| Harsh Dev appeals Lt Governor to wave off water, power tariff for three months | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, May 21: Harsh Dev Singh, Chairman-JKNPP has urged Lt. Governor Girish Chandra Murmu to waive off power tariff and water usage charges of J&K residents for three months. Singh said that such generous approach of the government would be in line with the pious obligations of a truly people friendly government in a welfare state.
“With all sections of the society having been economically hit due to the Corona pandemic, the government needed to show compassion and provide special succour particularly to the financially distressed poor and marginalized sections of the society. The labourers, the farmers, the small traders, the self employed, taxi transport and auto operators, the Rehri and Phari owners have been worst affected due to lengthy lockdown and no source of earnings during the last more than two months. With the poor sections having exhausted all their savings, they are finding it hard to make both ends meet while at the same time having to pay various kinds of cess and tariffs,” said Harsh.
Seeking further the personal indulgence of the Lt. Governor towards the scarcity of essential commodities including food-grains in remote and far flung areas, Harsh regretted that several unscrupulous traders had resorted to undue profiteering at the cost of poor people.
“The articles of day to day use were being sold at exorbitant rates by these reckless elements by taking undue advantage of the prevailing crisis. Free ration facility was also not being made available to all with several complaints pouring in day in and day out,” said Singh.
