This is the newest thing happening between the two people straddling the border in Jammu. It was recently detected, by chance. BSF found somebody moving suspiciously near the border and it was a 15 years old boy Imran, a resident of Jalo Chak in Pakistan’s Sahiwal area. In custody, he revealed he had crossed into this side when he was 12. Since then, he has been living with Hassan Din, a Gujjar of forward village Hariya Chak in Hiranagar. Din had given him a fake identity and kept him his domestic help. But Imran said he was tortured by Din forcing him to return. Din is in custody and the baffled security grid is keen to know what is the magnitude of the people to people dialogue at an unofficial and illegal level.

KOKERNAG

Peerzada-M-SyedIt can happen only in Kashmir where politicians begging for investment from Corporate India demolish those who do it at their own. An entrepreneur who was in the process of setting up an Rs 20 crore mineral water unit at Sagam in Kokernag had invested Rs 20 lakhs when local MLA and minister Peerzada Sayeed ordered its demolition. Investor Sameer Daril who had got all the clearances was beaten and chased away.

The minister did not know that it is water abundant Kokernag and not Thar desert! Long live the government.
