PDP- BJP coalition fails to address people’s issues: Mir

Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, June 14: Congress today blamed PDP- BJP Coalition Govt for ignoring people’s grievances across the State.
Addressing public meeting in Anantnag today, PCC chief GA Mir said that the much talked developmental agenda of the PDP- BJP  Govt is merely for public consumption. He accused the Govt  of commissioning the projects completed by the previous Govt.
Accusing PDP- BJP Coalition for not showing any concern about the resolution of grievances and problems being faced by the  people  across the State, PCC chief  said that the State Govt has failed to  address the main issues of people in respect of  water supply, construction of roads, etc across the State.
He said PDP- BJP Govt on the one hand is taking credit of the projects already completed by the previous Govt and on the other hand it is not even able to commission the completed projects, as a result common people were the worst hit.
PCC president  expressed concern over the worst condition of   Anantnag – Dooru -Karpran road which is being considered as a lifeline between Dooru and Anantnag.
He said the Sept 2014 floods had badly hit the road leaving it in shambles and the irony is that Govt is deliberately delaying the construction work of this important road merely on political lines.
Accusing Coalition Govt for not showing any seriousness about this road,  Mir said that people are the worst hit due to the dilapidated condition of this road and instead of protests and ‘dharnas’ being staged by local population, the Govt has not taken any action in this regard.
PCC chief also expressed surprise over the Government’s inability to commission the Shangran Water Supply Scheme that has already been completed, but the Govt merely on political lines has deliberately halted the commissioning of this scheme  as a result 5000 families are suffering due to the scarcity of water.
Mr Mir also condemned the lathicharge on protesters particularly women who were protesting against the water scarcity and were demanding commissioning of Shangran WSS Scheme.
