Early Times Report
Jammu, June 15: The seating arrangement for 781 more candidates for the upcoming written exam for the posts of Sub-Inspector in J&K Police (Executive) has created doubts among thousands of aspirants.

A total of 16,130 candidates had qualified the Physical Standard Test (PST) whereas the seating arrangements for 16911 candidates have been made by the Police Recruitment Board (PRB) for the written examination scheduled to be held on June 24.

The candidates who qualified the PST told Early Times that a total of 8069 and 8061 candidates qualified the test from Jammu and Kashmir province, respectively.

A total of 16130 candidates were supposed to appear in the written test, but the PRB has made arrangements for 16911 candidates-8623 in Jammu province and 8288 in Kashmir province.

"Making seating arrangements for 781 more candidates indicates something is fishy in the entire selection process. It might be that some blue-eyed candidates have been given backdoor entry to appear in the written examination", an aspirant said.

He asked: "Who will check whether only those qualified the PST will appear in the written exams or 781 more candidates who hadn't even qualified PST will also appear".

The aspirants said the invigilating staff in the written examination would also be from the police department and there are bleak possibilities that any police officer would raise questions over any wrongdoing by his own department.
A professor working at Parade College, one of the centres for the PRB, said the police have not sought any invigilating staff from the college. "Most of the invigilating staff in the police recruitment exam would be from the department and it all depends on their dictates", the professor said.

"The halls in our college have capacity in hundreds, and whenever we give space to UPSC or SSC for conducting examinations, we remove desks from the classroom as per the allotment of students. No extra desk is placed in the examination hall", the professor said, adding that making extra arrangements by police department would definitely create doubts about the selection process.

But refuting the allegations, ADG Police, AK Choudhary, said that these were only the capacity of the halls in the educational institutions. "The order under circulation on the social networking sites, according to which confusion has been created, was actually for internal use of the department. But somehow it made its way to social networking sites", Choudhary said and reiterated that the entire selection process was totally transparent.

At GDC Parade 24 rooms of the New-block have been converted into examination halls each with sitting capacity of 24 candidates. A Professor posted at Parade College said the average capacity of these rooms varies from 50-80 students per room. The desks are not fixed in these rooms and during college exams 24-30 students are allowed to sit as per university norms but more students can be adjusted, he said, adding that during JUET exams in the same rooms 40-60 students were allowed to sit. The increasing or decreasing the sitting capacity depends on the choice of organizers, he added.

https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/india/javed-rahi-with-jammu-and-kashmir-state-land-shrinking-nomad-gujjar-and-bakarwal-have-nowhere-to-go Akshay Azad The gruesome gangrape and murder of 8-year-old girl in Jammu and Kashmir has brought the spotlight on deepening existential crisis of twin nomadic tribes in the state which form the third largest ethnic group, Gujjars and Bakarwals. The barbaric crime incident soon snowballed into a major controversy in the aftermath of alleged directives of the state government to police and civil administration not to carry out anti-encroachment drives against tribal population without prior approval of the Tribal Affairs Department and nor harass them when they transport cattle.At a time when nomadic Gujjars and Bakarwals are being viewed as a threat to the demography of the region, Tribal Research and Cultural Foundation has suggested a dialogue between the community members and civil society representatives in Jammu.

Attempt to adjust some blue-eyed candidates, allege aspirants Akshay Azad Jammu, Aug 22: The Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission has shortlisted mostly non NET/SLET or Ph.D qualified candidates for the posts of Assistant Professors in Information Technology subject, which is in total violation of University Grants Commission regulations regarding minimum eligibility for AP posts. Though JKPSC has reportedly taken the excuse that NET or SLET is not being conducted in the IT subject so candidates with only PG have been shortlisted but experts have out-rightly rejected these ‘hollow’ pleas. The experts have argued that NET or SLET is also not being conducted in Zoology, Botany, Biotechnology subject but the candidates have to appear in NET/SLET in the allied subject Life Sciences as per the UGC guidelines.

A short story based on true life events  Akshay Azad  In her 67 years age, my mother Smt. Pushpa Devi wife of Late Sh. Bansi Lal Sharma had never eaten or even touched any non-vegetarian food item. Even the items such as cakes in which eggs are used were never tasted by my mother. It is unimaginable to think of cooking any non-vegetarian food in our family kitchen.  Even raw meat was never brought inside our house.   All family members including my mother, late father, one brother out of four, all sister-in-laws and children are so far vegetarian except me and two other elder brothers. Even when doctors suggested my eldest brother Raju Bir, to consume meat when he had a fractured leg, same was separately prepared in a dhaba and consumed there. The sanctification of the family kitchen was so much maintained by my mother that whenever we would skip dinner, it was obvious that we would eat meat. So the next morning, we were treated outcasts as the las...
