Says no place for violence

Fortaleza, July 16: Pitch-ing for 'zero tolerance" against terrorism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday told leaders of five-nation grouping BRICS that the "choices" they make now will shape the future of the world at large. Addressing the summit of Brazil-Russia-India-Chi-na-South Africa in For-

taleza, he noted that the region stretching from Afghanistan to Africa is

"experiencing turbulence and conflict" and "re-maining mute spectators to countries being torn up can have grave conse-quences". Modi, who is attending the Summit for the first time, said, "I firmly be-lieve that terrorism, in any shape or form, is against humanity. There should be zero tolerance towards terrorism". He underlined that the "choices we make now will shape the future of not just our countries,

but the world at large". The Prime Minister

Frequent road accidents are claim-ing hundreds of precious lives every year in our state, but even all this is happening, the state machinery is perhaps insensitive to these matters and does not awaken to take some concrete steps to avoid such fatali-ties. The Srinagar- Jammu National Highway, Batote- Doda-Kishtwar, Jammu- Rajouri and other roads have become man-eater as every al-ternate day news of accidents pour in. Except tall claims, condolences and announcement of ex-gratia relief, the state govt. does not take stringent steps to minimize the occurrence of frequent accidents.

BRICS coun-tries, Modi said, should take a lead in preserving cy-ber space as a global common good. Modi also pushed for an "open, rule-based, interna-tional trading regime", saying it is critical for global economic growth. "It (global economic growth) must address aspirations of developing world" and "accommodate the special needs of the most vulnerable sections of our societies, especially in such areas as food security," the Prime Minister said.

But for Jammu and Lada-kh no such advisory is issued.”Reports maintained that as around 8000 Israeli tourists visit Jammu and Kashmir every year and also huge visits were made by the Israeli nationals even during the 1990. The only attack on Israelis was in 1991, when a tourist, Erez Ka-hane, was killed in a scuffle with militants after seven backpackers were kidnapped from a houseboat in Sri-nagar. The hostages fought back and snatched auto-matic weapons from the militants, killing two of them in the struggle. Hundreds of students in Srinagar took to streets- protesting against the Israeli strikes in Gaza from the last few days. Kashmir’s pro-freedom camp here also called for the protests against the Gaza crises. Students of various schools and colleges took to streets in the past-raising slogans against Israel and America. The students also expressed deep con-cern over the silence of the world community over the crises stating that they are equally responsible for the crimes. (KNS)

Consider making some plans for a vacation or short getaway, Libra. Looking forward to something fun can make even the tough-est of days far easier to handle. You’ll be amazed how much you can manage when there’s an end in plain sight. Your entire attitude can lighten. So take the bull by the horns and create an incentive for yourself. Do something special to reward the hard work you do day after day.

Don’t judge someone if he or she has a different lifestyle than what you consider to be OK, Scorpio. You probably lean toward the traditional, yet not everyone feels this way about re-lationships, working, or lifestyle. While it may seem impossible to understand and even frighten you, try not to be too harsh on those you deem odd. You’d be better off using that energy to keep your own life on track.

Friends seeking advice or a shoulder to cry on could be plentiful today, Sagittarius. You’re one of best people to give them the support and care they need. Just be sure that you don’t give so much to others that you don’t have anything left for yourself. True friendship is about sharing and the exchange of problems and help. Running yourself down will leave you in a place where you aren’t going to be much help to anyone.

Getting through today shouldn’t pose too big a problem for you, Capricorn. You may feel a huge second wind that can give you the drive and determination to see your chores and projects through. Make some plans for this evening, such as getting to-gether with friends or taking in an event that really intrigues you. Until then, go about your tasks bit by bit. You’ll get things finished before you know it.

Working within boundaries and restrictions could really get to you today, Aquarius. Yours is an independent spirit and your best achievements are often born of doing things your own way. Yet like it or not, we all have to follow guidelines and rules. Do your best to follow suit and finish what needs to be done. Afterward, you may find more freedom to act independently without consequences. Exercise patience and diligence as needed today.

