National Conference leaders today exposed and condemned the failures of Lieutenant Governor’s Adm inistration.
In this regard, a meeting was organized today in the Jammu North Assembly Segment in which the Ankush Abrol Provincial Joint Secretary JKNC was chief guest.
Dr. Vikas Sharma Co-ordinator Jammu District (Urban) and Zonal Secretary JKNC presided over. The meeting was organized by Rajendra Kumar.
During the meeting, the old women present there said that their pension has been stopped for the last two years and no one is ready to listen to them with the result their living has become very difficult.
They said that drug addiction has ruined the future of our children. Earlier we used to get first free electricity, free water, they said adding that now despite the installation of smart meters, we are not getting uninterrupted power supply with inflated power bills being sent.
Ankush Abrol and Dr Vikas Sharma gave a patient hearing to the problems of the public and assured them that all their problems will be taken up with the concerned Authority for appropriate action to redress their issues.
Ankush Abrol while addressing a meeting said that for the last 10 years, the people of Jammu and Kashmir are in trouble as no one is listening to them. He further said that today the life of the people has become miserable in all respects.
BJP snatched statehood from people of J&K and deprived them of elected government and now we are being subjected to heavy taxation in different forms, he said and added that nobody listens to the people and they are made subservient to bureaucrats.
Abrol also said that the graph of unemployment has increased tremendously with the passage of time and the youth is diverting towards use of drugs out of desperation and utter frustration due to policy paralysis and deep rooted corruption in every fabric of the Govt system, he rued.
Also speaking, Dr Vikas Sharma said that only if the National Conference gets majority, all your problems can be resolved and in the coming assembly election, all should join hands together to support Ajay Sadhotra from Jammu North Constituency to ensure victory by maximum votes.
Dr Sharma further said that the present government has increased the electricity bills since the last 5 years but there is no regular power supply.
Despite the humid and hot weather, the present LG administration is not worried to minimise the problems of the public. He added that scarcity of electricity leads to drinking water scarcity with regular interruption of water supply, he bemoaned.
He urged the people to strengthen the hands of Dr Farooq Abdullah and Jenab Omar Abdullah so that NC could once again form a popular government in J&K and mitigate the sufferings of poor masses.
Others who spoke on the occasion were Rajinder Kumar, Kewal Bhagat, Karan Singh, Shamsher Singh and others.
