­Earthquake in Chenab Valley, centre misguided by National Conference: Saroori

Wrong statements on behalf of National Conference bereft lakhs of people of Central Assistance.

Protest will begin after EID if special package will not be given.

Jammu, July 24: - Fresh earthquake on Tuesday 23^rd July 2013 in erstwhile Doda district horrified the lakhs of people and left them in chaos, instead of any hope of assistance the National Conference misguided the Center for not releasing the appropriate special package for the earth quake victims.

In a press conference given by Former Minister and Senior Congress Leader G M Saroori (MLA Inderwal) that the Congress dominated Chenab Valley is very poor and the people have lost almost all in the recent earthquakes instead of the relief the center governments rejection of the special package demand is heart rending and a huge loss for humanity.

The National Conference is wholly solly responsible for the centers rejection as it did not forward the case timely and its non seriousness snatched the much expected relief from the center.

Despite the repeated interference of Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad regarding the loss in the recent earthquakes the National Conference showed its real face by not putting the case in the right direction left lakhs of people in dismay.

Azad himself visited the earthquake affected areas and assessed the situation on ground, which he later informed and put the demand to Prime Minister of India Dr Manmohan Singh. Not only this he in a major public rally in Kishtwar informed the Prime Minister including Chairperson UPA Smt. Sonia Gandhi regarding the damage and showed the apprehension of the 70% total collapse of houses in the erstwhile Doda district in coming days because of rains, snow and continuous tremors.

National Conference government misled the center and kept them in dark via their wrong statements regarding the package and the Erstwhile Doda district became the victim of its dirty politics and because of the dominance of Congress in Erstwhile Doda district. The people have been befooled and bereft of much needed aid, because their only fault is that they are living in Congress dominated areas.

Saroori further said the ruling National Conference bosses reached after two weeks to the victims that too the couple of meeting in closed doors at Dak Bunglows. Revenue record put forward their damage report but the National Conference government misled the representatives of central government by saying that the losses are mere and need not the major assistance on the behalf of central government.

He alleged that the state government sends a detailed package of Rs 607.7 Crore to central government but due to the misled and misconceptions put forward by National Conference the poor people have to face a huge loss.

Saroori recommended the government to immediately announce a special package upto Eid otherwise the people have no other option except to come on roads to meet their genuine demands in which he (Saroori) himself will be the part of the protest and gradually the other congress leaders will join the noble cause until the poor will be given the justice.

Saroori appealed the Prime Minister of India Dr Manmohan Singh, Chairperson UPA Smt. Sonia Gandhi to sanction the package for the people of the Erstwhile Doda district besides requested the Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad to use his good offices for getting the package sanctioned.

It is pertinent to mention that continuous fresh tremors are still on and on in the whole Chenab Valley putting the lives of lakhs of people in danger and the state government is waiting for a huge loss of life and property.

The demand driven MGNREGA calls for timely execution as it is essentially designed to generate employment for the poor and provide them wage security, he said.

He demanded the scheme to be free from bureaucratic wrangles which will be in the interest of the poor who have no resources to bank upon in this era of high price escalation.

Saroori has urged upon the PHE department to repair the hand pump as from the last one year hand pumps at Thathri, Drabshallah, Chatroo, Kuriya, Thakrie, Mulchitter, Sigdi, Saroor and Bunjwah are not working due to disorderness in Pumps. He said he also raised this question on the floor of the Assembly but PHE department is paying no heed to it.
