We have to resolve that issue. We have to save the Kashmiri people, and we must involve them in the peace process.

💻Jk News info 📰 NEW YORK, Apr 30: Director John Singleton, who made one of Hollywood’s most memorable debuts with the Oscar-nominated “Boyz N the Hood” and continued over the following decades to probe the lives of black communities in his native Los Angeles and beyond, has died. He was 51. Singleton’s family said Monday that he died after being taken off life support, about two weeks after the director suffered a major stroke. Singleton was in his early 20s, just out of the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, when he wrote, directed and produced “Boyz N the Hood.” Based on Singleton’s upbringing and shot in his old neighbourhood, the low-budget production starred Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ice Cube and centered on three friends in South Central Los Angeles, where college aspirations competed with the pressures of gang life. “Boyz N the Hood” was a critical and commercial hit, given a 20-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival and praised as a groun...

💻Jk News info 📰 Sir, This refers to editorial “Termination of Medical Officer” (Daily Excelsior 23.04.2019). As the Department of Health and Medical Education has terminated many medical officers for not joining their duties , it is the duty of the department to issue appointment orders in favour of candidates figuring in the waiting list. As per business rules of JK Public Service Commission waiting list is valid for one year and is extendable to another six months. There are many selected candidates who have joined as Medical Officers in Health Department but continue to be present in Medical Colleges where they are enrolled as Post Graduation students. This is injustice with the candidates who are in the waiting list and having touched the upper age limit for Government job (39 years). The PG students can get a chance for appointment in Govt service but those already 38 or 39 years of age have no such chance. It is an earnest request to Principal Secretary Health & Medical Ed...

💻Jk News info 📰 Ram Rattan Sharma Volumes of books have been written on the importance of education in life. The essence of all those writings and views is that, education means the fostering of the personality through the unhampered development of innate qualities of human being. It also means the awakening of intelligence and development of an integrated life. It aims to adjust the rhythm of the individual life with the rhythm of the society. This adjustment involves strengthening of character and consolidation of the moral fibre. Today education in India, however, appears to be at variance with these standards. The situation in schools, colleges and universities is pretty disconcerting with several forces competing with each other in polluting the academic atmosphere. While educationists all over the country recognize the malaise, they have not been able to suggest a workable remedy, although suggestions have been forth coming regularly. The malaise persists due to the bottle nec...

💻Jk News info 📰 Arun Srivastava This Lok Sabha election has become a Kurukshetra for middle class and rural poor. This election will decide whether India is an inclusive culture or is the exclusive society. Though Narendra Modi uses the term rural poor and poverty but not in the inclusive sense. He is fully devoted to the exclusive society and is the champion of majoritarianism. It is only for getting the votes of the rural people that he maintains the façade of being sensitive to the poor’s need and committed follower of inclusive culture. An insight into the Modi Government’s economic policies and programme would make it explicit that these reflect the needs and requirements of the middle class. This class favours market-oriented liberalization and reforms. True enough India has been witnessing this since 1991 but in recent times the process has been hastened. This class has its own values and priorities. For it the old values and traditions are redundant as they have lost their ...

💻Jk News info 📰 Harsha Kakar Imran Khan’s comments while on his visit to Iran opened a can of worms. He stated, ‘I know Iran has suffered from terrorism (perpetrated) by groups operating from Pakistan. …we (need to) have trust in each other that both countries will not allow any terrorist activity from their soil. We hope this will build confidence between us.’ He was referring to the two groups, JaishulAdl and Lashkar-i-Khorasan, which operate from Pak soil. These groups were responsible for the suicide attack on Iranian Revolutionary Guards early this year which claimed 27 lives. Iran vowed revenge. The fact that Pak provides them support was well known, but the admission of the same by a head of state has informed the world that Pak supports terrorist groups. Earlier Nawaz Sharif had stated that the attackers of Mumbai were also launched from Pak. For this comment he was charged under sedition acts and the case is presently in progress.Musharraf has also made this statement on ...

