JAMMU, July 28: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and District Development Councillor of Suchetgarh, Taranjit Singh Tony while alerting the people against flash floods across Jammu has claimed that flash floods are a result of massive encroachment of water bodies.
He appealed to the Lt Governor, Manoj Sinha to address this sensitive issue on a war footing.
Tony stated this during his visit to flash flood affected areas of Chatha, Bhour Camp etc where he took stock of the damage caused by the flash floods today.
The AAP leader said that the encroachment of Nallahs and Khuds by mafia in connivance with government officials exposes the tall claims of the government regarding corruption free system.
He said that a few hours of heavy rain exposed tall claims of authorities about transforming Jammu into a Smart City.
“If rain continues for two more days in Jammu, undoubtedly the whole city will get washed away due to the weather vagary,” Tony maintained.
