Jammu, Aug 11: Terrorists killing a BJP leader and his wife in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district has yet again punctured the tall claims about normalcy returning to the Valley.
On Monday terrorists shot dead BJP’s Kisan Morcha president of Kulgam, Ghulam Rasool Dar, and his wife by barging inside their rented accommodation in Lal Chowk area of Anantnag town.

| Jammu plunges into dark age as unprecedented power cuts return | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 11: With the return of unprecedented power cuts within just one month, the Jammu region appears to be plunged into the dark age thanks to insensitive, arrogant bureaucrats at the helm of the affairs.
