Panthers Party alleges inaction by authorities in Supreme Court 10/8/2014 11:15:46 PM New Delhi, Oct 8 : Centre and J-K government are not taking adequate steps to bring life to normal in the flood-hit state and thousands of people are still camping in broken tents, Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party alleged in the Supreme Court today. In an affidavit, the party said, "Relief material is not delivered to the needy and many people complained that they were not being provided food regularly". "In Srinagar, thousands of people are camping in some broken tents, mostly provided by NGOs," the affidavit said, adding, "streets and lanes of Srinagar are stinking because of the foul smell, may be due to the fact that dead animals have not been removed till date and many persons are still untraceable". It sought "urgent attention" by the Central and state governments which should ensure that a reasonable piece of land is given to each family who has lost agricultural land anywhere in the state. There is also need for giving free medical care and education to all the school-going children in villages," it said. Panthers Party chief Bhim Singh had argued the matter earlier in the apex court, which had appointed a five-member committee headed by Senior Registrar of Jammu and Kashmir High Court to ascertain the ground situation of the flood-affected state and asked it to file its report within two weeks.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
