SRINAGAR, July 13: Senior vice-president of People’s Conference (PC) and former minister Abdul Gani Vakil today said that promises made by Union Territory Government for the unemployment youth have proved to be hoax pushing the youth to the wall.
Addressing several meetings at Tarzoo, Hardushiva and Lalad in Sopore and Drusu as well as Hadipora in Rafiabad, Vakil said promises and claims made by the Government for thousands of educated youth have not yielded any results so far.
The senior leader said although different departments had notified several posts for which unemployment youth applied but their application forms were thrown in dustbin and no progress has been seen in this regard and the recent SI recruitment scam has again left youth of the UT high and dry.
Hitting out at the poor development, Vakil stated that UT administration has failed in all aspects to provide any relief to poor people especially in developmental aspect. “The developmental works at the grass root level have been left incomplete due to non seriousness and incompetence of the Government although the meetings are being held and statements are being issued on developmental,” Vakil added.
“The condition of road is same as they were. There is lack of basic facilities including drinking water shortage, electricity and poor treatment in Government hospitals but the administration is doing nothing on the ground,” the former Minister said and urged the UT administration to come out with a concrete job policy for the unemployed youth so that they cannot suffer anymore and will come close to mainstream.
“Once the employment opportunities are created, the youth would be converged towards the Government, which is the need of the hour,” he added.
Besides others who addressed the meetings include Sarpanch Fayaz Ahmad Naikoo, Raees Ahmad Sheikh, Gulam Nabi, Nazir Ahmad Bhat, Nazir Ahmad Dar and Muzzaffar Naikoo.
