PDP-BJP pushing J&K to wall: G. M Saroori



Ensure essential supplies in remote and far flung areas; addressed public meeting at Tatani Saroor

TATANI (SAROOR), DECEMBER 14: - Senior J&K Congress leader and MLA Inderwal, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on the PDP-BJP dispensation for pushing Jammu and Kashmir to wall by creating a situation of drift, showing insensitivity towards peoples’ aspirations and forcing aggressive nationalism saying that it has created a chaotic situation.

“Both the regions of Kashmir and Jammu are on boil because of the wrong policies of the coalition partners, which are serving complementary and supplementary to each other,” Saroori said while addressing public meetings at Tatani area of Saroor in Tehsil Drabshalla.

Saroori expressed serious concern over the erratic power supply and scarcity of essential commodities including ration, Atta, sugar, hospital supplies and LPG in the Chenab region, has asked the administration to address the problems of the people especially who are braving biting cold in Kishtwar and Doda without power supply and ration.

He said that the shortage of ration in hilly areas speaks volumes about the insensitivity and callousness of the authorities. He said there is shortage of ration especially rice, sugar and wheat/ flour in Government depots. He said the prevailing poor power supply has virtually left the life in Chenab valley out of gear and the people faced tremendous hardships due non- availability of ration, sugar, kerosene and LPG. “Not only the freezing temperature but the unscheduled power cuts and inadequate supply of LPG cylinders has aggravated the situation further. The authorities seem hardly bothered about the problems faced by the common people in Chenab region,” Saroori remarked.

Saroori further said that people are being devoid of basic amenities. The administration should ensure that people in these districts are not neglected and sufficient arrangements be made before a snowfall in the region.

He also urged the government to meet the hospital requirements and services for all specialty departments before the snowfall in this area. “With chilly winters, there is a surge in different diseases in hilly areas so the Government should also review its arrangements and take stock of supplies in hospitals especially in rural areas of district Kishtwar, Doda and Ramban,” Saroori maintained.

The Congress lawmaker also urged the J&K Chief Minister to personally look into the matter about scarcity of essential supplies and meet the required stock of ration, fire wood and kerosene oil in district Doda and Kishtwar before on set of snowfall. He said there is immediate need for effective measures to bridge the gap between availability and consumption of electricity and set up a dependable power delivery system in the State.

Earlier Mr. Saroori inspected various developmental works in the area including Chalasu-Tatani road, work done under MGNREGA, SSA, IHHL, PHE water supply schemes and Middle school Piyakul Saroor. While inspecting infrastructure in Middle school Piyakul Saroor, Saroori highlighted the importance of adapting new technological interventions and effective use of social media to provide better interface to the stakeholders. He stressed on being more responsive to improve the education scenario and laid stress on improving facilities for the students. He said the school facilities should be developed at par with those available in private schools so that students get attracted to the model school.

Prominent among those local Congress leaders, workers, officials of RDD, PHE, R&B besides prominent citizens of the area were present on the occasion.
