	Consumer Affairs Dept fails to notify rates of bread Rate of bread increased from Rs 7 to Rs 28 in eight years Tribune News Service Jammu, April 16 The Department of Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution (CAPD) has not notified the rates of bread in the city for the last eight years, which has led to the increase in the rates by four times. In reply to an RTI application filed by Darvinder Singh ‘Musafir’, an RTI activist, the CAPD Department stated that the department fixes the price of the essential commodities, including bread. However, during 2006, rates were notified in the Jammu municipal limits. “There is a direction from the High Court under which bread maker, namely Aagam Food Industries, Gangyal, was allowed to charge the rates at par with the neighbouring states. After that the CAPD Department has not initiated any further action for notifying the rates of bread,” the reply states. The department also informed, “Though a meeting was convened vide notice No DCAPDJ/EC/2009/521-531 on December 15, 2009, but no decision was taken. The department may take into consideration the fixing of rates of bread shortly.” Darvinder Singh alleged that the bread industries were looting the people of Jammu and the administration was mum on the issue. “I was shocked to see that the price of bread before 2006 was Rs 7 per 400 gm and after January, 2006, the price of bread remained the same, but the quantity of bread was reduced from 400 gm to 300 gm. It was done just to please the private companies and to fool the consumers and now it costs up to Rs 28 for 400 gm bread,” said Darvinder Singh. “I have also filed my complaint in the CM Grievance Cell. I have also filed a complaint in the CAPD Department regarding sale of bread in the black market on April 3, 2014, but I did not get any answer from the CAPD Department and when I visited the office, they assured me that they will take action in the matter,” he added. He said, "Why no action has been taken against private companies, like BONN, and is there any nexus between the CAPD Department and private companies? He alleged that these private companies, which are based outside J&K, were purchasing bread from local manufacturers at cheap rates and selling them at high prices. These private companies with their money power had done their promotion and incurred huge lose to local manufacturers. Due to which the local bread industry was suffering a lot.

	Backward Classes press for 27 per cent quota Tribune News Service Jammu, April 16 The All India Backward Classes Union today demanded implementation of 27 per cent reservation in the jobs and employment as per the recommendations of the Mandal Commission. Union members held a demonstration against the state government and alleged that during the past six-year rule of the National Conference (NC)-Congress coalition in Jammu and Kashmir, weaker sections had been deprived of their rights. Addressing the protesters, chief organiser of the union Puran Chargotra alleged that under the garb of Article 370, which was otherwise for the uplift of the state subjects, the state OBCs were deprived of their share. Chargotra also lashed out at the new recruitment policy terming it anti-youth and anti-weaker sections. “The policy is mockery of the educated youth who are forced to work for mere Rs 3,000 and Rs 5,000.

The constituency comprises six districts —Kathua, Udhampur, Reasi, Ramban, Kishtwar and Doda — having a total of 14,68,886 voters. Singh said most of the polling staff along with election material have reached their respective stations and the remaining staff would reach their assigned destinations tonight. Meanwhile, the road opening party of the Army today recovered two Chinese grenades, one suspected IED (Improvised Explosive Device) planted in a pressure cooker and one Pathani suit (kurta salwar) in Pul Doda, 6 km from Doda town. “This morning around 9.30, some suspected persons were moving near Pul Doda when they were challenged by some civilians. The persons in Pathani suits ran away and left behind some stuff,” said Jammu-based Defence spokesperson Lt Col Manish Mehta. A Defence Ministry release issued late in the evening stated that a major incident was averted when a bag containing ammunition was recovered from near Pul Doda today. Based on an input from the locals, the Rashtriya Rifles battalion based at Arnora and the Jammu and Kashmir Police, launched a joint search operation in the area between Pul Doda and Doda, the release stated. After an intense search, the security forces recovered a bag hidden in bushes next to the Pul Doda-Doda road. The items recovered from the bag included one closed pressure cooker (a likely Improvised Explosive Device), two live Chinese grenades, approximately 5 Kg of urea (high explosive content) and one Pathani suit, it added.

