LOL,

Peddling lies again, are w? I see.

Ahmad, they are NOT ready for any such thing. They have NEVER made that suggestion except on forums to score fake points. Infact the option for independence was dropped from the UN plan on the insistence of Pakistan!

They have the blood of scores of thousands on their hands, yes, the Terrorist State of Pakistan through all their proxies, and their lies are only smoke screen, you are an Afghan, and you KNOW!

Kishtwar-Anantnag tunnel to pass through the Sinthan Pass

The ambitious project to bore a tunnel between Vailoo in South Kashmir and Singhpora in Kishtwar, once completed, will revolutionise road connectivity between the Kashmir Valley and the Doda region of Jammu.

Even as work continues on the road — which goes through one of the highest passes in the Himalayan region and will connect Kishtwar, the remote district in the Doda region, with Anantnag in South Kashmir — the tunnel will shorten the travelling distance from eight to two hours.

The Sinthan Pass, at 12,450 ft., ignored as one of the barren passes until a few years ago, is all set to gain importance once the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for handing it over to a consortium is complete.

The five-km-long tunnel will be financed by the Jammu and Kashmir Bank on a public-private-partnership basis. International bids will be invited to take up the work.

A team of consultants from Mumbai visited the area on Saturday to conduct an informal survey for making the DPR. They trekked 13 km to see how the work can be made possible.

“The technical partner will be selected through a global tendering process. J&K Bank is financing the project under special purpose vehicle,” a senior J&K Bank official said.

The team was accompanied by Minister for Roads and Buildings G.M. Saroori, who has been pivotal in pushing the project through. He later told TheHindu that the tunnel will be completed in two years, after the bidding is finalised, at a cost of Rs.400 crore.

Mr. Saroori said that under the Prime Minister's Reconstruction Plan, Rs.640 crore has already been earmarked for the road that passes through Sinthan.

Work halted in 2008

Work on the project was stopped in 2008 when militants killed four General Reserve Engineering Force (GREF) personnel, including a Lieutenant Colonel, on June 13 that year.

The GREF, a subsidiary of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), had been working on the project, which would not only shorten the distance between Kishtwar and Anantnag by six hours but also provide an alternative to the Srinagar-Jammu highway, which generally turns hostile during winter.

While the BRO proposed a six-km-long tunnel between Pahalgarh and Alan Gadole, the State government prefers a four-km-long tunnel from Singhpora and Vailoo.

“This is more viable as the work on the road on both these sides is complete and makes sense,” Mr. Saroori said.

The work is almost complete on the Anantnag side but only light vehicles from South Kashmir to Kishtwar ply on a daily basis. The Pass closes soon after the first snowfall until April.

A traveller has to cover 290 km to reach Kishtwar via the Srinagar-Jammu highway, and the Srinagar-Sinthan-Kishtwar road reduces the distance by 200 km. Earthwork and two-laning have been completed from Batote to Chatroo on the Kishtwar side, but the middle stretch needs a lot more work.

Indian are upto their tricks again and they want to do business with us.

Pakistani fighter did not enter Kashmir in 1947 but in 1948 till Raja signed the succession, he had no right to do so as it was to be decided on the bases of populous as accepted by Nehru, Jinnah and British.

Most stately areas were to be decided by populous and not by force.

We do not trust india as it took Hyderasbad, Junagardh and other stately prince'ts by force. So we had to go into kashmir, but at the request of U.N The than Prime minister of Pakistan withdrew from Srinagasr airpoert to the present position for the plebiscite to take place.

India promised in U.N. and than refused.

So Kaqshmir is a disputed trrritorey and it only can be settled by the wishes of the kashmiri people, India has no right to hold it against their will.

Six weaponed foreign militants were killed late on Monday, and three Armymen also lost their lives in a violent gun-battle that broke out alongside the Line of Control in Kupwara region of Jammu and Kashmir.

