POONCH, July 21: Provincial President Youth National Conference and former Legislator, Ajaz Jan today lambasted the PDP-BJP Government for pursuing anti-poor policies and failing in providing basic minimum utility services to the people, especially in backward and far off areas.
Addressing a protest rally at Mandi despite heavy downpour, Mr Jan referred to the discrimination being meted out to power subscribers, saying while the supply is erratic the people are being charged heavily.
He also criticized the Power Development Department for charging the consumers indiscriminately by way of showing several connections in a single house-hold.
Mr Jan urged the administration to look into this lacuna immediately and take necessary corrective measures.
The Provincial Youth National Conference President also referred to scaling down of the kerosene quota in rural areas and said this has caused enormous problems to poor population. He sought streamlining of the kerosene supply as per requisite scale.
Mr Jan also expressed anguish over scarcity of essentials and delayed distribution of rations through the CAPD stores. He called for effective steps to ensure supply as per demand and plugging the loopholes in the system.
Referring to utility services like drinking water and irrigational facilities, Mr Jan urged the administration to ensure these in the rural and border areas.
