JAMMU, Aug 17: Expressing grave concern over the prevailing deteriorating conditions in Kashmir valley, the Dogra Sadar Sabha (DSS) has said that there is no Government and law enforcing authorities visible anywhere in Jammu and Kashmir, especially in Kashmir valley which has given agony and pain to the right thinking citizens.
The Sabha which represents holistic socio and cultural heritage of Jammu region since its inception for more than a century, in its executive body meeting discussed in detail about the socio- political scenario and expressed its views in order to maintain peace and tranquility in its far flung and hilly districts including Rajouri and Poonch.

The Sabha also castigated the concerned authorities for not taking any effective action to preserve the heritage despite repeated memoranda to them.
