NC slams PDP-BJP for total neglect of remote areas

Excelsior Correspondent
BANIHAL, May 2: National Conference district president Ramban, Sajjad Shaheen today slammed PDP-BJP coalition for total neglect of remote areas, saying that due to governance deficit the peoples’ miseries are accumulating with each passing day.
“Not only the remote areas are neglected but the facilities sanctioned for these places are shifted on political considerations”, Mr Shaheen said while addressing the workers at Ukhral.
He expressed concern over proposed shifting of Model Higher Secondary School under RMSA from Ramsoo to Gool purely on political exigencies. He also expressed surprise over the silence of local MLA and said that he had not been able to protect the rights of the people of Ramsoo.
Mr Shaheen cautioned against the shifting of the school, saying any such move will be strongly resisted and if needed, the people will take to streets and the responsibility shall lie with the Government. He said that National Conference will not allow politicization of education, adding that if Gool needs such a facility the Government should sanction another model school for the area.
