JAMMU, Jan 21: While rejecting the Mushtaq Ganai Committee, the Jammu State Morcha has demanded creation of seven more districts in Jammu region.
While expressing the resolve of Jammu State Morcha to re-activate Statehood movement and hold public rallies, seminars and conference to awaken the people against discrimination, a spokesman of the Morcha took strong exception to the recommendations of Mushtaq Ganai Committee, constituted to recommend new administrative units. He said that the committee has not done justice with the Jammu region and the JSM did not approve its recommendations.
He said that Morcha demands seven more districts in Jammu region for better administration. They included Bhaderwah, Nowshera, Akhnoor, RS Pura, Basohli, Billawar and Ramnagar. There are apparent disparities in the matter of development among these districts. There are many other areas which are equally neglected in the State. Therefore, the Morcha proposes formation of District Councils in each district of the State with powers as enjoyed by Development Councils in Leh and Kargil.
The spokesman said that JSM has decided to create a special cell which shall collect the information data on corruption related issues and discriminatory treatment with people of Jammu region and on day today based grievances. The ‘Cell’ shall operate from Shubam Hotel on Gurdwara Sunder Singh Road, in Jammu. The people can also contact on Nos. 2463031/ 9419196301/ 9419137071 to lodge their complaints, he added.
