JAMMU, Apr 1: Apni Party vice president Ghulam Hassan Mir has urged the Govt to ensure supply of 24×7 electricity supply in Jammu during hot summers.
Mir said weather conditions become harsh and unbearable for people during summers in Jammu. Therefore, the Govt must ensure people do not suffer due to unscheduled power cuts and supplied uninterrupted power supply through the day and night.
In his address, Ghulam Hassan Mir reiterated demand for the empowerment of people of Jammu and Kashmir with the restoration of statehood and holding of Assembly elections.
Speaking at a function organized to felicitate newly appointed District president, Jammu district, Pranav Shagotra at Gandhi Nagar in Apni Party Office, Ghulam Hassan Mir said that the people of the erstwhile State feel disempowered with the downgrading of J&K into a Union Territory.
“The downgrading of J&K State into a UT has given rise to the feeling of disempowerment. In last several years, the bureaucracy has also made the people of suffer because of their attitude of superiority,” said Mir.
Senior leader Mohd Dilawar Mir said it was Party’s efforts that 4G speed internet services could be restored. “Restoration of Statehood is the core issue of Apni Party as well as employment to the unemployed educated youth. When other political parties were silent over the suffering of people, Apni Party alone raised issues and get them redressed,” Dilawar Mir said.
Senior leaders Vijay Bakaya, Vikram Malhotra and Manjit Singh alleged that BJP has taken Jammu people for granted. They said Apni Party has now emerged as a major political force in Jammu Division which has frustrated BJP as they have exposed themselves with their arrogance.
“The height of arrogance can be gauged from the fact that a senior leader of that party has compared protesting aspirants of BSF/CISF with the domestic servants,” they said.
Ruling political party has humiliated the unemployed youth who want justice from them.
Provincial president, Women Wing, Namrta Sharma, said that the women in rural as well as urban areas of Jammu have joined Party in large numbers.
“Women were concerned about the price rise of essential commodities, increasing unemployment, drug addiction among youth, electricity, failure of JMC in installing street lights and in providing basic amenities,” said Namrta. She said the process of strengthening the party will continue.
District president, Jammu Pranav Shagotra also spoke on the occasion.
