Fresh spell of snowfall in Kashmir

Srinagar, March 11 (ANI): A fresh spell of snowfall enveloped Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, plummeting temperature and forcing people to remain indoors. Trees, roads and rooftops of houses in mountainous regions were covered with snow. The fresh snowfall however, will help maintain the water-level in rivers and will boost the production of fruits and crops. Normal life in many parts of north India has also been adversely affected due to the harsh weather conditions. March is generally the month for snow to melt; but with the fresh snowfall even at the onset of the third month, the temperature has again dropped in many northern states such as Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and New Delhi.

PM Manmohan Singh and PM Sheikh Hasina meet at BIMSTEC, reiterate friendly ties

New Delhi, March 10 (ANI): Prime Ministers of India and Bangladesh met recently in the Burmese capital of Nay pyi taw and reiterated the warm and friendly ties that the two neighbouring countries share. On the sidelines of the BIMSTEC summit, Manmohan Singh met PM Sheikh Hasina and conveyed to her that a pact on the Teesta water sharing was an intricate issue but one which India was in favour of signing. The Teesta River is said to be the lifeline of Sikkim, flowing for almost the entire length of the state. The river forms the border between Sikkim and West Bengal before joining the Brahmaputra as a tributary in Bangladesh. Manmohan Singh also congratulated his Bangladeshi counterpart on her victory in the last general elections and assumption of office of the prime minister for a third time. Mar 10, 2014
