         Talks on Wullar Barrage deadlocked 
        New Delhi, June 29 
        The two-day Water Resources Secretaries-level talks between India and Pakistan on Wullar Barrage/Tulbul navigation project in Jammu and Kashmir, which ended here today, proved to be a dialogue of the deaf as the two sides differed from each other on fundamental positions
        and rejected each other’s key suggestions.

        Trudging miles to reach their destination 
        Karchham (Kinnaur), June 29 
        Ever since the Sutlej fury cut off key road links, it has been a
        “walkathon” for residents of this remote region of Himachal Pradesh.
        They are trudging miles on foot to reach their destinations. They are
        either in groups or in pairs with luggage in their hands and very little
        water to drink.