To ensure peaceful polling in all six districts, especially in the mountainous belt of Doda, Kishtwar and Ramban, which once remained the hotbed of militancy, the Army has been assisting the police and the paramilitary forces. “The Army is already present in the erstwhile Doda district and it is performing road opening duties on the highway as well. However, for the polling, it has been extending assistance to the police and the paramilitary forces,” an Army source said. “Apart from highways, the Army is also dominating the upper reaches in the region to maintain pressure on few residual militants and keep them on the run,” the source said. A senior BSF officer, meanwhile, said the BSF has deployed two battalions (1,400 personnel) in the poll-bound Udhampur-Doda seat. “While the CRPF and the Jammu and Kashmir Police have major share of deployment on 2,051 polling stations, the BSF has deployed two battalions in the constituency for polls,” the officer said. The Sashastra Seema Bal is also contributing in the election process.

	Farooq apologises to Agriculture Minister Our Correspondent Baramulla, April 16 National Conference (NC) president and Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah today apologised to Agriculture Minister Ghulam Hassan Mir for any mistake, if committed by the NC in the past. “Mir Sahib should leave his annoyance. I apologise to him if we have done any mistake in the past,” Farooq said in his address to party workers after NC-Congress coalition candidate for the Baramulla parliamentary constituency Shariefuddin Shariq filed his nomination. While pointing towards Mir, who was also present at the meeting, the Union Minister told him to join hands and help in ensuring the victory of the coalition candidate. In September last year, NC had demanded Mir’s resignation on moral grounds after former Army Chief General VK Singh said politicians in Jammu and Kashmir were paid for getting some jobs done. Farooq’s brother, Mustafa Kamal, had levelled charges against the Agriculture Minister. However, Mir, who had been denying allegations, had the support of the Congress.
	14.6 lakh voters to decide fate of 13 candidates Amir Karim Tantray Tribune News Service Jammu, April 16 As the Udhampur-Doda parliamentary segment goes to polls tomorrow, the administration is busy arranging election material and moving polling staff to 2,051 polling stations established in the constituency. As per records, around 2,051 polling stations have been put in place across the parliamentary constituency for which more than 22,516 polling staff, along with security personnel, have been moved to their respective destinations. The fate of 13 candidates, including Congress leader and Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, would be decided in tomorrow’s polls. The Udhampur-Doda segment is one of the biggest parliamentary constituencies in the country and is spread over Kishtwar, Doda, Ramban, Reasi, Udhampur and Kathua districts, on the south of Pir Panjal range. The constituency comprises 17 Assembly segments, out of which the Congress represents eight seats, while the BJP has got four MLAs from the area. Around 14,68,886 electorate, including 6,77,850 female voters, would exercise their right to franchise. The segment has also around 64,091 new voters. However, the weather might play a dampener as the Meteorological Department has predicted rain in most of the areas in the Udhampur-Doda Lok Sabha segment. The Udhampur-Doda segment is going to witness a triangular fight between the Congress, the BJP and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP), which is also in the fray, might play a spoilsport for both the Congress and the BJP, particularly in the Udhampur area where the party has a significant following. Kathua district has got 4,16,705 voters, most of them Hindus, and the BJP would be particularly banking on this area of the segment to pip the Congress, which enjoys a healthy support in the hilly belt of Doda, Kishtwar and Ramban. Udhampur has got 2,95,687 votes, while Reasi district has 2,38,113 electorate. Doda, Ramban and Kishtwar have got 1,82,694, 1,59,872 and 1,54,374 voters respectively and the Congress would be eyeing a huge voting percentage in this belt to counter the BJP. Vote matrix * 2,051 polling stations established across the Udhampur-Doda parliamentary segment * 22,516 polling staff, along with security personnel, moved to polling stations * 14,68,886 voters, including 6,77,850 females, to exercise their right to franchise * 13 candidates, including Ghulam Nabi Aazd, in the fray
	Demand for UT status to Ladakh takes centre-stage Cong, BJP incorporate issue in local poll manifestos Arteev Sharma Tribune News Service Jammu, April 16 As the election fever grips Ladakh, the demand for a union territory status to the mountainous region has taken centre-stage with the Congress and the BJP including the issue in their local poll manifestos. The Congress, which had been quietly supporting the demand till now, is now openly backing the demand and has even endorsed the call for a separate Assembly for Ladakh. “We all are united on the demand for a UT status to Ladakh. After the Ladakh Buddhist Association (LBA), the Congress had made this demand. The BJP has been demanding only a UT status for the region but we have been asking for a UT status with legislature (separate Assembly) for the region,” Phuntsog Namgyal, veteran Congress leader and four-time winner of the Ladakh parliamentary seat, told The Tribune over phone from Leh. In 1980, Namgyal had won the seat as an Independent candidate for the first time. Thereafter, he won the seat as a Congress candidate in 1984, 1989 and 1996 parliamentary elections. Namgyal said, “When we demand a UT status with legislature for Ladakh, we want to a similar Assembly which exists in union territories such as Delhi and Puducherry.” He, however, said the National Conference had always attempted to scuttle their demand by “communalising” the situation in Kargil, which is predominately inhabited by Shia Muslims. “We will approach the representatives of Kargil people and will take them into confidence. We want a UT status for the entire Ladakh region, comprising Leh and Kargil districts, as it will benefit the people of both districts. After the region becomes a UT, there will be an equal number of members in the Assembly from both districts,” Namgyal said. Yesterday, the Congress, while releasing its 29-point manifesto for Ladakh, said it “stood for the struggle for a UT status to Ladakh.” The manifesto was released after the party candidate for Ladakh seat Tsering Samphel filed his nomination papers. The demand for a UT status has been a long-pending issue with Ladakh, which had witnessed the Buddhist community coming together under the Ladakh Union Territory Front (LUTF) banner in 2002. The LUTF won uncontested two seats in 2002 Assembly polls. Though the Front disintegrated later, the demand continued to dominate the politics of the region. Thupstan Chhewang, the BJP nominee for the Ladakh seat, said: “The Congress is trying to deceive the people by making the demand for a UT status as well as a separate Assembly for Ladakh. The party has made the demand at the local level. If it was sincere towards the people of Ladakh, let the All India Congress Committee (AICC) announce its support to the demand. The BJP stand is quite clear on the issue as it has already adopted a resolution in this regard in its national executive as well as the state executive meeting.” He said the Congress had incorporated some “petty issues” in its manifesto for parliamentary elections which created a doubt about its intentions. Demand a poll gimmick: Mufti Srinagar: The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on Wednesday said “The Congress promise of a union territory status to Ladakh in its local manifesto is an election time gimmick, which has been introduced only for votes and without realising that it is constitutionally impossible,” Mufti said.

