| Katra, Reasi discriminated in due share to employment opportunities | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 20: Strongly castigating the NC-Congress Coalition of neglecting the far flung areas of Reasi belt, JKDF candidate for Udhampur-Doda constituency, Anil Gupta said areas of Katra and Reasi have been discriminated in its due share to employment opportunities and equal development.
"Despite vast natural resources, State Government's incapability to utilize the same have given chance to outsiders of exploring the same for their benefits. Conversely these natural resources could have provided various employment avenues to youth of the region and raised the level of development. Citing the example of Salal Hydel Project He Said, Despite such a big project in Reasi, the area is hardly benefited as the major chunk of Power generated is outsourced," Said Anil Gupta
Addressing a series of meetings and road-shows in Katra, Pouni , Ransoo and Shivkhori in Reasi District Anil Gupta said, Having Holly shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi in its vicinity and hub of trade and tourism , the approaching roads to Katra town and its surrounding areas are depilated and witness the apathy of Government and those who represent this area since last ten years. Lakhs of tourists visit this place for pilgrimage to Mata Vaishno Devi shrine every year, Tourism is the measure source of income for the people of this area but hardly any effort has been made to develop more tourist sites in this area despite of having vast potential for the same owing to its Natural and scenic beauty.
JKDF is concerned about the plight of VDC's and SPO's who played vital role in neutralizing militancy in this belt. They have made big sacrifices while performing their duties towards the nation. JKDF shall strive for enhancement of honorarium of these forces and if given a chance to represent the Constituency shall demand for conversion of these forces into special task force on the pattern of central paramilitary forces.
Recalling the progress made in development of region during the tenure of Chaman Lal Gupta, he said, had the works initiated by Gupta not shelved by the successive Government's especially the lackluster attitude of present Congress representative, the picture of the region could have been different.
Anil Gupta appealed people to strengthen his hands by casting their precious votes in order to provide fair representation of their aspirations in Parliament of country. |
