Jammu: A host of
challenges await Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah
who is expected to arrive here Wednesday after a nearly
10-day-long visit to Britain, party sources said Tuesday.
The National Conference leader had gone abroad to meet his mother
on Christmas.
During his absence, a section of media reported on an alleged
official communication of police hinting at an attempt by Health
Minister Sham Lal Sharma of the Congress, an alliance partner of
the National Conference government, to influence a probe into a
land dispute.
The controversy took a serious turn when the minister stopped
attending office after seeking an explanation on how the official
communication was leaked.
The sources said Sharma had been eagerly awaiting the chief
minister's return for early sorting out of the matter as Abdullah
also holds the home portfolio.
The severe chill and shortage of water and power in the Kashmir
Valley has also left people complaining about poor governance,
they said.
Communist Party of India-Marxist leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami
told a public meeting in Jammu Monday that "good governance under
the current dispensation has become a distant dream".
The sources said that Abdullah would be visiting the Valley and
would be there till the first week of January next year, attending
to the problems of the people.
