JAMMU, Aug 22: Dogra Swabhimaan Sangathan Party delegation led by Ch Lal Singh today met the Lt Governor J&K UT, Manoj Sinha and projected the issues of the Jammu region.
While welcoming the Sinha, Ch Lal Singh expressed happiness on the appointment of a mature, seasoned and an experienced politician as a head of the J&K UT, which will usher into a new era of development and an environment of public welfare.
Lal Singh projected the issues of public importance and indifferent attitude of the administration. While presenting the demands, Singh strongly demanded to honour the state subjects and the original habitants of Jammu should not be subjected to the screening at par with the outsiders. Manoj Sinha, readily agreed to the demand of Ch Lal Singh to honour the PRCs of the locals of Jammu and they would have not to stand in the queues. He assured immediate order in this regard.
DSSP leader also highlighted the issues of Toll Plazas, Government move to privatize the Power sector, termination of employees of department of Health as well as the department of Information, abolishing Self Help Groups of Engineers and Technocrats, depriving farmers of their hard earned land especially in border areas, non-regularization of casual, daily rated, consolidated workers in various departments working for more than 10 and 15 years.
