JAMMU, Feb 1: A joint meeting of Jagti Tenement Committee and Soan Kashmir Front was held here today under the presidentship of Shadi Lal Pandita in which the problems of migrants in general and Jagti inmates in particular were highlighted.
The meeting demanded immediate covering of main holes which have become death traps in the camp, making community halls fully functional, proper utilization of abandoned sheds in the periphery of the Jagti township which have become cattle shelters and added to insanitation and pollution in the area, construction of road from Jagti to Kandoli Mata temple Nagrota, construction of 160 shops in the township, improvement of power supply and doing away with 18 hour power cuts and completion of work on 40 bedded hospital.
