Islamabad, October 26
In a new formulation to resolve the vexed Kashmir issue, President

status of independence or joint control or under UN mandate. |

imbroglio continues
New Delhi, October 26
Although the Congress and the NCP appeared close to resolving the Maharashtra imbroglio throughout the day, the much-touted agreement failed to materialise by the end of the day.
The volatile situation
which had developed after thousands of farmers descended on this
village to stop the auction of a piece of land of a local farmer,
in lieu of payment of loan of commission agent on the order of
civil court, was defused today when the same was postponed to
January 20, 2005, by the Civil Judge. |
