CHAMOTI, June 24: Former Minister and PCC vice-president G M Saroori today said that whatever Ghulam Nabi Azad said in his statement regarding the Kashmir issue, was the truth and ground reality in the Valley.
He expressed serious concern over the continuous killings of civilians in Kashmir and said that with no letup in the killing of people, especially youth, it has once again come to fore that there was no respect for humans in the Valley. He said “life in Kashmir has become very tough as in some places; situation is quite similar to that of early 90’s.”
He said this while addressing a public grievance redressal meeting at Chamoti area of Drabshalla in district Kishtwar, to take stock of the people’s problems and developmental needs.
The problems which were highlighted by people, were mainly related to filling of vacant posts in sub-centres/ISM health sub centres, drinking water facility, early completion of road projects, issue of new ration cards for BPL section, potable drinking water, early clearance of payment in favour of MGNREGA job card holders, construction of bathrooms under IHHL scheme, timely distribution of ration and opening of new Anganwari centres.
The MLA took the feedback from the officials of various departments present there. He urged the officials to prove their best in solving the public grievances and timely completion of sanctioned developmental projects. He announced blacktopping on 10 kms long Machepal to Chamoti road which will be executed by PMGSY Department. He also emphasized that his prime motto as MLA was to address the all public issues on priority basis. He said that Congress is committed to reach up to the last man living in the most neglected sections of the society.
Regarding electricity problems in the area, Saroori said that Saubhagya, DDU, RGGVY phase II schemes will provide electricity to every nook and corner of Inderwal constituency within a year time besides 63kv transformers will be installed in place of 25kv. He also said that strenuous efforts were being made to get all liability under the scheme liquidated very shortly.