💻Jk News info 📰 It is paramount for any Government worth the name, to give due impetus to the system of evaluating, appraising and reviewing the performance of IAS officers having completed 25 years in active service or having attained the age of 50 years. Since usually such officers have to take decisions, critical ones, risk oriented, sensitive and important by nature, to run the administration, it is imperative that this exercise was undertaken as a standing and non -negotiable principle of Human Resources Development to weed out the ‘Dead Wood’. In fact, this system is in vogue in most of the Public Sector Undertakings and even those in Private Sector where personnel of different ranks in officers cadre are working and where performance was the criteria supported by probity and integrity. Having said so, it looks completely beyond comprehension as to why the State Government, especially the present one under the Governor’s rule, should appear to be indifferent to such a vital is...

💻Jk News info 📰 Even a cursory comparison of the overall condition of the holy Devika river at Purmandal as at present, with how it used to look and contain water for us few decades ago would not be of any avail to pin point the reasons of its fast deterioration unless we also list out who were actually responsible for it. That all is needed for the obvious reasons to try to stop further ravaging and violating this river, otherwise considered sacred if not equivalent to but not also any less to the holy Ganga. Anti ecological measures vis-à-vis instances of unauthorised constructions just nearby and direct discharge of wastes therefrom coupled with encroachments, extraction of minerals, cremations at spots wilfully chosen, dumping of municipal waste, solid waste and other types of garbage into it have all resulted in the present scenario and the mess this river has been reduced to, which appears to be heart rending. If those responsible for its present condition still do not understa...

💻Jk News info 📰 WASHINGTON, Apr 30: A former US diplomat confirmed Monday that North Korea asked for USD 2 million to release an American student who had fallen into a coma after alleged torture — and said Washington should pay it. Joseph Yun, a veteran US diplomat who had flown to Pyongyang in 2017 to bring back 22-year-old Otto Warmbier, said that North Korea presented him with a bill for his medical expenses. He said he called up then secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who he believed then sought a green light directly from President Donald Trump. Tillerson “got back to me very quickly thereafter to say, yes, go ahead and sign,” Yun, who has since left government, said. The Washington Post first reported the payment demand, after which Trump, describing himself as “the greatest hostage negotiator” in US history, tweeted that nothing was paid to North Korea. But Yun said that Trump’s decision means that the United States should pay. “If you’ve signed, if you promised another g...

💻Jk News info 📰 Wednesday  May 01-2019 Aries : The yogis have finally succeeded in impressing you. Was it a stint in a Art of Living course? Ganesha gives you the thumbs-up and suggests you join that music or dance class you have been wanting to. Generally a nice day, and success is on the cards. Taurus : This all matters are likely to revolve around the opposite sex. Women are going to feature prominently and significantly in everything that you do. So says Ganesha. That is good.

💻Jk News info 📰   UNITED NATIONS, Apr 30: The world is seeing a “groundswell of intolerance” and hate-based violence against people of various faiths, and this “venom” is directed at anyone considered “the other”, the UN chief has said, warning that parts of the internet were becoming “hothouses of hate”. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres’ remarks have come in the wake of a series of attacks against mosques, synagogues and other places of worship in the recent past, including the Easter Sunday bombings targeting three churches in Sri Lanka that killed more than 250 people. A gunman armed with a semiautomatic rifle on Sunday entered a synagogue in Poway in California, some 40 kilometres north of San Diego, yelling anti-Semitic slurs and opened fire, killing one woman, and wounding the rabbi and two others. Six people, including a pastor, were killed in an attack on a church in Burkina Faso on Sunday. Last month, 50 worshippers were gunned down at two mosques in Christchur...