	Mufti is Modi’s Amit Shah in JK, says Omar Suhail A Shah Kulgam, April 16 Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of forging a secret alliance with the BJP. He said PDP patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed was the BJP’s ‘Amit Shah’ in Kashmir. “Mufti and his daughter are doing the same kind of work for the BJP in Jammu and Kashmir as Amit Shah is doing for it in Uttar Pradesh,” Omar said while addressing a public gathering at Town Hall in Kulgam. The Chief Minister today addressed three public gatherings in Kulgam district’s Qaimoh, Kulgam town and Devsar areas. Omar was campaigning for the National Conference-Congress coalition candidate for the south Kashmir parliamentary seat. The coalition has fielded sitting National Conference (NC) parliamentarian Mehboob Beg from the south Kashmir seat. He was accompanied by NC and Congress leaders, including Mehboob Beg, Sakina Itoo and Ghulam Ahmad Mir. While taking a dig at the PDP, he said it had fielded candidates in Poonch and the Chenab valley region in the Jammu division with the sole aim of cutting the NC-Congress vote. “This is being done to help the BJP and elevate Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister,” said Omar. “The same Narendra Modi, who has got blood of thousands of Muslims on his hands.” Terming the elections for the seat a battle between Beg and Mehbooba Mufti, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president, Omar urged people not to vote for the PDP. “Voting for the PDP will mean that you are voting for Narendra Modi,” Omar told the gathering, adding that Mehbooba’s performance during her tenure in Parliament has been dismal to say the least. “I did not see her speaking even once during our five years in Parliament. Not even asking any questions,” said Omar while hailing Beg for being outspoken and fearless during his five years in the Lok Sabha. Meanwhile, clashes erupted in the Qaimoh and Kulgam areas of Kulgam district. A partial shutdown was witnessed in Kulgam town. In Qaimoh, clashes erupted after the departure of the Chief Minister, while in Kulgam town, clashes erupted before his visit. Youths in Kulgam also tore banners, welcoming the Chief Minister.

