| Kashmira Vahini espresses concern over Govt's threat to stop power to Jagti tenements | | | ET Plus Report
Jammu, Mar 15: Kashmira Vahini has expressed its grave concern over the recent statement of Minister of state for power Vikar Rasool in the Assembly regarding government's decision to stop power supply to the inmates of Jagti tenements if they fail to pay the bill arrears worth Rs 6.91 cr.
In a meeting of Kashmira Vahini at TRT Nagrota ,chaired by its newly appointed organizing secretary Sushma Rishi members strongly condemned the policy of "discrimination and neglect" exhibited by the authorities towards the hapless displaced Kashmiri Pandits.
Rishi said while state government runs deficit of nearly Rs 2400 cr in power sector which would be compensated by asking adequate funds from the central government, the poor inmates of Jagti tenements are ironically threatened to face miseries for no faults of theirs.
"It's brazen on part of the government not to link their monthly meagre cash relief with unprecedented price and inflation index and just adding Rs 400 hundred per person per month to the existing rate of Rs 1200 per person per month," he said.
Dr Kshama Kaul the national spokesperson of KV while taking stock of the ongoing preparations regarding the forthcoming Navreh celebrations in Jammu warned the government against "clandestinely" renaming the traditional religio-cultural places like Hari Parbat, Shankaracharya hillock as Koh-i-Maran and Suleman teng besides the historic Srinagar as Shahar-e-Khas.
"This tantamount to effacing the traces of thousands of years old Kashmiri culture under a pre-meditated conspiracy," she said and stressed the need to resist the nefarious designs of cultural genocide at the hands of forces inimical to the reli-geo cultural co-existence in Kashmir. |