💻Jk News info 📰 UNITED NATIONS, Apr 30: Deaths caused by infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria will skyrocket over the next two decades, along with huge economic costs, without immediate, ambitious and coordinated action, the UN World Health Organisation (WHO) and partners warned. According to a groundbreaking report, the UN Ad hoc Interagency Coordinating Group on Antimicrobial Resistance warned that if no action is taken, drug-resistant diseases could cause 10 million deaths each year by 2050 and damage to the economy as catastrophic as during the 2008-2009 global financial crisis. By 2030, antimicrobial resistance could force up to 24 million people into extreme poverty. Currently, at least 700,000 people die each year due to drug-resistant diseases, including 230,000 people, who die from multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. More and more common diseases, including respiratory and urinary tract infections, as well as sexually transmitted infections, are untreatable; lifesa...

💻Jk News info 📰 UNITED NATIONS, Apr 30: The United Nations in Geneva held a major summit to counter hate speech, co-hosted by Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, Adama Dieng. A ‘disturbing groundswell’ of hate-based violence and intolerance aimed at worshipers across all faiths, must be countered soon before it’s too late, the United Nations Secretary-General said, noting murderous attacks on a synagogue in California, and a church in Burkina Faso. Warning against a “revival” of ultra-nationalist groups and parties, the UN official warned that they “legitimised violations”, by portraying minorities as a threat to their culture and identity. “These groups are spreading their incendiary language into mainstream political discourse; we see this in too many countries,” he said, at the event co-hosted with the International Association for the Defence of Religious Liberty (AIDLR). “We need to collectively and actively stop these dynamics and counter them with messages of ope...

💻Jk News info 📰   UNITED NATIONS, Apr 30:The UN humanitarian chief has said there has been “no progress” in dealing with the reasons why more than 700,000 Rohingya Muslims fled to Bangladesh from western Myanmar’s Rakhine state. Mark Lowcock, who just returned from a visit to Bangladesh, said on Monday Myanmar has failed “to put in place confidence-building measures that would persuade people it’s safe to go back.” He said all the refugees he spoke to didn’t think it was safe to return, and want to be assured of things like freedom of movement and access to education, jobs and services. Buddhist-majority Myanmar has long considered the Rohingya to be “Bengalis” from Bangladesh even though their families have lived in the country for generations. Nearly all have been denied citizenship since 1982, effectively rendering them stateless, and they are also denied freedom of movement and other basic rights. The latest crisis began with attacks by an underground Rohingya insurgent g...

💻Jk News info 📰 Washington, Apr 30 (Sputnik) The recently negotiated trade agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada – known by the acronym USMCA – will die in the US Congress unless President Donald Trump first removes tariffs on steel and aluminum from the two US neighbors, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley warned in an op-ed article on Monday. “If these tariffs aren’t lifted, USMCA is dead,” Grassley wrote on the Wall Street Journal opinion pages. “There is no appetite in Congress to debate USMCA with these tariffs in place.” Grassley praised the USMCA as a good agreement for the environment, for workers, for jobs and for nearly every sector of the US economy, but he warned that many Americans have been harmed by Mexican and Canadian tariffs imposed in retaliation for the US steel and aluminum levies. As an example, Grassley cited agricultural tariffs on hog farmers in his home state of Iowa that continue to damage communities with lost jobs and redu...

💻Jk News info 📰 WASHINGTON, Apr 30: US Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who chose Special Counsel Robert Mueller to lead the Russia interference probe and protected him from political intrusion, announced on Monday he is stepping down. In a letter to President Donald Trump, Rosenstein said he would depart on May 11, after more than two turbulent years as the number two official in the Department of Justice. The veteran Republican prosecutor, 54, stunned the country on May 17, 2017 when he named an independent lawyer to take on the Russia probe after Trump fired FBI director James Comey. Then-attorney general Jeff Sessions had already recused himself from overseeing the investigation, leaving Rosenstein in charge. That made Rosenstein effectively the one buffer between Mueller and the White House — a position that became even more crucial when the investigation began examining whether Trump himself had obstructed justice by firing Comey and then trying to have Mueller fired...
