UDHAMPUR, Apr 18: Senior leader Pawan Khajuria today expressed deep concern over the poor condition of the Udhampur city.
Khajuria addressed a press conference in the presence of local residents and social activists, who also voiced their strong resentment regarding the city’s basic issues.
Addressing the conference, he said that Udhampur city has been struggling with a severe crisis of basic amenities for nearly 20 years, yet no concrete and permanent solution has been found so far.
Khajuria said that the biggest issue is the drinking water crisis, which has remained unchanged for years. During summers, the situation becomes even worse, forcing people to depend repeatedly on water tankers to meet their needs. In many areas, water supply remains disrupted for weeks, severely affecting daily life.
He also expressed concern over the dilapidated condition of roads, stating that neither proper construction nor timely maintenance has been carried out in the past two decades.
“Potholes at various places have made the roads dangerous, leading to frequent accidents. School children and the elderly, in particular, face great difficulties,” he said.
Khajuria demanded immediate and concrete action from the administration and warned that if the issues are not resolved soon, people will be forced to take to the streets in protest, for which the administration will be responsible.
Among others who were present on the occasion included Rakesh Gupta, Rajkumar Bucha, Sanjay Verma, Advocate Rikki, Rajkumar Khokhar, Gagan Sharma, Rohit Sarmal, Sunny Kalsotra, Ankush Sharma, Naresh Kumar and Rachhpal Singh.
