Civilian Killings In The Valley<br />
Time and again two young lives fell to the<br />
bullets of the forces in Shopian. Army<br />
reportedly entered the village to remove the<br />
banners of the militants killed a few days back and<br />
faced resistance from the residents. The State<br />
Government has ordered a magisterial inquiry and<br />
lodged an FIR against the forces. The statements<br />
made by the politicians are simply an eyewash and<br />
have not at all discouraged the forces to stop such<br />
killings. They are saddists who enjoy the game of<br />
hunting and killing. There are a number of such FIRS<br />
and inquiries pending and have yielded nothing but<br />
dust. The loss of lives in such a manner are<br />
devastating and catastrophic in nature. Management<br />
of the conflict by dilly-dallying will not address the<br />
Kashmir issue but by prolonging the issue will make<br />
things worse day in and day out. It needs wisdom and<br />
statesmanship to take bold steps in resolving this<br />
issue peacefully, otherwise death trap will continue to<br />
invite poor Kashmiris without any end.<br />

J & K government unveils Rs 80k crore budget<br />
With multiple sops for farmers and industry, the Jammu<br />
Kashmir budget also introduced a slew of new initiatives<br />
and capital infusion in Central Cooperative Banks in<br />
the state besides various amnesties.<br />

It also introduced a slew of new initiatives<br />
and capital infusion in Central Cooperative<br />
Banks in the state besides various amnesties.<br />
"Despite being liberal, my budget numbers<br />
for the year 2018-19 are looking good. I<br />
propose to spend Rs 80,313 crore in the<br />
course of the year. Of this, Rs 29,128 crores<br />
is going to be the capital spending.<br />
"This is by far the highest capital spend in<br />
the economy of J&K," Finance Minister<br />

He proposed to raise about Rs 9,000 crore in<br />
the next financial year, Rs 331 crore higher<br />
than the last year.<br />
Speaking at a press conference, Drabu said:<br />
"It is a balanced budget with aim of<br />
restructuring, cleaning up, protecting<br />
industries, the welfare of employees serving<br />
in difficult conditions, addressing youth. It<br />
is generally a budget people call it election<br />
budget".<br />
Compared to last year, he said, the state will<br />
finance an additional capital expenditure of<br />
Rs 3,282 crore with an additional borrowing<br />
of only Rs 331 crore. "The incremental<br />
borrowing to capex ratio is 1:10. This must<br />
be the best ratio anywhere in the country."<br />
He said the revenue receipts position is<br />
looking even better. The aggregate revenue<br />
receipts are estimated to be Rs 64,269 crore<br />
compared to Rs 55,307 crore in the current<br />
financial year.<br />
The state's own tax revenue is estimated to<br />
be more than Rs 11,000 crore.<br />
"As a result, I am not leaving any funded gap<br />

29,128 crores of which Rs 5,500 crore for<br />
regular capex and Rs 10,423 crore under the<br />
Centrally Sponsored Scheme.<br />
"Reforms have now set the stage for<br />
meaningful public policy interventions. I<br />
can see green shoots of fiscal order because<br />
of the systematic changes made so far.<br />
Fiscal deficit previously estimated at around<br />
9.5 percent has actually turned out to be<br />
around 5.7 percent", he said.<br />
For Government Employees, the J&K<br />

