Service Selection Board Challenge!
How is this for a lingo – 4 years into submission of forms for the posts in telecommunication wing of J&K police, the candidates still haven`t heard anything from the Services Selection board. This is mighty close to being propelled to Guinness Book of World Records – the biggest, or should I say the most miserable lingo ever.However I suspect there might be several other instances when the J&K SSB have beaten this record – those that are unheard and untold, swept under the carpet and into the drain, never shown the light of the day. And why not, this is the least the SSB can do for it`s candidates.
Abnormal – Kashmir!
Ever since Omar Abduallah came to power in Jammu and Kashmir, things have started to happen. In a place like Kashmir this is nothing less than terrific. A place where the most trivial of a document takes months to get throught, this indeed is special. As far down the memory lane as I can go,I can`t find an instance when the Roads and Buildings wing has been in such ‘planned frenzy’. Wherever you go today, roads are being tended to. This has to be a miracle of some sort or of course I might be dreaming. But no it is happening. Some one month ago, a rupees 60 crore fund for reconstruction of roads was passed. I suspect half of that must have been spent by now – pardon my over enthusiasm. But certainly things look better. Let us hope that the same development seeps into other sectors of our state as well, sectors that have remained in a lingo for a long long time now!
Taking nothing away from the current regime, I wonder how ineffective the previous governments must have been – which could not give us at least a good network of roads.
