POONCH, Aug 23: Ajaz Jan, provincial president of Youth National Conference and former MLA, voiced his concerns about the stagnation of development under the current administration.
During his visit to block Sathra in Tehsil Mandi, district Poonch, he expressed dismay at the lack of progress in the region over the past decade.
Speaking to the public, the senior NC leader emphasized that the development works initiated during the National Conference’s regime have failed to see the light of day. “Under the BJP’s rule, which has lasted nearly 10 years, not a single major development project has been implemented in this area. People are still deprived of basic amenities like clean water, electricity, and proper road infrastructure,” he said.
Jan criticized the present dispensation for its failure to address the needs of the people, especially in rural and marginalized areas. “The promises made by the Government have proven hollow, and the hopes of the people have been shattered. Tehsil Mandi and its surrounding areas continue to suffer from a complete lack of attention,” he added.
Senior NC leader urged the people of the region to rally behind the National Conference in the upcoming Assembly elections. “Only the National Conference can bring equitable development to all corners of Jammu and Kashmir. We need a Government that listens to the voices of the people and works towards their betterment,” Jan asserted.
Among those who spoke include Syed Shah Hussain Shah, Shamin Ahmed Peer, ex Sarpanch Fazal Hussain, Mashook Khan, Gulam Hussain Bhatti, Sadiq Querash, Shafi Dawan, Faiz Diwan, Abdul Razak, Azim Khan, Ch Shabir Block president and others.
Later, a large number of prominent leaders and people of the area joined NC.