opinion in Jammu & Kashmir would join the<br />
dialogue process initiated in the State.<br />
In her message to the people on the occasion of<br />
the 69th Republic Day, the Chief Minister said<br />
dialogue is the only way by which the culture<br />
of violence in the State could be ended. She<br />
said she has been pleading for initiation of<br />
dialogue in the State and expressed happiness<br />
that Centre, agreeing to her suggestion,<br />
appointed Mr. Dineshwar Sharma as the<br />
interlocutor for the State. She, however,<br />
maintained that the appointment of Mr. Sharma<br />
as the interlocutor is a major development to<br />
ensure durable peace in the State rather than a<br />
temporary measure to calm down tempers as<br />
happened in the past.<br />
Expressing concern on the obtaining situation<br />
along borders which has led to huge loss of life<br />
and property, the Chief Minister hoped Prime<br />
Minister, Narendra Modi, using his stature and<br />
wisdom, would pace up his efforts in this<br />
regard so that the State becomes a bridge of<br />
peace between the two countries, ending the<br />
bitter phase of acrimony between them.<br />
Noting with satisfaction that fascination for<br />
violence is declining among youth, Mehbooba<br />
Mufti said parents, friends and even social<br />
media are playing their role in dissuading them<br />
from slipping into a path where death and<br />
destruction are the only end results. She said<br />
though all over the world the ill effects of<br />
violence are fairly pronounced now, the people<br />
of Jammu & Kashmir have been the immediate<br />
witnesses and victims of violence.<br />
Terming peace imperative for executing<br />
While greeting the mammoth gathering, the Dy<br />
CM said that the Constitution of independent<br />
India came into existence on this day in the<br />
year 1950 which provides equal fundamental<br />
rights to every citizen of the country<br />
irrespective of caste, creed, colour or religion.<br />
While extending Republic Day felicitations to<br />
the people of Udhampur, Dr Singh said “After<br />
prolonged struggle for freedom, India declared<br />
to be Republic on this day to conserve the<br />
unique feature of unity in diversity. Thus, this<br />
day symbolizes unity in diversity of our great<br />
Nation,” he asserted.<br />
The Dy CM also commemorated the sacrifices<br />
of freedom fighters including Sardar Bhagat<br />
Singh, Raj Guru, Chander Shekhar, Madan Lal<br />
Dingra, Ashfaq-Ullah- Khan etc who laid<br />
down their lives for the nation. He said it is the<br />
duty of every citizen especially the youth to<br />
make Jammu and Kashmir proud by<br />
maintaining peace and upholding the unity in<br />
diversity. He said Jammu and Kashmir is a<br />
microcosm of India's unity in diversity and<br />
known for its glorious traditions of amity and<br />
tolerance.<br />
Thousands of security personnel were<br />
deployed in Srinagar and other district<br />
headquarters of Jammu and Kashmir to ensure<br />
a peaceful Republic Day amid a strike called<br />
by separatists. All programmes in the valley,<br />
including the main event in Srinagar, passed<br />
off peacefully.<br />
"The Republic Day functions at all district<br />
headquarters passed off peacefully," a senior<br />
police officer said.<br />
In the wake of a strike called by separatist<br />
groups, there was a complete clampdown in<br />
Kashmir. The separatists asked people observe<br />
January 26 as "Black Day", prompting security<br />
forces to enforce curfew-like restrictions to<br />
prevent any protests.<br />
Mobile phone and internet services were<br />

suspended ahead of the day's programmes.<br />
While blocking internet services has become<br />
routine on Republic Day, mobile phone<br />
services were snapped in all the 10 districts of<br />
Kashmir Valley after a long time to prevent<br />
security incidents.<br />
Earlier, the police had issued an advisory to all<br />
security formations, warning about a possible<br />
suicide attack by "a non-Kashmir girl".<br />
A senior officer, however, said the advisory<br />
political workers.<br />
Invitations were not extended to the general<br />
public due to a shortage of space at the<br />
makeshift venue, officials said.<br />
Various wings of police and school children<br />
participated in the parade. The students<br />
presented a colourful programme.<br />
In connection with celebration of 69th<br />

was "a knee-jerk reaction" to unsubstantiated<br />
reports that the girl had joined suicide squad of<br />
terrorist groups in the valley.<br />
The main official function was held at<br />
Srinagar's Sher-e-Kashmir Cricket Stadium,<br />
where Revenue Minister Abdul Rehman Veeri<br />
presided over the event.<br />
All roads leading to the stadium were sealed<br />
after intelligence inputs suggested the<br />
possibility that terrorists or other "antinational"<br />
elements may try to disrupt the event,<br />
officials said.<br />
Security forces had laid down a multi-layer<br />
cordon around the stadium. The stadium hosted<br />
the parade for the first time as the regular<br />
venue, Bakhshi stadium, is being renovated.<br />
Multiple checkpoints had been set up near the<br />
stadium.<br />

