Sources criticized state government, saying that one hand GoI has approved funds for the state but astoundingly politicians and Babus (Bureaucrats) seem not interested to use the benefit of Centrally Sponsored Scheme as a result of which most of the projects were incomplete and few others were not implemented. If the projects are implemented, it will help the unemployed youth across the state to earn their livelihood.
However, Director Animal Husbandry Jammu Dr S L Bhagat, he didn't respond even repeated phone calls made by this journo. |
