Through the country's longest transportation tunnel and the longest cable stayed bridge. All trains packed to capacity with over 80% of the passengers as tourists.

Srinagar fully sold out. This time not for cheap. No room available at any hotel, any houseboat. Hotels, houseboats, Shikaras, taxis... all have raised rates 500% to 1000%. The 1.5 km drive from Dalgate to Nehru Park is now a 40-minute drive due to permanent traffic jam, huge tourist rush and the successive Governments' lack of will to widen Boulevard to a 4-lane road.

Ex-bureaucrat Khurshid Ahmed Ganai says that the National Conference Government in Jammu and Kashmir must boldly and immediately remove the "injustice to Open Merit candidates" which has crippled their prospects in Government jobs and scholarship, particularly in their entry to the J&K Administrative Services. Reappropriation of justice is not injustice to any category, says he. Watch the full unfiltered podcast with Khurshid Ahmed Ganai on TALKISTAN here:

ANOTHER MILESTONE. Phase-1 of Srinagar Ring Road (Pampore-Narbal-Gabderbal) bypassing the capital city of Srinagar, is now nearing completion. This Phase-1 of the Srinagar Ring Road, which was for the first time approved and announced by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on 25 September 2012 and later fully funded and executed by the National Highways NHAI , will reduce the cumbersome passage of 90-minutes from Pampore to Narbal, to a smooth 30-minute cruise through Chadoura, Ichigam, Budgam, Wadwan. It's a 15-minute drive from Budgam to Pampore but still not operational due to minor incompletions. Main credit for its completion goes to the Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari. Work on Phase-2 from Narbal to Ganderbal is beginning soon.

We too are often upset over poor service & the way many patients/ attendants are treated at hospitals. But this act by a councillor in Pulwama today is no way to talk to doctors & seeking services from a hospital. How can "new leadership in Kashmir" emerge from such councillors?

Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna's wife Nirmal Khanna claims that Rubaiya Sayeed's kidnapping on 8 December 1989 was "just a drama to get the militants released". Same militants, she claims, killed her husband and three other IAF men at Rawalpora Srinagar on 25 January 1990. According to her, then Union Home Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed's Jammu residence was just a few yards away from the Government house given to her by Governor Jagmohan but Mufti Sahab didn't turn up even for paying a lip service over the IAF officer's killing.
