SRINAGAR, Dec 1: Senior National Conference leader Ali Muhammad Sagar while continuing with his election campaign in his constituency, today hit out hard at PDP accusing them of neglecting the Srinagar city out rightly.
Sagar while touring the areas – Lone Mohalla, Chachoo Mohalla, Riyazat Teng and Roza Bal, addressed numerous gatherings and said people are well aware of the developmental activities undertaken by the National Conference led Government for the improvement of standard infrastructure in the old city, the result of which is that people in the old city have time and again reposed their faith in the NC. “We hope you will continue this trend in the ongoing elections and give a befitting reply to the divisive forces who did nothing for the Srinagar city,” Sagar said.
He said that for better traffic mobility in the old city Srinagar, the work on prestigious Meerak Shah Road Project has been expedited besides in health sector several measures have been started like the construction of Super Specialty Hospitals at Shreen Bagh and JLNM Rainawari have been undertaken. He said that a comprehensive project for developing the old city Srinagar on heritage basis has been initiated so that the whole of the area comes within the tourist circuit which would go a long way in accelerating the economic activities of this part of the city.
Taking a dig at the PDP for neglecting the Srinagar city and for having nefarious designs towards the summer capital, Sagar said that the Government led by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed was all set to shift the capital from Srinagar to Parihaspora which would have eventually dented and deserted this cultural centre.
He said the National Conference is the only guaranty for the betterment of the people of Srinagar and it is recorded history that these people (PDP) were responsible for stalling various prestigious projects of the Srinagar city and are now trying to mislead the people for their ulterior political motives.