Kangri<br />
Unique and traditional Culture of Kashmir<br />
This Kashmiri proverb “What Laila was on Majnun's bosom (Legendary<br />
Lovers), so is the Kanger to a Kashmiri”, sums up the relationship between<br />
a Kashmiri and the Kanger and its cultural importance.<br />
Kifayat Hussainee<br />
ashmir is one of the most unique<br />
and beautiful parts of the world.<br />
No matter what season it is KKashmir has its own charm and beauty. As<br />
the winters approach Kashmir presents a<br />
different look which certainly has its due<br />
share of beauty and magnificence. There<br />
are aspects that upholds unique tradition<br />
and culture of Kashmir, one of them is the<br />
Kangri!<br />
Kangri is an earthen pot woven around<br />
with wicker filled with hot embers used by<br />
Kashmiris and beneath their traditional<br />
clothing to keep the chill at bay, which is<br />
also regarded as a work of art. Even in the<br />
times of science and technology where<br />
latest and novel innovation have been<br />
attempted to replace Kangri, kangri<br />
continues to be the most inexpensive and<br />
effective source of keep individuals warm<br />
during the chilly winters.<br />
Kangri is an indispensable winter<br />
accessory for a common Kashmiri. Kangri<br />
is not just a tool used for warmth during<br />
winters, it has its legacy and represents the<br />
rich and exquisite culture of Kashmir.<br />
Kangri has its importance and traditional<br />
backgrounds.<br />
This Kashmiri proverb “What Laila was on<br />
Majnun's bosom (Legendary Lovers), so is<br />
the Kanger to a Kashmiri”, sums up the<br />
relationship between a Kashmiri and the<br />
Kanger and its cultural importance, which<br />
is also shown by this verse:<br />
Ai Kangri! Ai Kangri!<br />
Qurban tu Hour wu Peri!<br />
Chun Dur Bughul Mi Girimut<br />
Durd az Dil mi buree.<br />
(Oh, kangri! oh, kangri!<br />
You are the gift of Houris and Fairies;<br />
When I take you under my arm<br />
You drive fear from my heart.)<br />
In winter it is almost impossible to get<br />
Kangri from someone who has it, in fact<br />
true love is sharing Kangri “Josh” with<br />
someone special.<br />

