunity to prove their innocence. The local media should also leave the petty interests aside and exhibit their respon-sibilities towards the society.

the statement said on Tuesday. Five Indian soldiers were killed in an attack by Pakistani troops along the LoC in August while two more were killed in January. Both sides also repeatedly accused each other of violat-ing the ceasefire on the LoC. The DGMOs last met 14 years ago after the Kargil con-flict of 1999. They usually talk once a week on a hotline. India is believed to have forcefully conveyed to Paki-stan the importance of maintaining the ceasefire on the LoC. Pakistani media reports said Islamabad was expected to seek a larger role for UN military observ-ers deployed along the ceasefire line. The UN Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) was established in 1949 under a resolution passed by the Security Council to monitor the LoC. Pakistan ini-tially proposed to include Foreign Ministry officials in the meeting of the DGMOs but India rejected the move.

Pakistan’s Foreign Office said last week that the pro-posal for including diplomats in such meetings was “still on the table”.

Omar is a Pakistani national, while Reyaz is a Budgam resident.Though the forces intensified the searches in the vil-lage, the militants, sources said, have managed to es-cape.

The protestors including wailing women alleged that they were forcibly vacated by police when they staged a peaceful protest outside the Gupkar residence of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. When contacted a top official told CNS that the bodies of all the deceased persons have been kept at PHC Afti and a message has been forwarded to concerned authorities for air-lifting the bodies to their native places. The official however added that weather conditions in the area were not favorable for pressing a helicopter into service and so the process may take some time.

highway was closed on past Saturday following heavy snow-fall at Banihal Tunnel and Pantitop. A traffic police official told CNS that BECON cleared the road at 11 and the stranded vehicles were allowed to move towards Jammu. He said that there were traffic jams due to anti-PDD demonstrations at various places on Highway. “After two days of its closure due to heavy snowfall, the Srinagar-Jammu highway,the only surface link between Kashmir and rest of the world opened for vehicular traf-fic on Tuesday afternoon, leading to clearance hundreds of stranded vehicles,” he said. The traffic official said subject to fair weather conditions, traffic along the highway would move from Srinagar to-wards Jammu side on Wednesday. He further said that more than 4000 vehicles, including both passenger and goods-vehicles, crossed the Jawahar Tunnel and reached to Jammu on Tuesday. The highway was closed on Saturday evening in the wake of heavy snowfall which triggered mudslides and shooting stones at many places along the 300-km road.

absolutely no change in the schedule and the metered and non-metered areas have to wait till March next year.”Commenting over the present power crises in valley, PDD chief said that the supply has increased many a times but the load shedding in several areas across valley is compel-ling the department to go for more power cuts. “We have the supply of 1200 megawatts but at the same time we have more than 1500 megawatts being consumed.”Khan further remarked that the protests in several areas against the power crises was due to over loading in the respective areas and that the department has taken nec-essary action so that the losses could be mitigated. “We have issued additional transformer to Bemina area and the same is being done in Awantipora area. I appeal people that to consume power economically.”NC additional general secretary Dr Mustafa Kamal, when asked to comment on the PDD notice issued to his party headquarter, said: “We respect the law of land. Whatever dues are pending against our party headquarters will be paid in due time. Maybe there were some lapses from both sides but we will plead our case accordingly. We will check why we have not been able to pay dues this year when we have never been defaulter of the PDD in last 35 years.”

cuts especially during late evening and night hours, our children cannot concentrate on their studies,” local resident Shafat Ahmad said.“The students go to tuitions in day time. It is only during eve-ning that they get time to study but due to power cuts they are not able to do so”, he added while demanding from the PDD to ensure regular power supply, particularly during evening and night. Another protester told KNS that every family cannot afford inverters or other related items and it is only regular sup-ply of electricity which can be helpful to us. “Power cuts especially late evening cuts also encourage anti-social and criminal elements. High claims of ensuring regular supply in metered areas are nowhere visible on ground,” he said. Meanwhile,the unavailability of electricity triggered off massive protests in Awantipora area of south Kashmir An-antnag district on Tuesday. Reports reaching Global News Service said that early morning hundreds of residents of Hari Parigam, Bucchoo, Kaigam, Chachkoot converged at Awantipora Chowk, where they staged demonstrations against the PDD. The protesters said they were reeling under complete darkness from last 15 days due to unavailability of electricity. The protesters also blocked Srinagar-Jammu na-tional highway to gain the attraction of the officials.The traffic jam remained for several hours from Kaigam to Pujgund causing disruption in the smooth flow of traffic. Later, the protesters dispersed peacefully after the officials

assured to restore power facility at the earliest.“For last 15 days, we’re without electricity. The unavail-ability of electricity also affects the water supply to the villages. In harsh winters, we have to fetch water from streams. We’re facing a lot of inconvenience,” Ghulam Rasool, a protester said. He urged the Chief Minister to up-grade the receiving situation so that the power woes end and the people heave a sigh of relief.
