This is to draw the attention of the JMC authorities that the Swaran Vihar Colony is beset with numerous civic problems which need to be resolved at the earliest.
As the nallah at the entrance of the colony remains blocked and damaged, there remain little space for motorists to pass through it. At times there remains the apprehension that the vehicle may not skid into the nallah. As it remains blocked, whole filthy water escapes onto the road causing water logging and consequent problem to residents. Besides, the drains at several places too have got blocked and in turn have become fertile breeding ground for mosquitoes. The Colony is also facing the problem of congress grass which has erupted on both sides of the lanes causing not only skin diseases but has also become shelter for snakes and scorpions
Despite garbage collecting van pressed into service, one witnesses huge garbage littered over lanes and by-lanes of the Colony.
The main nallah that flows down to the west creates nuisance for the residents living close to it, needs to be covered.
There are several lanes which have not been blacktopped yet by the JMC, need to be taken care of.
Hope the authorities would take cognizance of the grievances enumerated above.

Plea to JKPSC
We have applied for the posts of Assistant professor in Biotechnology in Higher Education Department vide Notification No: 10- PSC (DR-P) OF 2017. Now, after waiting for four years, our names have not been included in the list of candidates vide PSC notification no.PSC/DR/AP-Biotechnology/HE dated 05-08-2021. Most of the candidates who have done PhD according to UGC guidelines 2009 have not been considered for points and ICAR Net Candidates qualified are rejected for appearing in the interview. On enquiry from PSC office, it has been told that PhD is the qualifying degree, its marks will not be included. UGC exempts the candidates from NET exam whose degree is according to UGC guidelines 2009. But JKPSC is not following this. Moreover, ARS Net is mutually recognized by the UGC and CSIR. JKPSC has rejected lot of candidates who have qualified ARS NET. They want only CSIR Net. This is not fair. As PSC office has included the marks of 10th, 12th etc why they are not including the points of PhD Degree and ARS NET which are 6 points and which may be included so that we can be called for the interview. We request the concerned authorities to look into the matter so that we too are eligible for interviews.

Avoid banned thread
The month of Savan and Bhadroo are very religious months .We are living in this democratic country with full peace and harmony. It is responsibility of every citizen to obey the orders issued by Government from time to time. On the eve of Rakshabandhan and Jamanasthmi people of Jammu fly kites with great joy .While flying kites cotton thread was used in the past, but now majority of people use plastic thread .This plastic thread is as dangerous as sword especially for people driving two wheelers, children and old people.Many cases of injury on the neck and even death are reported in hospitals everyyear.
Recently a Municipal Corporation Jammu’s corporator was trapped by this thread and got his neck injured but was saved as he was wearing a banner around hid neck. A minor child of Sarwal also lost his precious life due to injury in his neck because of this deadly thread. No doubt flying kites is joyful and even it is also considered to be part of these holy festivals, but this joy can be a source of sorrow for many because of wrong choice of thread used for this joyful activity. People should realise the ill-effects of this deadly thread.Parents can also check that their children do not use this banned thread.It is also the duty of all citizens to act as per prevailing laws and follow the orders.

Construct concrete bridge over Dudar river
This is to draw the attention of the District Administration Udhampur towards the suffering of people living in villages like Dhanoo, Seen Brahemana, Sundrani, Muttal, Samole etc. due to absence of a bridge over Dudar river.
It may be mentioned here that the old bridge over the river got damaged when heavy machinery was passed over it. After it, tenders were floated for a new bridge in the month of November 2020. Work on it was started in 2021. However, the contractor was removed after he was allegedly accused of damaging the old iron bridge. Thereafter no work was executed on this bridge. As a result people are suffering badly. Now, people have been forced to cross the nallah on foot which has become quite risky. When the river is in spate during rains, no one dares to cross it, as such people face problems.
We, therefore, request the administration to construct the new bridge without any further delay.
