Excelsior Correspondent

MENDHAR, June 17: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) Pirpanjal Zonal president, Javed Ahmed Rana has asserted that everything is in disarray in district Poonch due to the apathy of district administration.
Accusing the officials of all the departments in the district of extreme highhandedness, the National Conference leader has sought immediate intervention of the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha to restore public confidence in his governance by fixing accountability of officers in all the departments in the district.
While addressing a press conference here today, Javed Rana said that presently all the departments are in complete shambles in the district with the administration seemingly having gone out of control. He said that the situation on ground is such that not even an iota of good governance is visible anywhere on ground. This has created a gulf between the common people and the Union Territory Administration as they have genuine reasons to feel that administration is deliberately and intentionally making them suffer for the reasons best known to the officers handling the state of affairs in Poonch district.
Rana said funds to the tune of crores of rupees were released by different departments including that of Tribal affairs but the same have been left unspent thereby getting lapsed. He said that the height of things is that even the District Development Council has failed to come upto the expectations of the people.
NC leader asserted that it is high time that the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha intervenes in the matter and restores the public confidence by fixing accountability in those at the helm of affairs in district administration.
