JAMMU, Mar 2: Rattan Lal Gupta, provincial president Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) has expressed serious concern over the miseries of the people in Jammu and Samba specially Kandi and border belt of both the districts on account of absence of proper basic amenities like power and water supply, besides the sorry state of affairs among the youth due to rising unemployment issues.
While chairing a meeting of party’s district presidents, district secretaries, block presidents and block secretaries of Jammu and Samba districts at Sher-e-Kashmir Bhawan here, today he asserted that the complexity of problems have resulted due to the wrong and anti people policies of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government at the Centre and UT.
He said that NC is the only secular party of J&K that is capable of addressing the pressing issues of the people.
The meeting was held to discuss the current overall socio-political scenario including the pressing issues of the people in these districts specially imposition of Property Tax and encroachment drive against poorer section of the people.
During the meeting, district presidents namely Naresh Bittu and Sudagar Chand Gupta highlighted the problems being faced by the people especially those living in the Kandi belt and border areas.
They also brought to the notice of the senior NC leader the over stressed mental condition of the youth due to highest ever figures of unemployment in J&K and daily wagers are compelled to come on roads besides dearth of medical facilities.
After listening to the issues Gupta said that the incumbent administration has plunged J&K and its people into the darkest period due to misgovernance and thrusting of anti people policies. He said that it is an irony that while youth are suffering due to unemployment, more than 50000 sanctioned posts are lying vacant in various Government departments of J&K. He also raised serious concern over the recent cancellation of the recruitment in border battalions.
