JAMMU, Feb 12: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Jammu & Kashmir General Secretary and former Deputy Mayor Jammu, Baldev Singh Billawaria today visited Nai Basti Market in Ward No. 23 and interacted with members of the Market Association, shopkeepers and local residents.
During the visit, he listened in detail to the concerns raised by the public regarding basic amenities, pending development works and issues related to custodian land.
Representatives of the Nai Basti Market Association strongly demanded the construction of a community bathroom in the market area.
They stated that Nai Basti Market is a busy commercial hub where a large number of people from distant areas come for shopping.
In the absence of public toilet facilities, shopkeepers, women, elderly citizens and visitors face significant inconvenience, which also affects the image and functioning of the market.
Taking serious note of the grievances, Billawaria assured the public that all genuine demands would be addressed on priority.
He said, “The issues of Nai Basti Market are real and directly linked to public welfare and therefore require urgent attention.”
Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Swachh Bharat Mission, the BJP leader said that the Prime Minister has clearly emphasized that cleanliness and basic amenities are the right of every citizen and it is the responsibility of the government to ensure the strengthening of community toilets and sanitation infrastructure, especially in urban and densely populated areas.
He further assured that the matters concerning the construction of a community bathroom, issues related to custodian land and pending development works would be effectively taken up with the local MLA and the concerned departments to ensure their early resolution.
