| Food for thought: Now, bias against Jammu in ration supply | | Region gets 1792 quintal sugar less than Valley every month | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 2: At a time when the state government is exhibiting generosity in distribution of additional sugar in the state, the discrimination meted out to Jammu region in different sectors could be found wide and open here as well.
The government's very own data reveals how the Kashmir valley is being given undue preference over the Jammu region, with even the distribution of ration meeting the ruthless discrimination without any remorse.
The government on June 1 announced amid much fanfare that the people of the state would get additional 1kg of sugar every month as a good will gesture from the Chief Minister. However, the government itself was seen spilling the beans as it stated that the Jammu division of the state would get 1792 quintals of sugar less than Kashmir.
Furthermore, the details reveal that out of the 27,22,000 families of the state who would be benefited , 14,50,600 families hail from the Kashmir division while as there are mere 12,71,400 families in Jammu division which will get benefited from the scheme. Here again the discrimination is... | |

Early Times Report
Jammu, June 2: The PDP-BJP coalition government in J&K, which is in its fourth year now, has badly failed to address the growing unemployment in the state.
In their pre-poll manifestos, and also in their so-called Agenda of Alliance, both the alliance partners had announced to take the issue of unemployment as a priority task.
Private companies take the advantage of unemployment and give jobs to the educated and unemployed youth against a paltry salary, hitting the morale of the educated youths. Ranjit, who works in a private company, lamented about the fact that there is little or no increment in the private sector even after breaking a sweat while on... | |

Early Times Report
Rajouri, June 2: Though the essence of NRHM (National Rural Health Mission) is to provide succour to the general populace, for tehsils Nowshera and Sunderbani of Rajouri, the mission appears to extend benefit to its workers only.
The practice is unabated in both the tehsils while the top authorities express ignorance on this front or claim that they have no such knowledge.
Having become the bastion of illegal transfers, these tehsils over the years have been witnessing rampant attachments and transfers of the nurses of the NRHM at their choice place of postings in return of handsome bribe to the mission which is equally distributed in the hierarchy.

| | | | Terrorism attracting educated youth well | | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, June 2: Are acts of terrorism really committed by people who literally have nothing to lose? It is important to understand it thus if we see terrorism as a nihilist pursuit. Terrorism, in fact, is political, militantly political, with a clear modus operandi, strategies and set-in-stone objectives. That is why reducing terrorism to be the refuge of the poor, the uneducated and the unemployed is insincere considering that rabid Islamist or Naxal ideologies are not merely romantic.
Assuming that they are such would lead to the understanding that it is easy to brainwash people and hence lack of education could be a factor. But, in both cases, the ideologies have t... | |
