JAMMU, June 17: Reacting sharply to the up-gradation of Billawar and Basohli in district Kathua to the status having Addl Dy Commissioner, Thathri Development Front has termed the same as a pick and choose policy of the BJP-PDP Coalition Government ignoring the strong and genuine claim of other deserving areas.
The Front, in an emergency meeting, said that without framing any concrete policy in up-grading such administrative units, the attempts tantamount to appeasing certain political bosses with political considerations as has been done in case of Bhaderwah Sub-Division. “It appears that the present Coalition Government has surpassed the previous successive Government in doing irrational, illogical and arbitrary acts purportedly in public interest,” the meet said and expressed deep concern over the neglect of Thathri Sub-Division, which comprises of 5 tehsils and deserves to be up-graded to full fledged district.
The meeting further warned that in case Thathri Sub-Division is not up-graded like Basohli, Billawar and Bhaderwah within 10 days, the public would come on road blocking Batote-Kishtwar National Highway at Thathri.
