JAMMU, Apr 10: A meeting of the Executive Body of Ajit Colony Extension Welfare Committee was held under the chairmanship of its President Bhushan Lal Koul.
The members expressed distress over the neglect of their most genuine demands including construction of deep drains and black topping of the road and bylanes.
They said that this colony of ward 32 Jammu West has suffered a lot because of apathetic attitude of those at the helm of affairs as it never got a chance to taste the much-talked ‘fruit of development’. Erstwhile MLA was apprised of these demands dozen times but to no avail and even Advisor to Governor Kewal Kumar was also approached for redressal of these demands but so far nothing has been done in this regard, he added.
“Without drainage system, cleanliness can’t be maintained but unfortunately no drainage system was ever laid in the colony. The dilapidated condition of road where water collects in the potholes making both driving and walking risky”, Koul said, adding that a good number of students attend nearby SOS School and they have to face difficulties due to the worse road condition.
He stated that the only hope which remains for the residents is Governor who is being appealed to get their problems of laying of deep drains and black topping of road resolved. “We hope that we will be given an appointment to personally explain our problems”, he added.
Those who attended the meeting included Harbans Singh, Vice-President, Badri Nath Joshi, Treasurer, Amrik Singh, Pooja Rani, Krishna Devi, Ritu, Mamta, Avtar Singh, Jai Krishan, Gurdeep Singh, Ranjeet Singh, Surjeet Singh, Shringar Singh and Arun Mandal, Secretary.
