Over 67 pc candidates in phase 1 school dropoutsSrinagar, Nov 16: More than sixty seven per cent candidates for the five Assembly segments of the Valley going to polls in the first of the five-phased elections in Jammu and Kashmir have had only school education or less. An analysis of the affidavits filed by the candidates for these con-stituencies reveals that out of the 50 candidates, 16 have studied till standard eighth of formal schooling only while 11 of them have passed the tenth standard exams conducted by the State Board of School Education.

The PDP candidate from Gan-derbal, Qazi Muhammad Afzal, who was a minister in the PDP-Congress coalition government from 2002 to 2008, has mentioned "NIL" in the Highest Educational Qualification Column. Afzal's Congress rival in Gan-derbal, Muhammad Yousuf Bhat has declared that he qualified the 10th standard examination through a night school. Nearly 32 per cent of the can-didates are graduates or have post graduate qualifications.

Segment-wise, Kagan Assembly seat has seven candidates who have not studied beyond eighth standard. But the other three candidates are all graduates. The main fight for Kangan constituency is expected between National Conference candidate Mian Altaf Ahmad (LLB) and PDP's Bashir Ahmad Mir (Graduate). Bandipora Assembly segment has six candidates whose educa-tional qualification is below matric level while Ganderbal has two such candidates and Sonawari Assembly

segment has one. Surprisingly, Gurez Assembly segment which is bang on the Line of Control and one of under-developed areas of Kashmir has no under-mat-ric candidate. Of the four candidates in Gurez, three are graduates and one has passed the 10th standard (matric) examination. Gurez, Bandipora, Sonawari, Ganderbal and Kangan Assembly segments will be going to polls in first phase of elections on November 25. PTI

Hurriyat (M) slams Shahid’s house arrest Srinagar, Nov 16: Hur-riyat Conference (M) has condemned the house arrest of its media advisor, Advo-cate Shahid-ul-Islam for the second consecutive day terming the arrest as ‘dic-tatorial and contrary to the tenets of politics.’ “Repeated imposition of restrictions on political and social activities of Shahi-ul-Islam and other pro-freedom

leadership depicts the frustra-tion of government. Such tyran-nical tactics are aimed to break the will of pro-freedom leaders who are successfully running the mission for right to self deter-mination,” a spokesman of the conglomerate said. He added that a delega-tion of the conglomerate led by Javaid Ahmad Mir and Imtiyaz Ahmad Reshi vis-ited Kulgam to express sym-

pathy and solidarity with the family of Tariq Ahmad who was killed by Army recently. “Mirwaiz talked with the father of the deceased on phone and expressed his shock over the killing of Tariq. Mirwaiz said that sac-rifice of Tariq was a price-less asset of freedom struggle and it would not be allowed to go waste,” the spokesper-son said.

Beware of ‘power thirsty’ politicians: NFSrinagar, Nov 16: Reiter-ating that ‘power thirsty’ politicians have once again started shedding crocodile tears, Jammu Kashmir National Front (NF) Sunday appealed people to keep themselves aloof from the election drama. “These so called politi-cians have always played role of Mir Jafars and Mir Sadiqs in the history of Kashmir and today they have started pulling each other’s legs only to befool people. But the fact is that

they are united in shaping the Indian designs in J&K,” a spokesman of NF said in a statement. He appealed people to keep themselves away from the elections. “These so called poli-ticians have now jailed senior leader Nayeem Ahmad Khan along with Hurriyat Conference (JK) leaders including Shabir Ahmad Shah, Mushtaq-ul-Islam, Shabir Ahmad Dar, Muhammad Yousuf Naqash,” he added.

Chursoo residents pick holes in compensation ‘Deserving ignored, unaffected endowed’

SHOWKAT DAR

Pulwama, Nov 16: As the administration is busy with election prepa-rations, the complaints of flood victims about misplaced sanction of compensation against the damaged houses are piling up with every passing day here in several localities

of this south Kashmir dis-trict. Sources told Greater Kashmir that survey teams, constituted to assess the damages to the flood-hit houses, have allegedly incorporated names of many undeserv-ing families in the list of worst-affected category while leaving out or ignoring some deserving victims from it in many villages like Chursoo of Awantipora Tehsil. Many Chursoo resi-dents alleged that there are some houses in their village which had devel-

oped cracks but did not collapse and were handed over a compensation of Rs 75000 (reserved for only fully damaged residential houses). And, they added, some severely affected houses have been kept in partially damaged catego-ry and sanctioned just Rs 3800 as compensation. Deputy Commissioner Pulwama, Sajad Khan told Greater Kashmir that he will look into the matter. “I will send additional DC to verify the complaints and if they turn out true, I will take concerned Tehsildar to the task,” Khan said.
