JAMMU, May 28: Gurdeep Singh Sasan, vice president, National Conference (NC), Jammu province conducted an extensive tour of border belt of RS Pura, where he met victims of cross LoC firing and shelling by Pakistan, listened to their grievances and distributed rice among them.
While addressing a gathering of firing victims at Rangpura, Sasan lambasted the PDP-BJP Government for its total failure to come to the rescue of border dwellers by leaving them at the mercy of God. He said that the Government seems to be insensitive towards the sufferings of firing victims and have closed their eyes and ears towards them.
He alleged that the Government has failed to provide the basic amenities to the helpless people, who are deprived of medical facility, electricity, ration, drinking water and other essentials. “PDP-BJP coalition is completely direction less and has lost the people’s confidence in all the regions of the State”, he added.
Sasan further said that NC is committed to provide safe shelters to border dwellers during cross firing and urged Coalition Government to provide 5 marla plots to border residents. He appealed Governor N N Vohra to direct the Government to provide alternative permanent shelters to the victims. He also demanded Rs five lakh compensation to each family which lost their dear ones in recent ceasefire violations.
The NC provincial vice-president reminded the people that NC leadership is committed for the welfare of border area people and also for the equitable development of all the three regions of the State. He appealed the people to strengthen the hands of NC for the peace, stability, security, employment and development of State.
