 EARLY TIMES REPORT
POONCH, Nov 15: Criticizing the much hyped Prime Minister's package, the Youth National Conference (YNC) said today that in reality it offers nothing to border dwellers who have been suffering due to continuous shelling.
YNC president Jammu province Ajaz Jan while interacting with the people during his visit to Sabjian, which remained the target of shelling several weeks ago, said that the border inhabitants who are suffering, deserve a better deal, which, however, has not found any favour from the PDP-BJP coalition government.
He also lamented over ignoring the Mughal Road and said the coalition cares two hoots for communication network in remote and far off areas. He said the blue print of Loran-Tangmarg Road was formulated in the government led by Omar Abdullah, with an allocation of Rs 2 crores for marking the alignment but now the PDP is projecting it as its own conception. "People can differentiate between the real work and gimmickry", he said and cautioned the coalition government not to test the patience of the people and instead concentrate on development, which is being seen nowhere. He said the road network in Pir Panchal, Poonch-Rajouri and remote pockets of Kathua have altogether been ignored.
Later, Jan visited the residence of locals whose houses have suffered damages due to recent earthquake. |
