JAMMU, Dec 29: Questioning the claims of the ruling leaders about progress and developmental activities, the former Union Minister and MLA Prof Chaman Lal Gupta alleged that much of the parleys have been held up but for political considerations and mis- governance.
Responding to the complaints of the activists of his Jammu West Assembly constituency regarding deteriorated conditions of the roads, lanes and nallahs, Prof Chaman Lal Gupta observed that this sad situation is a clear aspersion on the functioning of the State Coalition Government, which is guided by more of political considerations rather than sincerity to have development and find out solution to the problems facing the people.
This is not only depriving the people of the benefits of these schemes but also crores of public funds are going to the drains. In this regard, he particularly referred to the execution of introducing of sewerage system in this city, construction of convention complex, artificial take on Jammu Tawi etc.
Gupta pointed out the construction of a bridge on the Ravi at Basohli coupled with the Basohli -Bani – Bhaderwah Road are of great importance on many accounts including the defense, connectivity, tourism and over all development of the backward areas but these two major schemes are lingering on for not only years but decades now.
What to say of the major projects, even the small works under the constituency development fund (CDF) have been held up for the past several months now due to which an awful situation is being created all around obviously under a design, he rued.
