| PHE employees' strike keeps people thirsty: PDP hits out at Govt for delaying tactics | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 2 : Water crises forced irate residents of Jammu west including children and women to come out in protest against PHE Department today. The residents led by PDP candidate from Jammu West, Daman Bhasin held a strong demonstration against PHE authorities, PHE Minister as well as against Government for not conceding the demands of PHE employees who are on strike for the last three days and due to which people are facing acute water scarcity. Led by Bhasin, residents blocked road for one hour and shouted slogans against the PHE department which, they alleged, has failed to make them available adequate drinking water supply. Addressing the protestors, Bhasin said that government had failed to resolve the issue of PHE workers putting people to hardships as their strike led to water scarcity. He alleged that the tankers which were deployed to supply water in water deficit areas of the state were selling the same in black. Bhasin said that this is sheer inability on the part of coalition government that employees of various departments are today on strike, taps are running dry and city and its peripheries are in complete commotion. Had the government acted well in time and listened to issues confronting employees such a situation would not have arisen wherein people have been deprived of even minimum basic requirement of potable water. The government, Bhasin added had been claiming of having inaugurated several water supply schemes and regularised thousands of contractual and ad hoc employees but when it comes to providing potable water to people who have been paying for every drop of it, the government has shown its helplessness and allowed such a commotion to prevail in city and its peripheries. Urging people to strengthen PDP he said that time has come for the state to witness a 'Big Change'. The PDP, he said is committed to redress employees' issues, help youth become self reliant, give people their due and ensure development in the state in a big way. This, he said can become possible only when people start showing faith in PDP leadership. |