He, however, told Omar in front of people to guarantee that his party would continue to support the Congress, no matter what.
	NC wants violence during polls: Mehbooba Farooz Ahmad Bhat Pulwama, April 16 The Peoples Democratic Party today alleged that the National Conference wants that there should be “violence” in the Valley during the ongoing elections so that people don’t come out to vote. “The NC wants violence during the ongoing elections so that people don’t come out to vote,” said PDP president and party’s candidate for the Anantnag parliamentary constituency Mehbooba Mufti said during a roadshow in Shopian district. She alleged that like in the past, the NC wants to reap the benefit of poll boycott. The leader while pointing out at the “mysterious death” of NC worker Haji Yousuf, said: “The National conference can treat people, especially its workers, the way it treated Haji Yousuf.” Mehbooba said NC lacked agenda and had nothing to highlight in its report card. She added that the party has brought “devastation” to the state. Mehbooba also questioned the essence of NC’s alliance with the Congress and questioned the coalition partners’ stand on the Article 370. She said the NC should know that the Congress has plans to give Ladakh a union territory status. “The Congress is vowing to give union territory status to Ladakh, which will disintegrate the state into three parts…the Article 370 will get revoked automatically,” Mehbooba said. Mehbooba also questioned Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s stand when during the 2002 Gujrat riots. “What did Omar do when the riots were taking place in Gujrat?” she asked. “He could also not do anything when autonomy resolution was thrown away by the NDA government,” Mehbooba said. She further said: “It was Farooq (Abdullah) who had ‘seen god in Modi’.”

In the posters, the Hizb has warned people, especially sarpanches and panches, not to participate in election rallies. “Those who participate in election rallies would be responsible for any untoward incident takes place during election rallies,” a poster read. Eyewitnesses said the posters were pasted on shop shutters, electricity poles and public places during the night. “When I was returning home after offering morning prayers at a mosque, I saw a poster pasted on an electric pole,” said Ghulam Mohammad, a resident of Wasoora in Pulwama, where Omar Abdullah addressed a rally yesterday. The police said they were investigating the matter and were yet to trace miscreants who pasted the posters.

	State govt yet to take decision on Tosa Maidan lease extension Amir Karim Tantray Tribune News Service Jammu, April 16 The state government has yet to arrive on a decision on Tosa Maidan, leased out to the Army in 1964 for 50 years to establish an artillery firing range. A meeting held at the civil secretariat today did not arrive at a decision whether to extend the lease. In November last year, the Jammu and Kashmir Government had constituted a committee under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary Mohammad Iqbal Khanday and members from the Army and the administration to arrive at a decision on the issue. Today, the committee met for the second time but remained undecided about the matter. “The committee is holding deliberations and I can’t comment on what will be the outcome of the meeting,” said the Chief Secretary. Tosa Maidan is situated in Budgam district. Around 11,000 hectares of the forest and meadow land is with the Army which has established an artillery firing range on it. The Tosa Maidan lease ends on April 18. Sources in the government said there was no habitation around Tosa Maidan. “It is not that the firing is a continuous process in the area. The government is not insensitive that it will allow establishment of a firing range in the area which proves fatal for people,” a source said. People of the area have alleged that due to firing, around 150 people have lost their lives so far, but the government believes 63 people have died since the meadow was leased out. The issue is also being exploited by the separatists who are demanding withdrawal of the Army from the area. Ruling National Conference leader and Finance Minister Abdul Rahim Rather yesterday said the government would not extend the lease to the Army. “It could be a long-drawn process as well and one doesn’t know when the decision is taken,”a source said.

