Notwithstanding claims of the successive state governments to accelerate developmental activities in the remotest areas of the Jammu region, the Bhalessa area of Doda district exposes all claims of the authorities to take “revolutionary” steps for the development and betterment of the neglected and the remote areas.
However, the area is evidence that except slogans the authorities failed to speed up road connectivity. If one goes deep in the remote areas of Doda district, the real picture exposes claims of the authorities.Bhalessa still become prey of discrimination by the successive. The residents still confront the inconveniences due to the bad roads.
People seemed out of the so called e-governance projects and slogans of reaching the unreached. The area witnessed five accidents from last three years due to wrost condition of roads.
Despites the increase in road accidents and knowing that it often results in fatal accidents overloading in allowed in hilly terrines of Doda district. Take an example of June 6, 2000, At least 11 people were feared dead and 15 others injured as a bus rolled down a road and fell into a gorge at Manoi Bhatyas.
In 17 January 2009, At least 11 people were feared dead and 15 others injured as a bus rolled down a road and fell into a gorge on the same road.
In August 2009 accident on this road, two children were killed and 30 others got injured when a matadoor plunged into 350 feet deep gorge at Bathri The area is witnessing several accidents of mini buses since two years.
That time too several precious lives were lost but nothing more than condoling the deaths and expressing shocks and grief were done by government and any authority. Regrettably no one tried to look into the root cause of accidents and came out with a plan or suggestion to decrease the frequency of accidents.
It is pertinent to note here that Thathri Kilhotran road has been taken up for Improvement, up gradation by way of providing and laying 50 mm thick bituminous macadam 20 mm thick premix carpet and providing laying WBM grade IIIin stretches for surface connections in km 1st to 5th. But what to speak of the progress, the road is still wrost since two years and its condition has gone from bad to wrost as the concerned agency lacks interest to complete the project.
The form of the land is rugged and mountainous surrounded by the sprawling mountains that one can reach Gandoh and Neeli Illaqa in difficult mode.
Owing to such depilating and narrowness of the road the area faced fatal accidents. “The State government and its related departments have failed to avert these tragedies in Doda district. We condemn this callous attitude of the administration” added a local shopkeeper Shah Nawaz.
The people said that it is for more than seven times that the area became prey of accidents but till date the area has not been provided any kind of transportation by the government. The people said that private Tata sumos are plying in the area but the people lack any kind of governmental support. The area is facing acute shortage of buses.
With regard to the developmental initiatives, about a dozen villages in the Gandoh belt, comprising a population of 30,000, solely depend upon a wooden bridge which cannot bear burden of more than three persons at one time. This wooden bridge is known as Shoran-Chili Bridge and constructed under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) scheme. Other areas like Thaloran-Kilhotran nullah, there is no bridge as the Children are not in a position to pass the nullah to reach nearby schools.
Although Gandoh is the native place of Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, majority of the villages in this belt lack facility of drinking water, electricity. One has to regularly track a distance of not less than 5 km on foot to reach the road.
Moreover, Dadkai village which is known for deaf and dumb population and teams of expert regularity visit this hamlet to check out strategy for rehabilitation of such families. Outsiders, who visit our belt, are surprised to see road connectivity in this area.
With every passing problems of the inhabitants of this belt have been increasing but promises of the politicians remained only on paper.
“Our problems and demands remain unsolved and unfulfilled. We have been crying and trying to raise our voice, but our voices remained unheard” pointed an elderly, Abdul Rehman.
The local people have demanded that more SRTC buses be deployed to the area so that students may not suffer any more. Locals have lashed the government for its failure in preventing the area from accidents.
The area need to be brought under special economic initiatives of the central and state governments so as to achieve the slogan of reaching the unreached.

Hi M
This is the article that your refer to. And it makes a lot of sense. The indigenous people managed the forests through selective burning and the carbon dated evidence suggests that we didn't have the same extreme events before white settlement.
The problem is we don't know how the methods they used worked. State authorities regulalry back burn and it can be a bit hit and miss as we saw with the Wilsons Prom fires a few years ago. The wind changed that day and a routine back burning operation turned into a serious bushfire.
At the moment the Greens are copping a lot of flak for their perceived opposition to back burning. However this is a bit disingenous. State authories back burned over 400,000 hectrares of forest in the last few years. Problem is they burned the wrong areas as it turned out.
Who knows, maybe we should put our pride away and begin employing the advice of indigenous elders.
What do you think?
Cheers
TC

Those are subjective questions, and "correct" answers are whatever your teacher told you, or whatever is written in your textbook. A different person or a different textbook will give you a different (and hence "incorrect") answer.
It’s been quite a season for Essex as the Mail Online documents, and Paul Grayson has done a good job of steering them through. But I can’t say I’m in favour of shipping in Dwayne Bravo for Twenty20 finals day. If they have that attitude then surely young players will be reluctant to go there, and if I was Kevin Pietersen - looking to come into the side only when it suited me and the ECB - I’d be approaching Essex.
Somewhere between Hampshire’s attitude and Essex’s lies the answer, but it’s got to be far closer to Hampshire’s end of the scale surely?
Poor Nole… he’s tired of doing impressions. He’s said several times that he doesn’t want to do then anymore. But it’s too late. Now people want to see him do it.

Afghan insurgents say US forces personnel member was killed in ambush two days ago in SUV ambush in Logar province The Taliban have offered to exchange the body of a US navy member they say was killed in an ambush two days ago in exchange for insurgent prisoners, an Afghan official said today. US and Nato officials confirmed that two US navy personnel went missing on Friday in the eastern province of Logar after an armoured sports utility vehicle was seen driving into a Taliban-held area. Afghan officials believe one was killed and the other captured when they apparently took a wrong turn into a dangerous area. Abdul Wali, the head of the provincial governing council, said the Taliban had made the offer through intermediaries. Local authories had responded, he said, by saying: "Let’s talk about the one who is still alive." The insurgents said they would have to talk to their superiors before making any deal. Local media in Logar reported the Taliban as claiming responsibility for the…
Vatican I in 1870 ruled the Pope infallible when he spoke “Ex Cathedra”. This is something they have been reluctant to do since they had to occasionally change rulings. So the Church can easily disavow any pronouncement it needs to in order to maintain relevancy.Scarecrow - I have a long history which makes me deeply dislike the Catholic Church but your post is a bit much even for me since it strays so deeply into the Baptist cult beliefs on the subject. I believe they also believe they know the only road to salvation and are directed by God. But then again that is the same BS that all religions have to sell, I mean what would happen to collections if people thought they could find life unending at a clapboard crap-pile closer to home?”The Bible is a lot like a mirror in that, if an ass peers in he will not find an Apostle peering out”

there is a bunch of legal info on the site. i’m pretty sure it’s completely free if the game is free… and even if you sell it you pay nothing for the first $5000… above that they get 25% of profit. I’m pretty sure it says something like “any money made from the game, even donated, counts as profit”
I am neither a fan of HP or Twilight, but I must say I like Harry Potter better. Seeing Twilight made me think about those superhero movies with plots that suddenly become sappy towards the end. Panalo yung #21 entry.

I agree with Alyssa, it is difficult to find time to come in after school. I enjoy tutoring, but it is very difficult to stay after with everything I am involved it. When I have stayed after I have done, on average, 3 consultations with reluctant, and non reluctant clients. I have also stayed after and had NO ONE come in to the writing center. Next year there needs to be a set schedule on what day you stay after, and if it is part of the grade then people will actually stay after.
