Mr. Sewa Singh Bali, General Secretary, Panthers Trade Union (PTU) and State President of Body Building Sports Association (BBSA) has urged upon the Hon’ble Prime Minister and Home Minister of India to save J&K Ladhak UTs from “non-governance” and bedlam like situation in the erstwhile state degraded to UTs. He was addressing a press conference in Jammu today. Addressing media persons in Jammu after one week whirlwind tour of Kherikund, Chadoora, Budgam, Srinagar, Baramulla, Kupwara, Kashmir, Lolab, Sogam, Lasipora in Kashmir, Qazigund, Banihal, Ukhral, Doda, Batote, Udhampur in Jammu province, Mr. Singh said that on ground in these rural areas administration is almost nonexistent, seeing the non serious approach of government functionaries towards the common masses in J&K. He complimented general population of said remote villages, towns for their mutual love and concern for each other.
Mr. Sewa Singh Bali called on the bereaved family of martyred SPO namely Altaf Ahmed resident of Chadoora District Budgam and expressed condolences and sympathy with the wailing family, very poor with hand to mouth living. Needless to mention Martyred Altaf was the only bread earner. His mother is suffering from heart disease which needs costly treatment.
Mr. Singh said fully trained SPOs in automatic weapons over 12,000 virtual Police Constables have been disengaged by the DGP without any rhyme or reason. This is very serious in the cloudy weather of Jammu, Kashmir, Mr. Bali pointed out. Public is facing hardships for want of governance, responsible functionaries in govt offices, hospitals, reportedly are playing truant under one pretext or the other in remote corners of both provinces.
Mr. Sewa Singh Bali complained that despite specific orders of ADGP to all SSPs in the areas, no proper security was provided to him and the public meetings of thousands in numbers which he addressed at various places in Jammu province. He demanded strict action against SSP Doda, Ramban for not ensuring security of men, women, youth who had gathered in the meetings.
Mr. Bali demanded re-engagement of all the SPOs terminated from service on war footings.
Sarpanch Imtiaz Ahmed, Sijita Ram, Farooq Ahmed Ganai, Gulam Qazil and Raju were also present in the press conference.
