Excelsior Correspondent

SRINAGAR, July 24: National Conference (NC) leaders at a meeting in Danger Pura Block, Sopore said that restoration of democracy in J&K is the only way to mitigate sufferings of poor and hapless masses.
The meet was presided over by NC north zone president, Javed Dar while district NC president Baramulla, Dr. Sajad Shafi Uri; Irshad Rasool Kar, chairperson Sopore Municipal Council and Musarat Kar addressed the workers.
During meeting NC functionaries discussed various organizational matters and future course of action in the Sopore Assembly segment.
NC leaders said that people in the district are suffering from paucity of basic amenities and crumbling health and education infrastructure.
They said that Sopore witnessed no infrastructural augmentation and upkeep over past many years.
“Projects started by NC led government, were either left mid-way or completely disbanded. Grievances of people continue to remain unattended,” they claimed.
“Our local leadership of Sopore approached the concerned department and raised issue of poor water supply but nothing fruitful resulted and the district administration failed to provide safe drinking water to people forcing them to drink contaminated water from a nearby pond,” NC leaders maintained adding that profile of government schools in Sopore tells the same story of neglect.
