UDHAMPUR, June 18: Former Minister and DPAP Jammu province President Jugal Kishore Sharma along with District President Ashwani Khajuria and State Secretary Priti Khajuria today visited Block Pancheri and met locals.
During the visit, the DPAP leaders met the people of Kainthkali, Pancheri, Mir, Laddeyar, Katti, Landar, Karcha, Badota, Sadota, Godnu, Malti and Ruhanipat villages and listened to their grievances. They observed that due to the extremely bad condition of the road from Kanthkali to Pancheri Landar, common masses of the area are suffering badly. The availability and condition of transport is also very bad and the students face many problems in coming to Udhampur for higher education.
“If someone falls ill, it takes a lot of time to reach Udhampur hospital and sometime the patient dies on the way. There is a huge power cut with no electricity meters and on the other hand, J&K Government is handing them bills in thousands. There is shortage of water also, lack of teachers in Government schools, lack of doctors and nursing staff in PHC. Lack of school building infrastructure etc,’ observed the DPAP leaders.
On the occasion, Jugal Kishore Sharma said that during his tenure as the minister, many development works were done like building new roads so that the far flung areas could be connected and other facilities may reach them. We fulfilled the demands like building new middle school or high school, Dak bungalow, youth hostel, ration depot, health center, etc in this area but after that nobody took initiative to move forward,’ he said.
District president Ashwini Khajuria alleged that in the last 10 years, only false promises have been received from the Jammu Kashmir Government. “Today the common man of J&K is troubled everywhere. This Government has completely rejected the poor, it takes decisions at night and imposes on people in the morning, due to which our young generation, our daughters, sisters, elders all are troubled. There are no jobs for the youth. Elderly and widows are also facing problems as their pension has been stopped,” he said.
DPAP District youth President Sachin Sharma, Shriraj, Sarpanch Surjit Singh, Sarpanch Pushpa Devi, Sarpanch Shamsher Singh, Master Bishan Das and Master Krishna Lal, Panch Vimla Devi, Sarpanch Kayan Devi, Munshi Ram and others were present on the occasion.