Darkness and Light<br />
Shantiveer Kauk<br />
“Zameen jumbad na jumbad Gul<br />
Mohammad” - somebody (who will have to<br />
remain unknown) attributed this quip to be<br />
about Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad, the<br />
second Prime Minister of Jammu &<br />
Kashmir. While the attribution was<br />
squarely misplaced - what with the fact<br />
that the quip is a Persian proverb and<br />
the Gul (not Ghulam) Mohammad of<br />
the said proverb, in all probability, an<br />
Afghan provincial Governor, it was<br />
also quite uncharitable as far as the<br />
persona of Ghulam Mohammad<br />
Bakshi is concerned. Bakshi Sahib's<br />
administration was known for two<br />
enduring qualities - its affirmative<br />
action as far as the poor and the<br />
disadvantaged commoners of the state<br />
were concerned, and the statewide<br />
development of infrastructure that has<br />
not been bettered in all of fifty-six<br />
years after he demitted office. Congress<br />
unleashed the Kamaraj Plan in 1963<br />
whereby Chief Ministers of several states<br />
and some Union Ministers were sidelined<br />
and replaced by more docile successors.<br />
Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad, although he<br />
was not formally a Congressman, faced the<br />
guillotine under this devious plan and made<br />
way for Khwaja Shamsuddin, being made to<br />
offer a token resignation to 'strengthen the<br />
hands of Pandit Nehru', as he was led to<br />
believe, which would not be accepted by the<br />
President. It was actually accepted by the<br />
President. This is but one example of the<br />
ham handed, if not downright unfair,<br />
manner in which New Delhi treated<br />
Srinagar over the years till the crows came<br />
home to roost. This point, of a strange<br />
14<br />
January 2018
involved. The 'political' positions of<br />
constituent parties of both Hurriyat<br />
conglomerates is often an extension of<br />
desultory pipe dreaming that used to be seen<br />
in the waiting areas of a barber's shop. There<br />
is hardly anything political about their<br />
positions, unless one characterises repeated<br />
boycott of practically everything as<br />
something political. Where intransigence<br />
and belligerence masquerade as politics,<br />
those who employ the same are not fit to sit<br />
on a political table. They are best left out of<br />
any attempt to thrash out a modus vivendi<br />
whereby the other stakeholders go home<br />
with the feeling of having got something out<br />
of negotiations among themselves. As far as<br />
getting the general Kashmiri public on board<br />
is concerned, a joint effort by India and<br />
Pakistan after having arrived at some kind of<br />
agreement will go a long way towards<br />
providing closure for Kashmiri public at<br />
large.<br />
India and Pakistan even after having fought<br />
so many wars and having maintained<br />
sustained hostility over Kashmir must have<br />
had moments of agreement on basic issues.<br />
The much talked about Musharraf-<br />
Manmohan conception that proved elusive<br />
when it was time for its delivery is a case in<br />
point. The future of any talks still lies in the<br />
same direction. Co-opting a ragtag group of<br />
entities without any mandate except that of<br />
fear will forever hold hostage even the<br />
slimmest prospect of any negotiation.<br />
However slim that prospect is, whatever the<br />
temperature on the border presently is or<br />
however vitiated the ground situation<br />
politically is - any hope of arriving at some<br />
kind of normality lies in negotiations<br />
between India and Pakistan without the<br />
deadweight of the spurious secessionist<br />
'politics' within Kashmir making it a non-<br />
starter. When there is seemingly no way<br />
forward, the only way is to chip away at the<br />
darkness hoping for a ray of light to break<br />
through.<br />
antipathy of the centre towards the state, is<br />
among other points that champions of<br />
secession routinely marshal as part of the<br />
justification for their stand. What escapes<br />
their attention (or is shoved under the carpet<br />
by them) is the fact that Kashmir - the<br />
problem as well as the geography - has itself<br />
become a 'Gul Mohammad'! Indeed, the<br />
earth itself may tremble but Kashmir<br />
appears to be politically as intractable as<br />
ever as far as the expressed wish-lists of all<br />
those having a stake in the present and future<br />
shape of things in Kashmir is concerned.<br />
Both Hurriyat conglomerates have often<br />
said that the 'sacrifice' of martyrs can't be<br />
allowed to go waste. The argument misses<br />
the mirror image of itself on the other side.<br />
Can India afford to let the death of thousands<br />
of its soldiers go waste? Can India really let<br />
go after having been massively invested in<br />
Kashmir for decades on end? Or, for that<br />
matter, will Pakistan resile from its position<br />
on Kashmir after having been similarly<br />
invested ever since 1947 in general and over<br />
the last three decades in particular? It is a nobrainer,<br />
really. Neither India nor Pakistan<br />
can realistically be expected to change even<br />
an iota of their respective baseline positions<br />
without serious existential problems.<br />
So much for the 'neither India, nor Pakistan'<br />
slogan, although the whole world long saw<br />
through that spurious position. For indeed,<br />
'Yeh toh sirf bahana hai, Rawalpindi jaana<br />
hai' was a popular ditty right in the beginning<br />
of the secessionist movement that gained<br />
critical momentum in 1990. Besides that, the<br />
self styled 'emir' of the movement Ali Shah<br />
Geelani has openly been rooting for the<br />
annexation of Jammu and Kashmir state by<br />
Pakistan, thus validating the unfinished<br />
agenda of the two nation theory. The trouble<br />
with this line of thinking is that no one baby<br />
can ever be delivered in instalments and<br />
hope to remain alive and kicking. It is better<br />
for conjoined babies to undergo a formal<br />
surgical separation even after nearly three<br />
quarters of a century, however painful it may<br />
be, to maximise the chances of survival of all<br />

