The Government is not performing according to the Agenda of Alliance. The farmers, business community, traders, students are totally fed up with this non-performing Government, which has failed on all fronts whether it is providing basic facilities to the people or paying timely wages to the daily wagers working in various departments of the State or checking price hike of essential commodities”, said former Minister Raman Bhalla while addressing public gathering in continuance with his mass contact programme to listen to the grievances of different areas of Gandhi Nagar constituency at Roop Nagar -Digiana today.
Former minister speaking on the occasion said that Infrastructure development with regard to tourism is lacking despite the fact that J&K is considered as one of the industrially backward states of the country.
Speaking on the progress of mega development projects being implemented in Jammu, Bhalla said that all the projects are moving at snail’s pace be it expansion of Jammu Airport and extension of Runway, Multi-tier parking and commercial complex proposed to be constructed at General Bus Stand Jammu, development of Tawi River Front,  sewage project for Jammu city or construction of Bikram Chowk Fly-over. He also referred to Chenani-Nashri Tunnel commissioned by PM Modi today and said that it is been started by UPA Govt led by Manmohan Singh.
