  • AFSPA Is a Great Issue for the Kashmiri, Not Art
    Interview AFSPA is a great issue for the Kashmiri, not Art. 370; 10-12 States enjoy similar protection: Moosa Raza, former J&K Chief Secretary SAPTARSHI BHATTACHARYA PDP supporters dancing during an election rally in Chadoora Budgam district central Kashmir on Saturday, April, 13, 2019. Photo: Nissar Ahmad The conflict in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) has seen many elections. The State sends six MPs to the 543-strong Lok Sabha but 'Kashmir' adds significantly to the electoral rhetoric of political parties that battle for power. In this General Election, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) pitched the abrogation of Article 370 and the terror attack in Pulwama to the centrestage of the election campaign. This in turn has resulted in shrill positions in the public domain. Moosa Raza, former Chief Secretary, J&K, who hails from Tamil Nadu, served as an Indian Administrative Service officer in Gujarat before being posted to J&K, and a Padma Bhushan awardee in 2010, is in conversation with Saptarshi Bhattacharya, Senior Coordinator, The Hindu Centre for Politics and Public Policy, Chennai, on the manner in which the Kashmir conflict in particular and Hindu-Muslim enmity in other parts of the country such as Gujarat, have been allowed to fester. Raza gives the historical backdrop and the political relevance of Articles 370 and 35-A, the steps that were proposed during his tenure as Chief Secretary to address the issues relating to the rise and spread of militancy, and the manner in which the decades-long conflict should be approached both by political leaders and the general public for effective conflict resolution.

  • 6. Water Quality ------61 6.1 Surface Water Quality Observations ------61 6.2 Ground Water Quality Observations ------62 7
    Version 2.0 Krishna Basin Preface Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS. India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india- wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning, development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by human interventions.
