Lashkar module busted, 7 held

The Jammu and Kashmir police on Tuesday claimed it has busted a terror module of Lashkar-e-Tayyaba after it arrested seven of its members, all local residents, from north-western Sopore area whereas a massive manhunt has been launched for their accomplice, including a Pakistani national.
The police claimed that it was because of the inputs received from the Sopore residents about the activities of the module members that it has been able to lay its hands on them. “The police is grateful to the people of the area who have provided timely inputs that led to the arrest of this terrorist gang and thus major tragedy was averted,” a police handout issued here said.
The area SP said with the assistance of other security forces the Sopore police has, after busting what essentially was a recruitment module of the Lashkar, averted “a major terror and subversion plan” of the outfit. The arrested members, he said, were recruited into the outfit with the “aim of building a network of LeT operatives who were bent upon executing terrorist actions in and around Sopore.”

Suspected Islamic militants shot dead two policemen in two separate sneak attacks in south Kashmir on Tuesday.
The militants also took the service weapon of one of the slain policemen with them and fled the scene.
The police said gunmen shot at and critically wounded police constable Dalber Singh at the main square of the highway town of Rajpora in Pulwama district.
He was rushed to Srinagar’s government-run SMHS Hospital where he succumbed.
In the evening, another Jammu and Kashmir policeman was slain by gunmen in similar fashion in the neighbouring Kulgam district.
The police said that constable Mukhtar Ahmed Butt was shot at from point-blank range near Yaripora in Kulgam at the time when deputy chief minister was in the town on an official visit and security had been beefed up.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
