NOWSHERA, Jan 10: Former Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) and general secretary of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday urged the authorities to provide all facilities to the students living on the border area so that they can compete with their counterparts in other parts of J&K.
Addressing one day convention of J&K Jat Sabha at village Kalsian, near LoC in Nowshera area of Rajouri district, Choudhary regretted that students of the border belts are facing discrimination because they are confronting to get basic facilities like schools and mobile network. “What to say to 4G mobile connectivity, inhabitants of border belts are not getting even mobile network”, he said and regretted that it was all due to the lack of facilities that members of Jat Biradari living in this area, are lacking in every sphere of life.
He said that those living on the border are serving the nation without wearing a uniform and it is the duty of the Government to provide them all facilities.
Choudhary regretted that on the one hand border residents have been denied basic amenities like health and education, on the other they are uncertain about their own security due to continued shelling. He further pointed out that the promise of constructing bunkers is yet to be fulfilled.
Exhorting members of the Jat Biradari of Nowshera to launch a war against social evils like drug addiction, Choudhary sought support of every section of the society to eradicate this menace which is dangerously consuming the lives of the younger generation. He called upon elderly members of the Biradari to shoulder the responsibility to eradicate social evils from the society. He also called upon the Jat Biradari to ensure social harmony and brotherhood with other communities so as to ensure development and progress in the society.
During the day-long convention, president of the Sabha Capt Moti Ram nominated Capt Bhola Ram as chairman of J&K Jat Sabha and Suresh Choudhary (retired Principal) as general secretary of Nowshera unit of the Sabha. Ravinder Chouhan was appointed as youth wing president of the Jat Sabha Nowshera. During function Jat Biradari members- who excelled in different fields, were also felicitated by the community.