Ransomware<br />
Malicious software for RANSOM<br />
A global problem which we face in every passing year ransomware used to spread<br />
current scenario is “RANSOMWARE”.A real with different tactics. Like in 2012 ransomware<br />
threat which can disrupt or affect you anytime variants played an audio recording using the<br />
and in any part of the world.Its attacks are victims native language and anot-her one<br />
independent of your profile as it never matters bearing a fake digital certificate.In late<br />
for the attacker's that who the host is.As the 2013,ransomw-are exhibited a new behavior<br />
attacks are globally random so anyone can have and was named as “cryptolocker”. In 2014<br />
the taste of it. “RANSOMWARE” is a type of TROJ_CRIBIT.A and TROJ_CRIBIT.B<br />
software,maliciously designed to attack the emerged. In 2015 ra-someware was spread by<br />
users and hijacks their computer. During the “Angler exploit kit”.In 2016 Locky(RAattack<br />
the files in the computer are encrypted NSOM_Locky.A) was discovered and in April<br />
and the access is denied to users unless and until 2016 “JIGSAW” e-merged with innovative<br />
they pay a “RANSOM”(money paid for the routine. In may 2017 malicious worm<br />
freeing of a hostage).Due to encryption of the “wannacry/WCRY” emerged to spread<br />
files,it can be practically impossible to reverse ransomware.The attack by RANSOMWARE<br />
or crack the files without the original encryption using wannacry began on Friday,12 may<br />
key which only the attackers have access to.The 2017.By and large over 200,000 victims and<br />
restoration of encrypted files is only possible on more than 300,000 computers got infected as a<br />
payment of large amount of money as per their outcome of this attack. There are no special<br />
demand.The m-otive for ransomware attack is means by which this worm spreads,it all h-<br />
monetary as this is the only atta-ck in which a appens in a usual way.when a user is operating<br />
victim is notified and than instructed for on a computer, he/she is always one or two clicks<br />
recovery. The attackers are much vigilant and away from this attack.Sourc-es of ransomware<br />
are capable to protect their criminal identity by infection are the same as for usual computer<br />
demanding virtual payment.To decrypt the viruses i.e through email attachments and<br />
encrypted files,ransomware demand $300-$600 infected files downl-oaded with multimedia<br />
via bitcoin crptocurrency.This is a cyber attack from malicious websites. Mostly 'phish-ing'<br />
in which “WANNACRY WORM” is used and technique was used to distribute this malware.In<br />
infiltration is done. The unwanted and harmful phishing a person receives email which seems<br />
attack initially started way back in 2005- from a trusted source.Whe- n a click is done on<br />
2006,when in Russia several cases of the link in the email, malware like ransomw-are<br />
ransomware infection were found for the first gets downloaded in the system. But on 12 may<br />
time.As per report published by 'trend micro' 2017 infecti-on was likely through an exposed<br />
about a ransomware case in 2006 in which a vulnerable SMB port rather than email phishing<br />
ransomware variant (TROJ_CRYZIP.A) zipped as initially assumed.Once executed in the<br />
some file types before overwriting the original system, ransomware either locks the computer<br />
ones.Initially particular file types like screen or encrypt predetermined files.In the<br />
Doc,XLS,JPG,ZIP,PDF were encrypted by screen lock case a full screen image or<br />
ransomware.But with the passage of time its notification is displayed on the infected systems<br />
ability to encrypt many different types of files screen which prevents the victim from using<br />
gained momentum. Initially limited to Russia, their system.In the encryption type ransomware<br />
ransomware soon found its way to other prevents a-ccess to files like documents and<br />
countries across Europe due to its popularity and spreadsheets. Ransomware is considered as<br />
profitable business model fro-m there on with “scareware” as it forces users to pay a fee or<br />

ansom by scaring or intimidating them.The<br />
matter of irony is that even on paying the<br />
demanding money,there is no gurantee that the<br />
screen will get unlocked or the files will be<br />
decrypted.It is very difficult to restore PC after<br />
ransomware at-tack.That is why the best<br />
solution for ransomware attack is to be safe on<br />
the Internet and with emails and online chat. We<br />
don't need to become a victim and should<br />
protect oursel-ves by taking certain simple<br />
steps in advance: Always keep a good antivirus<br />
utility and keep browsers updated. Keep<br />
browsers clean of junk toolbars to prevent the<br />
invasions that could lead to malware infection.<br />
Always be cautious about unexpected email<br />
attachments . Always keep a good back up<br />
system in place to recover files after getting<br />
infected without paying the ransom. The files<br />
which are backed up should be regularly<br />
scanned for viruses on another PC which is not<br />
infected. Create shadow volume copies which<br />
is part of windows system,it may also help in<br />
recovering some files ,if the malware hasn't<br />
deleted them. Make sure to remain vigilant in<br />
order to remain safe from these e- terrorist's and<br />
say no to ransom.<br />
