...crowd of unarmed civilians. That, at least, must have been the hope of every resident who defied an army-enforced curfew in the Kashmiri town of Sopore last Thursday to protest a massacre that left 55 people dead and scores injured.

Although the parties have considerably narrowed the gap with regard to wages for the first year of the new contract, substantial differences remain with regard to the wage package for the full three-year term of the contract...
