Shah Abbas analyses.  The political forum, All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) that wants an end of Indian rule over Jammu & Kashmir is on its way to yet another split, second after its formation in 1993.

                            GNS KUPWARA MAY 29  : The carelessness of municipal committee of Distt. Kupwara is clearly  evident from this pic , the whole garbage is dumped in the midst of this bus stand providing a way to stray dogs and cattle to occupy the major part of this bus stand meant for buses .
