PDP-BJP undermines importance of DDBs: Jan

Excelsior Correspondent
POONCH, June 11: Youth National Conference provincial president  and former MLA, Ajaz Jan today said that the District Development Boards have lost their efficacy under the PDP-BJP dispensation.
Addressing party workers here today, Jan referred to the recent DDB meeting held in Poonch and said peoples’s expectations have been belied, as no decisions could be taken with regard to development, implementation of various schemes and taking up of priority works. He said that monitoring has become a huge causality due to lack of transparency and accountability.
Youth NC leader said that due to lack of vision and will to perform, the developmental tempo has been halted and the works taken up during the tenure of previous Government are particularly getting affected. He said the importance of these boards is being deliberately undermined.
Referring to developmental inertia in Poonch, Jan said that upgradation of roads, improvement in water supply and irrigational schemes seems to be least priority with the Government. He said Poonch and Mandi areas are reeling under water crisis during the ongoing summer spell. He said ration too is  inadequate on the sale depots, causing enormous hardships to the people.
He expressed concern over delay in salaries to SSA teachers and payments to contractors.
Prominent among those present on the occasion included Bagh Hussain Rathor, Abdul Ahad Bhatt, Ishaq Khan, Syed Khurshid Shah, Naseer Khan, Ch Saleem Khari, NS Talwar, Surjan Singh, Shafiq Baba, Ismael Chambar, Master Sharief, Pintu Singh, Mashooq Khan, Siraj Din, Sofi Abdual Qayoom and Ch Yousaf.
