JAMMU, Aug 29: Senior National Conference (NC) leader and Provincial president Jammu, Rattan Lal Gupta while terming the incumbent Govt at the Centre and the J&K Administration as ‘Jumla Sarkars’, said that people hear only their tall claims while no development is visible on ground.
He stated this during a programme held at party office Jammu where he felicitated the office bearers of newly constituted body of National Conference district Doda Rural Unit ( Bhaderwah- Gandoh, Bhalessa) today.
The office bearers of district Doda- Rural NC Unit during their interaction with Gupta apprised him that despite J&K Administration’s tall claims no developmental activity has taken place on ground in the rural belt of Doda district. They lamented that people are craving for basic amenities while the dilapidated condition of roads has made the miseries of the people in the area multiply. Moreover, education and health sectors are totally in shambles presenting a highly dismal scenario, they alleged.
They further asserted that no one in the administration is ready to hear to their woes and miserable plight as a result of which the common people of the region feel the heat of official apathy of the highest degree never ever experienced before.
After giving a patient hearing to the newly elected office bearers of district Doda Rural unit, Rattan Lal said that it is very unfortunate that the people of Jammu and Kashmir in general and those of Doda’s rural region are passing through a very tough phase as they have fallen victim to the official apathy that is dominating the system post Article 370 Abrogation.
He flayed the BJP Govt at the Centre and the J&K Administration for making hollow claims of development across Jammu and Kashmir. He asked
Meanwhile, he asked the newly elected body members to make relentless efforts in the direction of strengthening the party base at grass roots level by remaining present among the people who are the worst victims of official apathy and addressing their issues by taking up the same with concerned authorities if required.
