POONCH, Sept 19: JKPCC general secretary and DDC member from Surankote- A, Shahnawaz Choudhary constituency visited remotest Hill Kaka area in district Poonch and fulfilled old demand of the people of this area.
The DDC member travelled a journey of 6 hours on-foot. He is the first public representative, who visited this far flung area in last 70 years. During his visit, first time in history, a medical camp was organised and inaugurated by him in the presence of BMO Surankote.
This area is most neglected, backward and completely forgotten part of the district Poonch in Pir Panjal belt. During monsoon or winters and when other rainy spells occur, locals have to cross streams and rivers at nearly two dozen locations to reach a hospital. It’s almost impossible for them to provide treatment to people and livestock in such a neglected region.
Shahnawaz inaugurated the path there for which he released an amount from his own funds. He informed that he has also got approval of a structure for the working of a Health Sub Center under NHM in Hill Kaka. In the 21st century when the world is quickly moving forward, Hill Kaka is without mobile network connectivity and assured locals that offline ration will be provided to all the beneficiaries. He listened to the demands of locals patiently and assured that road connectivity via Do Changa to Hill Kaka will be a reality soon and promised them that demand for a mobile network tower and a separate Panchayat for the area will be taken up with concerned authorities soon.
During his visit in the area, a cricket tournament was also organised with his support and he distributed the trophy and prizes to winner and runner up teams. He said that there is need of hour to nurture young talent and channelising their energy in the right direction to save the youth from drugs menace. The area still has no power supply and Shahnawaz provided solar lights to the natives of the area.
Sarpanch Haji Javed , Sarpanch Mohd Azam, Taj Bhatti, Dilpazeer Ahmed, Maroof Ahmed, Mohd Qasim, Nazakat Hussain, Sikander Hayat,Asif Bajard and several others were present on the occasion.