Acting on a tip-off, troops started with the movement of a group of infiltrating militants in 104 frontward locations alongside LoC in Kupwara belt and launched an operation, which triggered the encounter, a Senior Army official at Udhampur-based Northern Command said.

Six foreign militants and three Army jawans were killed in the gun-battle, which was when reports were previously brought from the region.

For the meantime, security forces have recovered three anti-personnel collieries from a field that is near the Indo-Pak border in Samba district of J&K.

Acting on information given by a farmer, security forces could locate the three mines from his field near the International Border in Sadha Chak area, which is almost 47-kms from here, the previous night, police said.

The mines had later been defused. The operation was yet going on at the time.

Army Spokesperson, Lt. Col., J S Brar said that the operation was launched on Sunday night in Nowgam subdivision, when troops could identify a movement of militants near LoC.

As troops challenged the terrorists, they opened fire. In the encounter that is still going on, five terrorists were killed. Three soldiers too lost their lives while the clash was on, he said.

Police sources in north Kashmir said that bodies of the militants had been recovered by the Army, along with weapons and ammunition. Support has been rushed to the region to make sure that no militant crashes in.

Ahmad we are ready to that even as we believe whatever Kashmiris want is right but Terrorist State of India is not having the guts to face the public verdict

Dil ke khush rakhne ko ‘Ghalib’ ye khayal achcha hai"

 

[Mirza Jatt]

Let me tell you a little fact. You aren't going to achieve that bold part in at least 60 coming years in the future.

Tell me why did u want Hydrabad???...

Trust me these discussions will take us to history, and we will keep digging it up until our steps bleed.

You guys were then so intelligent that you gave some to China. It was good for India. Now do a pool, we will call all kahmiri Pandits scattered across India.

Indians flaunt their democracy so much, yet they always go for the military solution to Kashmir. If Kashmiris want to live with India, why not have a referendum and finish the dispute. State elections are no substitute for referendum as established by global democratic practices. Canada had a referendum in Qubec. Australia had a referendum about maintaining dominion status. EU members have referendums for major decisions about EU, although they all have elected governments; sovereign governments, not state governments. Why doesn't India follow their example and have a referendum in Kashmir and finish this issue once and for all.

Feel pity on a victim of Green media with a crescent and a star... She thinks that Pakistan is going to free the illegally occupied land if India vacates her legal land.... May God show her the right path...

Well ...last time a similar plebiscite was conducted ...Pakistan lost ....but again Pakistan claims that was rigged....remember Junagarh

So how can world be assured that Pakistan will honor the verdict .....

the problem is that for Pakistanis... plebiscite has only two options...

1. Join Pakistan


2. Stay alone.

But whats not taught to them is that there is another option...

3. Stay with India...but they simply forget this one....

All other referendums you talked about happened in absence of external influence. In Kashmir, till the time Pakistan does not stop the state policy of cross border terrorism and does not comply to troop widthdrawl from Pakistan occupied Ka shmir, a referendum is an option that is not under discussion.

People who are suggesting independence of Kashmir should read history.
Kashmir was independent till Pakistan attacked it, so that is not a solution.
The best solution is this.
Make borders irrelevant.
Pakistan control their part and India control their part and Kashmiri can move freely.

Why this is only solution because no one both India and Pakistan will allow change of border, whatever happens.

Also to get peace in Valley Kashmir's who indulge in stone pelting should understand that they should not create a situation where force is needed.

Example if there is stone pelting and mob going out of control, security forces have to fire teargas and rubber bullets, which sometime results in death.

This is then followed by more violent protest and same thing repeats.

This has repeated too many times in Kashmir.

My question is why can't Kashmiri's learn that violent protest always leads to death and avoid going that way.

I also feel that their can be opportunist of ISI/Seperatist who deliberately create a violent situation forcing security forces to fire. They know this will lead to injuries and deaths which give them perfect platform to further instigate the situation.
