JAMMU Aug 2: Rattan Lal Gupta, National Conference (NC) provincial president Jammu today alleged that people’s miseries have increased manifold under the present J&K administration on account of policy deficit and lack of vision.
In a statement issued to media, the senior NC leader said that the people in the region are lurching for respite since August 5, 2019, the day the Centre has declared the Articles 370 and 35A null and void. He said that the incumbent administration in J&K has been proved to be inefficient as its so-called people friendly initiatives have been proved to be anti-people and anti-J&K. He said that unemployment is an issue which has gone totally out of control in J&K with the dispensation having no idea how to deal with the same.
The mishandling of the issue of regularization of thousands of daily wagers in the region shows the inability and lack of will of the administration to resolve this vital issue leaving the aforesaid segment and their families to suffer miserably. “The recent carelessness shown in case of flash floods after a day long spell of heavy downpour in many parts of J&K also speaks of failure of the dispensation which is expert in self boasting but zero on ground”, he said adding that still there is time to assess the losses and give some relief to the victims of the nature’s fury as in many cases poor designing of civic infra raised under this regime led to inundation especially in areas falling under Jammu City.
Coming down heavily against the discrimination shown by the Government over land laws, the NC stalwart leader said that under similar conditions and changes in Ladakh, no one from outside the region can buy land and even Himachal Pradesh has similar provisions, but in J&K the Government has allowed open loot as anyone can purchase land here making mockery of the people. He also raised the issue of the miserable condition of farmers in the region as the Government has no clear cut policy for their welfare.
