| Bus Stand shops
submerged in stinking water Excelsior Correspondent JAMMU, Oct 27: The shopkeepers in JDA building Bus Stand are up in arms against the authorities which have till date failed to restore the blockage in a drainage pipe that has resulted into the accumulation of all drainage water in front of the shopping complex. These shopkeepers numbering 20 have threatened agitation in case the JDA authorities will not take immediate steps to restore the blocked pipe and maintain the proper sanitation in the Bus Stand Complex. According to the shopkeepers the problem erupted last week after the outlet drainage pipe in the JDA building got blocked and the urine and drainage water of the bathrooms seeped into the shopping complex compound affecting them worstly. Expressing their concern over the callousness of the JDA authorities who they allege are reluctant to remove the blockage, the shopkeepers are apprehensive that the epidemic will hit the complex in case immediate steps were not taken for maintaining the proper sanitation in the complex. The condition in the entire Bus Stand has become so chaotic that people have to cover their nose while going to counters to seek a bus ticket or inquire about the bus timings. They have also to pass through knee deep water to reach the counter. The prevailing insanitation conditions have become a cause of concern for the inmates as they have to pass through knee deep water while coming out of the complex or going inside it. We have made a number of representations to the concerned authorities but they have turned a deaf year to our request says Yaqoob whose shop is submerged into the stinking water. Our business has totally been affected during this week as no customer is ready to come to our shops which are submerged in the drainage water emitting foul smell, said Sanjeev Gupta another shopkeeper. It is a pity that the Jammu Development Authority is not taking the care of the Bus Stand where thousands of Yatris from other states are visiting daily to board the buses for holy Shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi, Mr Gupta alleged. He said what impression these pilgrims will have about the administration which has failed to maintain the proper sanitation even at the Bus Stand. The insanitation condition has become so acute that a water cooler which has been installed for drinking water in ground floor of the building is also submerged in drainage water. Jogi Kumar another shopkeeper said that some lady passengers fell down after they slipped on the wet floor on Sunday and one among them was injured. He said the shopkeepers have engaged the sweepers two times by themselves to clean the area but how far we can do on our own. |

| Purkhoo Phase
3rd inmates allege harassment by relief officials Excelsior Correspondent JAMMU, Oct 27: Even after the nine years of their turmoil the woes of the migrants putting up at Purkhoo Phase third have not diminished. The migrants who have been alloted the newly constructed tenements by the State Minister of Relief and Revenue, Mr Safdar Ali Beg three months back are facing the persecution through the hands of the relief officials. According to these camp inmates, the relief officials instead of looking into the daily problems are trying to intimidate and harass them. They alleged that some of the inmates are also facing the eviction threat. Despite bringing the matter in the notice of the Relief and Revenue Minister, Mr Ali Mohammad Naik regarding the highhandedness of the relief officials, the Government has so far failed to take action against them, alleged Mrs Mohni Bhan a social worker. Narrating their tale of woes the camp inmates said that they are not being allowed to create barricades in front of quarters to prevent the entry of snakes and scorpions in to the quarters. Migrants in all the camps have created such barricades in front of their quarters and there was no objection from the relief agencies so far and it is the first occasion in last nine years that my husband was not only harassed but also roughed up by the relief officials for this act, said Mrs Mohni Raina, Wife of Bhushan Lal. Mohni who is a heart patient said that all her pleas failed to pacify the officials who not only dismantled the wall but also beat my husband a cronic patient who has just been discharged from the All India Medical Institute after undergoing a surgery there. They also misbehaved with women said another migrant lady, Nirmala Devi. I was slapped by a relief official in front of his superior officers and my husband beaten mercilessly, she added. She said my husband paid Rs 5000 for allotment of the room and 5000 for bifurcation of the joint family ration card to he concerned officials. Now they are demanding more Rs 2000 from me to issue the allotment order. We have no money to pay the more bribe as we hardly make our both ends meet on the monthly cash assistance of Rs 1800. Previously during the allotment of the quarter and bifurcation of family ration card I sold my ornaments, she added. Challenging the legal and illegal occupation of quarters, Mohan Lal another camp inmate said, he who bribes the relief officials is a legal occupant and he who not is an illegal one. Mohni Bhan while expressing her anguish over the slapping of women by relief officials said their behavior has generated a lot of resentment among the women folk. Mohni said she will lead a delegation of women to Parliament House and stage dharna there against the atrocities of relief officials against the women folk. |
