JAMMU, Aug 7: Sanjay Baru, BJP senior leader, today said a large population is affected by heavy rains and damages caused to houses, lanes, drains and roads etc, every year, which is very unfortunate and painful. Heavy rains during Monsoon season are not new one and the people have very bad experience every year due to the non- seriousness on part of the UEED, whose performance has been poor and unplanned.
While expressing his concern over the failure of the UEED in particular to provide proper sewerage facilities to the people in different areas and localities through which nallahs pass, Baru said the UEED has failed to come up to the expectations of the people.
Speaking about the worst condition of a nallah flowing in Durga Nagar, Wazir Lane, Kabir Nagar and Colonel Colony, Talab Tillo in Jammu West Assembly constituency, he said that every year in the rainy season water flows over the walls of Nallah, which get damaged at many places from Akhnoor road near BSF Headquarter to Chaman Vihar.
It seems that the authorities in this regard are waiting for huge loss of human lives, their houses and properties. It is high time that they should wake from the sleep.
Sanjay Baru, while referring to the ongoing concrete work of the said nallah, shared that an estimate of Rs 3.5 crore was prepared at the initial stage but it will cover only 200 meters stretch of the nallah and the remaining portion from Durga Nagar to Chaman Vihar should also be covered under Smart City Project.
He stressed upon the JMC Commissioner to include the remaining part of the nallah in this financial year under “Smart City Projects” so that the problems arising every year by the overflow of the water is solved.
