SRINAGAR, June 29: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president, Mehbooba Mufti, today said once voted to power the PDP will specially focus on the far-flung areas of the State where fruits of development have not reached yet.
She also said it would be the policy of her party to work on the quality education and skill development of local youth so that they could find it easy to get dignified employment in their own local set up.
Addressing a public meeting in Shangus of Anantnag district, Mehbooba said it is saddening that the people living in the far-off areas are still suffering due to lack of basic amenities like quality health care, proper road connectivity, quality education, ration, power etc.
Mehbooba said the health care facilities in these areas are almost nil and the people have to travel miles to get the treatment done. Unfortunately funds sanctioned under various centrally sponsored schemes have either been embezzled or not utilized properly, she alleged.
The education system has received a big jolt under the ruling regime and the students have to suffer because of the lack proper teaching staff and other infrastructural facilities, adding the bad condition of roads in the entire Valley present a sad commentary on the performance of the ruling NC-led Government.
Referring to the dismal power scenario she said besides charging huge tariff from the people the Government has failed in its duty to provide power to the people. She said all parts of the State are confronting with the bad power supply but the situation is worst in far-flung areas.
