Srinagar In an indication of the improvement that has taken place in this insurgency-hit state, there were no security restrictions in Srinagar on Tuesday when Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah went around the city for seven hours reviewing various developmental projects.

"There were no traffic disruptions and people wanting to meet him had free access to the Chief Minister," officials accompanying Abdullah said.

They said the CM had issued specific instructions that traffic should not be stopped while he travelled around the city so that commuters were not put to any trouble anywhere.

Abdullah was freely accessible to the people during his day-long hectic tour which saw him visiting various areas including Ganderbal and Budgam districts to take stock of a number of ongoing projects.

This was for the first time in years that a Chief Minister had made such a detailed non-stop inspection of development projects in the city and its suburbs, the officials said.

The CM set deadlines for completion of each of the projects he visited and issued instructions that they be strictly adhered to.

Omar no security by P Setra on 18 Feb 2009

It would take only one bad element to screw up the plans he may have.Even Pakistan had a leader's life cut short by those type of elements. He must have security. If he wants to accomplishsomething himself.

No security curbs as Omar goes around Srinagar by Dr. Vimla Raje on 18 Feb 2009

Agreed India is now a superpower and also a great democracy. Like any great democracy she (India) must see to it that all the minorities who have been uprooted from the Vale of Kashmir return with dignity, protection and self-respect. In addition all the occupied properties of the minorities should be returned to the rightful owners. Then only Indian leaders can claim to be evenhanded and that is true secularism.

If he is as sincere as he appears to be. I would like him to be considered for the Prime Minister post in lieu of Rajiv Gandhi.

With what is happening in Pakistan, no sensible Kashmiri will want to be a part of that mess and nightmare that is Pakistan. Taliban will attack and take over an independent Kashmir. therefore, for any sensible kashmiri, the future liess with India. That realization is reflected in the election participation and improved peace. However, Mr. Abdulla must be vigilant about his personal security as the terrorists do not like peace, and they do not like India.

This is the main criterion for a truly secular state.
