Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 17: Lambasting the Jammu based Ministers for their failure to ensure incorporation of pressing Jammu based issues in the financial package unfolded by the PM in Srinagar, Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP and Former Minister sought the review of the said package so as to ensure the inclusion of construction of much needed Fly-Overs in Jammu as also the much awaited beautification of the city of temples.
He regretted that repeated announcements and tall slogans given by the government to decongest the city by provision of fly-overs have fallen flat with no action having been initiated by the government to tackle the ever growing menace and no demand projected by the mandated leaders of Jammu for funding of the same under PM's special package.
Singh further called for adequate allocation under the said package for vigorous beautification measures for the city of temples so as to attract the tourists and Mata Vaishno Devi pilgrims and to ensure their prolonged stay with a view to give a fillip to Jammu's economy.
He regretted that no mention was made of development of Mubark Mandi cable car project, Heritage sites of Jammu including Mubarak Mandi, Baghe-Bahu, beautification of Raghunath Bazar and the historical temples of Jammu, beautification of embankments of river Tawi on the pattern of Jhelum besides development of Patnitop, Surinsar, Mansar, Sanasar etc as tourist resorts in the said package.
Naresh Chib, Shankar Singh Chib, Gagan Pratap Singh, Sham Ghorka, Kesar Parveen, Renu Singh and Chetan Sharma were also present on the occasion. |
