UDHAMPUR, Aug 28: The rural and far off areas of Jammu region are being discriminated badly by the present Government, which is busy in undesirable development of selected patches in and around Jammu city.
This was stated by Rattan Lal Gupta, provincial president, National Conference (NC) Jammu while presiding over a day-long convention at Ramnagar Assembly constituency, district Udhampur. The convention was organised by K.D Sharma, block president, Ramnagar under the supervision of district president, Udhampur, Sunil Verma.
The senior NC leader said that people are confronting development deficit but the Government is busy in spreading false narrative of colossal development in far off belts of J&K, which is a white lie as on ground people are facing multiple problems with no solution in sight. He said that neglect of rural areas is visible on ground but the Government is trumpeting development, development and development day and night.
The provincial president mentioned that the Ramnagar to Basantgarh and Basantgarh to Latti roads have been closed for the last more than two due to flash floods resulting in the people facing hardships in fulfilling their essential commodities. He said that the people of Ramnagar and its adjoining areas are not getting adequate healthcare facilities due to shortage of medical staff in the local healthcare Centre. The deficiency of teachers in the Government schools in the area adding their woes by hampering great affect on the studies of children, he added.
He asserted that only NC can bail out people from this misery as castles of development made by J&K Government in air are distant apart from reality. He asked people of Ramnagar area to extend support to the NC and strengthen the hands of Dr Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah to guarantee the welfare and prosperity of J&K and its people.
Sunil Verma, district president NC Udhampur, in his address, said that the NC is the only secular party in Jammu and Kashmir and a panacea to all the issues confronting the people of this sensitive Union Territory. K.D Sharma, block president, Ramnagar said that it is most unfortunate that the common people have no medium to raise their voice for their basic necessities due to the neglect of the Government.
