Excelsior Correspondent
POONCH, Jan 9: Provincial president of Youth National Conference for Jammu Ajaz Jan today sought audit of all under-construction roads in the Pir Panjal range as the executing agencies have miserably failed to match the standards of road construction.
During the tour Jan issued statement here today, the senior NC leader said that the administration was totally failed in maintenance and repair of the road network falling in the Pir Panjal Zone. He said even the ongoing works of roads are not following the criteria of construction of roads as fixed by the concerned department.
Former MLA said that due to rampant corruption in the administration none bother to look into the matter and the authorities are preferred to keep their eyes shut. He asked LG Sinha to look into the matter and direct the authorities concerned to stop wasting the tax-payer’s money by constructing the sub-standards which will not stand even one year after its construction.
Meanwhile, the senior NC leader conducted a tour of snow bound areas of Haveli constituency of district Poonch. He along with party leaders met with people and took stock of the problems being faced by them. He observed that the administration was not paying heed to their pressing issues especially towards the winter related issues.
Jan said the roads in far areas of district Poonch were blocked for the last several days due to snowfall and there was no means to supply ration to the depots in these areas under the prevailing circumstances. He claimed power failure and water scarcity in the area were adding to the woes of the people of the hilly belt. He demanded restoration of power and water supply in the area on war footing and said that all steps should be taken to ensure ration supply in district Poonch.
Ex-MLA also directed the Block presidents of district Poonch to constitute committees at block level to look into the problems being faced by people due to non-availability of basic amenities amidst this chilly winter season.
He was accompanying by Abdul Ahad Bhatt, Block president Mandi, Abdul Ahad Tantary, Mati Rehman, Abdul Jabar Tantary, Ajaz Lone and others.