Chances are that you’ll feel upbeat and positive today, Pisces. Consider sharing this energy with those around you who are feel-ing less than content. Your attitude can have a profound effect on friends, partners, spouses, and children. Even neighbors and ex-tended family can pick up on your spirit without you even real-izing it. Share your optimism with everyone you can today. If you see someone hurt or angry.

Feeling the effects of today’s energies, Virgo? Take heart if this is the case, because the end of the tunnel isn’t as far away as it seems. Do your best to take things one step at a time and see about making some plans for a little fun this evening. Get together with friends or take in a movie. Help yourself feel better by staying busy and focused and follow up with some recreation. Before you know it, the aspect will pass and you’ll be back to normal.

Don’t discount your ability to be extremely resourceful if you need to be, Aries. If you don’t have everything you need or all of the required information, take time to think. Who can you ask? What places can you access? Who might know where you can find what you need? Rather than panic because the pieces aren’t all there, instead make a list of contacts and go for it. Trust in yourself.

Try not to let today’s blues get you down, Taurus. While it’s true that some days can seem to drag on, the busier you are the faster time will pass. Get down to finishing any work still before you and then make plans for tonight. If there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, not only will things seem to speed up but you’ll feel better knowing it’s coming.

Dare to be different, Gemini. It can be so easy to fall into a drill. Sleeping at the same time, eating at the same time, wearing the same style, and going about work the same way day after day. Be-fore you know it, you feel like you’re in a rut. The only way to get away from this is to make a decision to break free by doing some-thing unique. Try a new haircut. Wear colors that are unusual for you. If the need is there, consider a new career. Pursue expansion.

If your lifestyle is considerably different than that of others, re-sist feeling self-conscience about it today, Cancer. Try to remember that you chose the life you have for specific reasons. Even if you’ve come to a point where you’re considering a change, there’s no need to feel badly, ashamed, or embarrassed about where you are now. Everyone has to make his or her own way. If this conforms to the norm, that’s fine. If it doesn’t, that’s fine, too.

An enhanced feeling of determination could motivate you today, Leo. Finish the things that aren’t complete and make some plans for this evening. Don’t hesitate to take on something that feels compli-cated or big. Chances are you’ll be able to handle most anything and it will feel great when it’s finished. Enjoy your day by making the most of opportunity.

Frequent road accidents—a

matter of grave concern

“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.”

Quote of the day

Robert Frost

Frequent road accidents are claiming hundreds of precious lives every year in our state, but even all this is happening, the

state machinery is perhaps insen-sitive to these matters and does not awaken to take some concrete steps to avoid such fatalities. The Srinagar- Jammu National High-way, Batote- Doda-Kishtwar, Jam-mu- Rajouri and other roads have become man-eater as every alter-nate day news of accidents pour in. Except tall claims, condolenc-es and announcement of ex-gratia relief, the state govt. does not take stringent steps to minimize the occurrence of frequent accidents. The number of vehicles is increas-ing with every passing day,thanks to the lack of vision, corruption and political interference, but the roads are the same as they were two or three decades back. Though some widening has taken place on these roads, but the dan-gerous portions, blind corners and slippery stretches are in the same condition as they were previous-ly. It will not require big financial deal if steel barricades are erect-ed at these vulnerable points, but who will bell the cat? The vehicles running on the roads are in such a bad condition that they should have immediately been taken off the roads and condemned years back. However, not only these old vehicles ply on the roads, but those vehicles have been put into ser-vice which were banned and con-demned in Delhi or other cities of the country. The drivers who ply these vehicles manage to acquire their hill driving licenses by cor-rupt means or most of them even does not posses licenses. There is no proper checking by any traffic controlling agency including Traf-fic Police, as it has been observed that these untrained drivers , majority of them even minors, use mobiles excessively while driving. Overloading is one more menace which is becoming a main reason for fatal accidents. The authorities only announce plans and mechanism but never make any serious attempt to do some-thing effective and positive so that dozens of precious lives could be saved. There has been a talk to in-troduce small transport buses, but so far the proposal has remained a dream which has never come true. A former DGP recently and rightly commented that road ac-cidents claim more lives than mil-itancy related violence. Can the authorities do something to stop these fatal accidents?