	Srinagar SSP told to initiate inquiry against Nowgam SHO Court issues fresh non-bailable arrest warrants against accused cops Ishfaq Tantry Tribune News Service Srinagar, April 16 Taking strong note of non-execution of arrest warrants against the accused police personnel in the Wamiq Farooq killing case, a local court here today directed the Srinagar SSP to initiate an inquiry against the Station House Officer (SHO) concerned for failing to execute the warrants and submit the inquiry report for court’s perusal. Issuing fresh non-bailable arrest warrants against the two accused cops, the Srinagar Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) further directed the SSP to ensure execution of the warrants. Wamiq, a Class VII student, was killed by a teargas shell allegedly fired by the police on January 31, 2010, near Gani Memorial Stadium in old Srinagar city. Following his death, over 100 civilians were killed in security forces firing. Earlier on March 14, the CJM had directed the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kashmir, to execute the non-bailable arrest warrants against the accused policemen by the next date and had also warned of “coercive means” if he (IGP) failed to execute the same. The Srinagar SSP in his earlier report to the court had said that one of the accused - ASI Abdul Khaliq - is on earned leave and the other accused, Special Police Officer Mohammad Akram, is undergoing training at Subsidiary Training Centre (STC), Talwara, in Punjab. However, as the matter came up before the court today, the police failed to produce both the accused cops. Offering an explanation for the lapse, the Srinagar SSP in his report to the court submitted that the Nowgam SHO has failed to execute the warrants against the accused ASI. The prosecution, however, contradicted and controverted Ajaz’s submissions, even as the IGP today moved an application before the CJM seeking exemption from personal appearance. The counsel representing the complainant family, advocate Ajaz Dar, in his submissions before the court argued, “The Kashmir IGP has not complied with the court directions issued from time to time and has failed to get the arrest warrants executed against the accused cops.” “It is not the IGP who can always be hauled up for not complying with the directions of the court for executing process, when there is a large number of subordinates under him to do the needful,” the court observed in its orders. “In this background, the Srinagar SSP is directed to ensure execution of warrants against both the accused persons, because the report filed by SSP Srinagar is indicative of the fact that the SHO concerned has not executed the warrants, nor the Principal concerned (of the training centre) has executed the warrants”, the CJM observed in its orders. “The Srinagar SSP will conduct an inquiry against the Nowgam SHO as to why the SHO failed to execute the warrants against the accused ASI, Abdul Khaliq. The Principal of STC, Talwara, shall also tender an explanation for his lapse to execute the warrants against accused constable Mohd Akram,” the court directed while asking the Srinagar SSP to submit the inquiry report by next hearing. Issuing fresh non-bailable warrants against both the accused cops, the court further directed the Srinagar SSP to get these executed through the SHO concerned and the STC Principal. The matter has been fixed for further consideration on May 10. Case history * Wamiq, a Class VII student, was killed by a teargas shell allegedly fired by the police on January 31, 2010, in Srinagar * While the teenager’s family has held the police responsible for the killing, the police had termed the slain teenager a miscreant and resisted the arrest of accused officers * Earlier on February 25, in a setback to the J&K police, a Sessions Court here had dismissed the revision petition of two accused policemen in the killing of teenager Wamiq Farooq and directed them to appear before the CJM, Srinagar, on March 3 * On March 14, the CJM had directed the IGP, Kashmir, to execute non-bailable arrest warrants against the accused policemen * The Srinagar SSP in his earlier report had said one of the accused — ASI Abdul Khaliq — was on earned leave and the other accused, Special Police Officer Mohammad Akram, was undergoing training at the Subsidiary Training Centre, Talwara, in Punjab.

	Campaigning in sunroof vehicles, politicians exposed to risk Ravi Krishnan Khajuria Tribune News Service Jammu, April 16 On December 27, 2007, two-time Prime Minister of Pakistan and head of the Pakistan People’s Party Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in Rawalpindi while cheering her supporters from the sunroof of her vehicle ahead of the January 2008 elections. And, amid poll frenzy in Jammu and Kashmir, which witnessed three militant attacks on March 28 in Kathua district, in Kupwara district on April 8 and on April 12 in Pulwama district, politicians, including ministers of the National Conference-Congress alliance, UPA government and former chief ministers, have been putting themselves to grave risk. Like Benazir, they travel in sunroof vehicles and some of them even travel in roofless vehicles when holding roadshows across the state. Though the first phase of the polls in the Jammu-Poonch constituency, which saw a 70 per cent turnout, passed off peacefully, the possibility of terror attacks on politicians holding roadshows cannot be ruled out, said an Intelligence source. “Just yesterday, militants attacked the residence of a National Conference leader and killed two policemen. It was the first terror attack targeting election activities in the state this year. Therefore, the possibility of attacks on politicians during their roadshows cannot be ruled out,” he said. “We have alerted the Jammu and Kashmir Police and other security agencies,” he said. Director General of Police (DGP) Ashok Prasad said: “There is a proper and elaborate security system in place. To be more precise, there is a clear, elaborate, laid down procedure in place for political rallies and roadshows.” “The police along with the CRPF and other forces are there. A lot of effort is going into these rallies and roadshows that can’t be discussed in public domain,” said the DGP. “There is no compromise whatsoever with the security and it is not that we have made some ad hoc arrangements. Our effort is to ensure that no incident happens with the candidates contesting the elections in the state. We will ensure zero incident,” he said. To a query, the DGP said, advisories in the form of do’s and don’ts have been issued to the candidates. Those who have been holding roadshows in sunroof and roofless vehicles are Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, former Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed, Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee president Saifuddin Soz and Congress MP Madan Lal Sharma.
