No Cabinet reshuffle soon Omar

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said no Cabinet reshuffle would take place at the moment and described the speculation as a 'rumour'. "There will be no Cabinet reshuffle at the moment. It is just a rumour," Abdullah told reporters at the sidelines of a foundation laying ceremony of Jammu and Kashmir State Data Centre (JKSDC) in Civil Secretariat premises here this evening. "Both National Conference and coalition partner Congress have to discuss the issue. I represent both of them and have to think over the matter when it comes to me," he asserted.

The Chief Minister said his government has completed three years and their performance was being assessed from time to time.Lauding the role of his Ministers,he said, "Each Minister of my Cabinet has played his/her role for thefirst three years. The government and the Ministers have done their job well." The performances would be reviewed and a final decision  would be taken thereafter, he added. On blocked Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, Abdullah said the road has been thrown open for stranded passengers and light motor vehicles followed by heavy vehicles. Earlier, laying the foundation, he said the state Government has initiated a programme of establishing Data Centres to provide core infrastructure for supporting e-governance, making service delivery to people fast and to the point. Underlining e-governance essentially important for making administration prompt on service delivery to the people, Abdullah also highlighted its significance in ensuring good governance and curbing malpractices."The State Data Centre would act as a central repository of the state providing secure data storage, disaster recovery and remote management functions," he added."These services would be extended to government agencies, citizens and business through the connectivity infrastructure to be rolled out as State Wide Area Network (SWAN)," he said.
