UDHAMPUR, Aug 6: Provincial President of National Conference (NC) Rattan Lal Gupta today raised serious concern over the lack of visible change in Jammu and Kashmir after repealing of Article 370 from the erstwhile state.
Addressing a party meeting convened under the chairmanship of Sunil Verma (district president of Udhampur), Rattan Lal Gupta highlighted that the proxy governance currently in place is unable to resolve the basic issues faced by the people of J&K. He emphasized that the problems of the general public have only multiplied in the absence of a popularly elected government.
Gupta stated that the claims of development made on paper have not been reflected on the ground. The scarcity of drinking water, irregular power supply, non-availability of government ration, and inadequate healthcare facilities in rural and far-flung areas have deeply impacted the lives of the people of J&K.
Earlier, Sunil Verma apprised the senior functionaries of the Party about various problems being faced by the people of the district. He highlighted issues such as blocked Ramgarh-Basantgarh road, dilapidated condition of the Chenani-Latti-Dudu road and Udhampur to Pancheri road, and the absence of medical facilities in far-flung areas like Chenani, Latti-Dudu and Pancheri.
The Provincial President called upon the people of Udhampur district to support the NC for equitable development of the region in the ensuing elections in J&K. He also asked the party workers to gear up for upcoming ULB and Panchayat polls and ensure the victory of Party.
Sheikh Bashir Ahmed (provincial secretary), Pardeep Bali (secretary) and Vijay Lochan (provincial president, SC Cell) also spoke on the occasion.
Later, impressed by the policies and programmes of NC, several people including Amarnath, Ex-Capt Madan Lal, Sub (Retired) Moti Ram, Havildar Rajesh Parihar, Ch Billa Panch, Pritam Singh, Raj Pant, Som Raj Sharma and Jai Dev Singh joined the Party.
