Early Times Report
jammu, Oct 30: PM Narendra Modi on Sunday did a great service to the nation by saying that had Sardar Patel been the first Prime Minister of India, there would have been no Kashmir problem.

A reference to just one instance in this regard would be enough to demonstrate the damage that Nehru did to India and the polity. The case in point is Jammu & Kashmir. There were 560-odd Princely States in India whose political future was to be determined in the wake of the Congress' unstinted support to the Muslim League's demand seeking a communal partition of the B... | |

Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Oct 30: Some of the orders issued by government departments in Jammu & Kashmir seem to be mindless with the application of 'brain' missing in issuance of such orders.

The enhancement of timing in Jammu can be understood, but enhancing the same in Kashmir in winter is somewhat perplexing.
As the winter has already set in and the days are short increasing the timing of government offices by half an hour in Kashmir is mind boggling and no less th... | |
