JAMMU, Dec 22: Former Minister and National Conference president for Central Zone (Jammu, Samba and Kathua), Babu Rampaul today chaired a meeting of all the coordinators of the Zone and discussed the problems being faced by the common masses due to utter failure of present dispensation in redressing the burning issues.
He expressed that people of J&K were facing governance deficit owing to which each and every section of society was suffering badly. “Youth are frustrated due to lack of employment opportunities, old and infirm people are deprived of Government support, traders are overburdened with taxes; and general public is reeling under worst ever inflation. But, the Government is least bothered about all these issues,” he said.
Rampaul flayed the JMC authorities for sharp increase in the fees for various services offered by it. “Common masses are already overburdened with different kind of taxes and the decision of JMC authorities has only added to their miseries,” he said.
NC leader demanded immediate roll back on the order issued by JMC authorities so as to lessen burden on the poor people who are already hand to mouth due to steep rise in inflation.
He also impressed upon the Central Zone coordinators of JKNC to launch vigorous door to door campaign in their respective areas regarding the anti-people policies of present dispensation. He asked them to remain in the state of preparedness for forthcoming Parliament, Assembly as well as Local Body polls.
Rampal urged the people to whole-heartedly support NC so that J&K could return back to the path of peace and prosperity.
Zonal secretary and Coordinator Jammu District Urban, Dr Vikas Sharma while speaking on the occasion said that it was under NC’s rule that the erstwhile state was among top States of our country. He urged upon the youth, retirees and the women to play an active role in the upcoming polls and vote for peace, progress, identity with dignity and to ensure democracy survives at any cost.
Among those who attended the meeting included, Sham Lal Mehra, Surjit Singh Sasan, Bharat Bhushan, Rajinder Chanyal, Arvind Jamwal and others.
