KATHUA, Nov 1: Holding State regime responsible for its failure to initiate the infrastructure development of Sub-District Hospital, Hiranagar, and other public issues Congress activists staged protest demonstration in front of SDM Office under the leadership of District Congress Committee president former MLC, Subash Gupta.
Subash Gupta while addressing the protesters said that escalating hardships of public and lackadaisical attitude of the Government towards the redressal of the problems had proved that the State coalition had turned Nelsons’ eye towards public.
He said that former Union Health Minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad announced expansion of 30-bedded hospital, to 100 bedded and as part of this, he released token money of Rs 80 lakh in year 2013, which is lying with the R&B Department.
Showing strong resentment for PDP-BJP Coalition Governments’ failure in restoring water, power and ration supply in different parts of the district, Gupta also said that Government has totally failed in providing basic amenities to people. He also said that repair of deep drilled hand pumps, allotment of at least 5-marlas plot to the people residing on the border at safer places, widening of two narrow bridges falling on Hiranagar to Hiranagar Morh road, initiation of balance work for completion of Children Park near Higher Secondary School Hiranagar are some other main demands.
Subash Gupta summoning up Congress party as secular and believing in moving ahead with the people of all religions, castes and groups said that Narendra Modi and his party carries no productive and secular vision to unite the country’s population which has a large diversity. He appealed party activists to remain united and propagate the party policies amongst public.
Gupta raising alarm warned of intensifying struggle if Government fails to fulfill the demands.
