JAMMU, Aug 25: Former minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla has alleged that administrative machinery has virtually paralysed and faith of the common man has shaken after the coming of the new Government in the State.
While interacting with aggrieved persons of Narwal Bala in Gandhi Nagar constituency here today, Bhalla said that the Government has failed to deliver on all fronts and mitigating the problems of erratic power and drinking water supply, dilapidated roads, malfunctioning of utility service, non-availability of ration at the Government depots and worst condition of health and hygiene in Jammu region.
Bhalla expressed concern over long power curtailment and said that it has hit the water supply as well, as a result of which the people of the entire constituency are made to fend for themselves during the ongoing hot and humid conditions. He said the water logging due to few hours rains exposed the tall claims of Govt. The Government has not learned lessons from problems faced during monsoon season last year. Due to absence of any exigency plan, the situation becomes beyond control at times.
Due to lack of political direction and infighting between the coalition partners as a result of their inherent contradictions, the administration seems to be unbridled that is a cause of concern for people whose grievances remain unresolved. Bhalla referred to denial of sugar to the rationees for the past several months, saying that the ration available at the Government depots is mostly not fit for human consumption.
Bhalla expressed dissatisfaction over steps taken by the administration in combating price rise or making utility services functional to the satisfaction of people. “The health and hygiene has become a big causality due to administrative apathy”, he added.
Bhalla said that BJP has been exposed before the masses and there was no taker of the hallow nationalist slogans of party ministers because they have been exposed during their silence on the important issues concerning people of Jammu region. He regretted that instead of addressing basic problems of the people, BJP has been indulging into deceptive tactics to befool the people.
