Ineffective
The developmental measures introduced, and on the anvil, for Jammu and Kashmir (Page 1 and Editorial, both April 25) might reduce Dilli ki doori (distance from Delhi) but it remains a billion dollar question whether they would reduce dil ki doori (distance from the heart). The Prime Minister knows, or must know, that “Man doesn’t live by bread alone”. The hostility towards the present dispensation lingers... even the promise of the restoration of statehood remains a mirage.
