JAMMU, Mar 8: Only good governance can remove trust deficit in public life. This was stated by Ashok Sharma, National Coordinator, Congress Vichar Vibhag, while expressing serious concern over unchecked rising prices of essential commodities and lack of public utility services in twin border districts of Poonch and Rajouri.
Sharma said most of the schools are without teachers and health centres without doctors and medicines in this remote and hilly belt, which must be viewed seriously by the State and Central Governments and corrective measures should be taken. He was addressing a largely attended gathering during ‘Chourahe Pe Charcha’ organized by BCC Dhangri.
He urged Prime Minister to fulfill his promises that he would personally take care of this border belt but now his representatives despite being in Government are busy to enrich themselves and depriving the people of ration, road connectivity, widow, handicapped and old age pension, seed and fertilizer, drinking water, electricity, 100 day assured employment under MGNREGA, issuance of caste, PRC, voter list copies, ration card, land pass books, free education, nutrition in Anganwaris, mid-day meals in schools etc.
Sharma demanded CBI probe in Urmila+3 killing case and recent attack on political worker in SDM office Kalakote or judicial probe by sitting High Court or Retired Supreme Court Judge to ensure justice to the victims and their families.
Prominent among those who participated in the Charcha were Sajjad Mirza, Arun Sharma, Baldev Singh, Masha Behari Lal, Arjun Sharma, Amar Nath Shah, Harish Kumar, Balwant Raj Mehta, Ch Mohktar Hussain, Kasturi Shah, N Kumar Sharma, Ch Abdul Khaliq etc.
