SAMBA, Sept 22: Continuing the public outreach program, the Apni Party Provincial president, Jammu, and former Minister Manjit Singh today accused the administration of not giving adequate priority to the development, and implementation of public welfare scheme in Samba district that has affected the normal life of the people.
In a meeting of the party held at village Meen Charkan in Bari Brahmana, Singh discussed various issues confronted by the people. The participants raised the issue of the adverse condition of roads with huge potholes, damaged lanes, and drains.
Manjit expressed surprise as to how administration and its respective departments fail to check the developmental work on the ground that require immediate response for the welfare of the people.
“Public funds are provided by the Govt to upgrade the living standard by ensuring developmental works. However, the situation in various villages and wards of Samba District is different,” he added.
He stated that the situation is alarming for the people who have lost their faith in the Govt and its administration that has created a wedge and failed to work for the public welfare.
“In these last several years, the trust between the people, and the administration has reduced and hence, the people also avoid going to the respective administrative offices in their tehsils because of non-responsive attitude of the officials, and arrogance that is responsible for mistrust,” he stated.
He said that the hopes of the people were again compromised by granting more powers to the Lt Governor of J&K than an elected Govt. These additional powers to the LG J&K would make the elected Govts weaker in taking decisions in favour of the people.
