NEW DELHI: In a move which could bring cheers to students in Kashmir valley appearing for their board examinations next year, the CBSE has said it will take a "sympathetic view" on providing relaxations to them on matters of attendance.

The development comes after a school in the valley approached the CBSE with the issue as the days of unrest in the state had left schools closed for over 100 days.

Sources in the Board said that given the situation the students had to undergo, the Board will take a "sympathetic view" on the issue of providing relaxations to them on matters of attendance.

Indications are that several more CBSE-affiliated schools are also planning to approach the Board.

CBSE's stand may reduce the anxieties of students as CBSE rule mandates a minimum of 75 per cent attendance in classes for appearing in the class X and class XII examinations.

Sources said the Board was also exploring how to help the students catch up with the syllabus.

what i understand is, firstly it were these movements that bharatis thought of having pakistan connection, JKLF must be making these statements just out of dissapointment that pakistan govt is not giving enough support to them morally so they are now expressing their jealousy by saying that??? JKLF already supports militantancy

but its good, bharatis posting these news may realize pakistan has nothing to do with these movements and they are thriving just because of bharati criminal attitude..

yasin malik was a very pro pakistani before
 
Jawans to get cash rewards for restraint in J&K - India News - IBNLive

Srinagar: After the Centre's eight-point proposal to ease the Kashmir crisis, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) is making efforts with their own initiative. The CRPF has announced rewards for jawans who exercise restraint in the face of violent mobs.

To be able to control violent protests on the streets of Kashmir and to do it effectively without the use of violent means is a challenge. Hence to deal with the situation the CRPF has now come up with a reward policy - monetary incentives for its men who show restraint while facing violent mobs.

“We are giving out Rs 2500 for minor hurt and Rs 7500 to men with grievous injuries. This is not a compensation for their injuries. This is a reward for maintaining restraint,” said Special DG CRPF, J&K.

Even as the police and the CRPF claim that maximum restraint is being observed, there is no denying that over 100 people have died in Kashmir in the last three months. Forces claim that in extreme situations, extreme measures will be resorted to.

While security men have been criticised for use of excessive force on protestors, CRPF men say that they have also been the target of constant attacks from civilians. They claim that in the last three months, over 1,400 of CRPF men were injured and 50 base camps attacked.

Our men have been attacked inside their bunkers. Their vehicles have been set on fire. There have been incidents when they barely escaped,” said N.K. Tripathi Special DG, CRPF, J&K.

With rising incidents of stone pelting, CRPF men had earlier procured new protective anti-riot gear. It had also announced raising fresh battalions to deal specifically with stone pelters. The attempts that mark a beginning, may take some time to show real effect.
 
Now they will all love to be stoned! How absurd does it get!

Look at it this way, it was only because of their restraint that only 100 people got killed. The number could have run much higher had they not exercised this restraint.

After all it is very easy to lose restraint when you are being attacked with stones and bamboo sticks and you have all the means and legal protection to respond with lethal force and yet you choose not to.

It is very human to lose restraint you know.

So what I understand is that you think those protestors who are pelting stones or preventing kids from going to school are wrong, but it may happen because these protestors feel that these who go to school or whose parents send their kids to school are not appreciative of the "azadi struggle"?

I think that is foolhardy if you think that. And I would be surprised if the govt. actually belives that just by having kids going to school and colleges the problem will be solved.

Why fall into the "trap" of being shown as trying to keep Kashmiris illietrate so as to have easy control over them by opposing education in the first place? How can Geelani or the protestors be afraid that the same youth who took part in protests will now "betray" them by going to school? Its not going to reduce the sentiment just because they are going to school.

They can still have the regular protest calendars on weekends or school holidays or inother forms.
Your basic premise is wrong that the protest programe is foisted upon students against their will . Morever OCT -NOV is time for anual exams in Kashmir so what is the fun in getting Kids to school when they should be preparing for exams at home . If and when datesheets are anounced I'm sure Hurriyat will accomdate that in its protest Calender .

No I never said that at all. I said that in some cases this is happening. And not just in school cases but others aswell. Like stone pelting on shop owners who want to open their shops, on ambulances in some places as well as cases of stone pelting on public transport buses which was carrying passengers from Pakistani side of LoC.

It is happening in some cases and this is wrong. Because this is plain intimidation to the minority (as you are saying) that doesnot want to follow the protest prgram. If they are in a minority, why are the protestors afraid of these people not following the program?
 
The ways India finds for rewarding its murderous soldiers

That was moronic statement:
We actually are capitalist Gandhian's. few days later you would see the agitators getting this money and and then crap freedom movement is dead (as the old saying goes when money talks bull**** walks).

There is no organized targeting or intimidation but at local level people do get angry and sometimes it leads to violence and this is understandable because common people see these collaborators as deriving benefit from there misery
 
Thats pure propaganda, trying to give a bad name to people asking for freedom.. If Kashmir becomes a part of Pakistan and the majority of Kashmir want to be independant, Pakistan will not only let them but also aid in this. Even though in great number the people wanting to be free of both countires is low infront of those who want to annexate with Pakistan.
