DHANGRI, Jan 9: On the directions of National Conference President, Dr Farooq Abdullah, a delegation of NC leaders headed by Provincial President Rattan Lal Gupta and others visited every house of terror affected families in Dhangri and expressed grief and sympathies with the terror victims.
On the occasion, DDC Chairman Rajouri, Naseem Laquit, DDC Dhangri Rameshwar Singh, District President NC Rajouri-Shafayat Ahmed Khan, District President Rajouri Rural-Ashok Sharma, Pardeep Bali, Abdul Gani Teli, Vijay Lochan, Bimla Luthra, Vijay Laxmi Datta and Yashu Vardan Singh, Additional Spokesperson accompanied the Provincial President.
Capt (Retd) Balraj Sharma, a senior citizen of village Dhangri apprised the visiting senior NC leaders that over a week has passed but the security agencies have failed to make any breakthrough and bring the culprits to book. He demanded that the case should be handed over to NIA. He also demanded adequate security grid in the region for people’s safety and security. “Terrorists involved in the attack are still at large and roaming around. We are feeling insecure in our homes,” he added.
Expressing resentment against the administration, he also demanded a probe into the delay in shifting of the critically injured persons to GMC hospital Jammu. “Prince Sharma was undergoing treatment at GMC Rajouri for three days before he was shifted to GMC Jammu. Why was he not taken to AIIMS Delhi to save his life?” he said, adding the probe is a must to fix the responsibility.
NC leaders, while coming down heavily on the Govt for its failure to protect the people from terror onslaughts, questioned on the IED blast taking place at the killing site next morning. The senior NC leaders further said that the Government has cracked a cruel joke upon the people by providing useless weaponry to the Village Defence Committees/Guards as these weapons are mostly defunct and can prove quite dangerous in critical situations to defend the people against terrorists. They demanded that the Govt should take immediate steps to provide weapons to the people which are in absolutely good condition and capable of using the same against the terrorists.
They stated that the ground realities are entirely contrary to the narratives on official as well as social media. They said that people in Dhangri village and its surrounding areas are totally scared by the gruesome target killings and are living under fret and fear being apprehensive of more selective killings.
