JAMMU, Sept 21: Jammu and Kashmir Border Areas Development Conference (JK-BADC), a registered organization working for the welfare of residents of border areas of J&K has once again reiterated its demand of setting up Municipal Committee in border town Mendhar of district Poonch for providing better sanitation, enhanced hygienic facilities and planned, controlled and managed construction of lanes, drains and buildings in the border town.
Dr Shazad Ahmed Malik, Chairman of JK-BADC and former Vice Chancellor has urged the government for establishment of Municipal Committee in border town Mendhar before announcement of Panchayat and Municipal elections because as presently due to uncontrolled and unplanned construction of infrastructure including private, government and commercial buildings in the Mendhar town the roads, lanes and drains are being encroached upon by rogue elements and there is no check on it.
BADC Chairman citing the poor hygiene facilities there in Mendhar town also highlighted the issue of choked drains and unplanned disposal of solid, liquid and other harmful wastes. He said as the Mendhar is house to a huge population, thus, it is imperative that all the political parties should join hands and contribute their efforts in establishment of municipal body in the border town before elections to provide a sigh of relief to the residents.
