Tarkundi (Poonch): Samim Bir lives barely 50 metres away from the border fence at the Line of Control (LoC).
His village, Tarkundi, has only two houses and six voters. Despite that, a polling station has been set up for the families at the LoC to allow them to exercise their right to vote.
"For six people we have a polling station. This is called democracy," says Tarkundi sarpanch Lal Hussain.

NEW DELHI: The authorities that built the third runway at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport claim it's India's longest - but it's a
credit that remains on paper because of a curious problem.
For all practical purposes, the runway is today India's seventh longest, as almost a quarter of it is unusable.
The IGI's new runway, rechristened (29/11), is touted as India's longest air

New Delhi: A 62-foot idol of Shiva, standing very near the mouth of the third runway at Delhi airport — purportedly the longest in the country — has lopped off more than half the landing strip’s usable stretch as pilots now have to keep the statue in mind before beginning the final descent for touchdown.
The statue, pilots have said, springs up in the funnel area of landing, or the threshold from

A ‘portable’ home, which can stroll at a walking pace across all terrains, may help deal with problems like floods and unfriendly neighbours in the future.
The prototype ‘Walking House’ uses six hydraulic legs that give it mobility. It has a living room, kitchen, toilet, bed, and even a wood stove. A mainframe computer helps control the house’s legs.

England shooter James Huckle emerged as the first athlete to complete a hat-trick of gold medals at CYG. The seventeen-year-old bagged his third gold in the 10 metres air rifle event yesterday.
But it was his gold medal win in the 50 metres 3-position event on Wednesday that has caused much surprise and hard-to-believe kind of a feeling.
The shooter should have been awarded the gold medal at the
