Jammu, Dec 7: All Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Conference, AJKPC an amalgam organization of elected Panches and Sarpanches of the state have strongly condemned the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Panchayati Raj Minister for their failure in getting the release of special grant for panchayats from union government. The AJKPC has also accused the state government to render Panchayats as helpless institutions.
Anil Sharma, president of the organization has said that the due to carelessness and casual approach of the state government especially of Panchayati Raj Minister Ali Mohammad Sagar the much hyped grant of Rs. 10 Lac for each Panchayat of the state has been put to back burner by the union government. Anil also said that due to continuous efforts of 33,000 Panchayat members the union government had promised to grant special package to the state government for Panchayat Development Fund on the pattern of MLA CD Fund but the state government could not pursue the case with union government resulting which now there appears no immediate release of the said funds.
The AJKPC leader while taking a dig on the National Conference said that those cherished autonomy for themselves are now denying same to the Panchayats in Jammu and Kashmir and this is why they are opposing implementation of 73rd amendment of Indian Constitution which is the only solution to empower Panchayati Raj Institutions.
He also said that in absence of any autonomous status for the panchayats in Jammu and Kashmir these institution have been rendered helpless. The state government should also clarify its stand on providing security to the Panchayat members who are living under fear psychosis due to terror threat. |
