RAJOURI, July 26: Senior BJP leader and MLC Vibodh Gupta today visited the remote border village Chani Prat and took stock of the various problems being faced by the people of the area.
The locals informed the MLC that their area is the most neglected area of the State. Some locals raised the issue that Chani Prat which used to be an administrative centre of the area before independence, is now even out of the tourism map of the State.
The locals regretted that even the historic temple of the area which is one of the most important religious place, has never got any attention from the Government. They demanded that a high level team from Archeological Survey of India must visit this area and revive the historic monuments in the area which can act as a huge attraction for the tourists.
While addressing the gathering, Vibodh Gupta shared the concern of the locals and once again reiterated the fact that present Government is putting more focus on the neglected and far off areas. He said that until and unless the last man standing in the queue and the last village of the State is properly developed, the Government will continue to work in a missionary mode to achieve this.
While referring to the importance of peace for development, he said that peace loving people of the State have suffered a lot due to the antinational activities of organizations like Huriyat. He further added that present unemployment problem in Kashmir is only because of these anti-national elements.
He said that Government’s tough stand against these leaders of Huriyat is an example of the Government’s commitment towards restoring peace and normalcy in Kashmir and to revive the billion dollar tourism industry.
