Jammu loses Rs 28 cr by
one day bandh Excelsior Correspondent JAMMU, Oct 31: Voicing its seriouis concern over the frequent bandh calls in Jammu region, the Tax Payers Association of J&K today termed the bandhs as a curse for economy and called for other measures of highlighting the public resentment and grievances. These views were expressed by Messrs Pawan Kesar, senior vice president of the Association, Prof A N Sadhu and A K Khanna its two members at a joint press conference here this afternoon who said Rs 28 crore per day business is lost by a bandh call in Jammu. Opposing the bandh calls Mr Kesar said the entire economy activity of the region comes to a stand still with a bandh and this way the business community is affected totally. It has become a trend to give a bandh call without thinking that how serious economic drawbacks it will have on the region, he said, adding if this is not checked we will be wiped of tourism especially religious tourism. "We are controlled by hooligans and due to their terror we do no dare to open out business houses," he said, "adding we appreciate the concern of the person giving the bandh call for the society and the region but the next morning the most of them forget the same concern after finding their names in the headlines of news papers". He said "by giving a bandh call frequently we are serving the enemy who is bent upon to cripple our economy and we should not allow him to succeed in his designs," he added. He said what we are achieving by giving the bandh calls after darbar move. Our works get hampered as we cannot pursue them in Secretariat when the offices are at our door steps, he added. He said first the organizations which are giving the bandh call are themselves divided over the issue and if all the persons, the parties and associations are really interested to do some thing for society, they should unitedly chalkout the problems faced by the public and devise ways and means for their redressal. He said instead of a bandh call, the other means of expressing the grievances like organization of peace marches and human chins, wearing of black badges and displaying banners be adopted. It should be followed by a protest march towards the residences of Governor and Chief Minister in a democratic and civilized way. He said the non cooperation can be another option in case these peace marches fail to yield results. Denying that the Association was a subsidiary of the Chamber of Commerce, Prof A N Sadhu said apart from speaking about tax our Association also talks about the social issues. He while opposing the bandh calls said "this way we are serving those who have placed us in this position. They want us to do these things and give a setback to our economy, he added. Prof Sadhu said besides the bandh causes a lot of inconvenience to pilgrims visiting the Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine from different corners of the country who feel harassed by these bandh calls and hence it kills the basic purpose of the bandh. Calling for withholding of taxes and other revenue to Government as an alternative method of protest to highlight the grievances, Mr A K Khanna said we pay taxes for our betterment to get some basic amenities in lieu of it from the Government. But the basic problem we face is that of electricity. This problem has not been solved and the reason is not that there is shortage of power but the State Government does not want to pay money to Centre, he added. |
