JAMMU, Feb 7: Senior National Conference leader and former MLA Mian Altaf Ahmed has urged the State Administration to gear up its men and machinery and be responsive to the issues of people arisen after snowfall particularly in rural areas.
In a statement issued, Altaf said that the people are facing immense hardships due to non- availability of electricity, water supply and non- clearance of roads in Kangan constituency.
“Due to the snowfall, the people are facing many difficulties, adding that about two dozen families from Ramwari area of Gund who have been evacuated from an avalanche prone area should be provided blankets and ration,” Altaf added.
“Many areas in Kangan constituency are reeling under darkness for last more than a month as the transformers in these areas have got damaged and are lying in workshops for want of repair, adding that the delay is causing inconvenience and hardships to the people in this harsh winter,” the statement said.
