 Early Times Report
Jammu, June 2: Vikram Malhotra, General Secretary JKPCC, today undertook tour of old city of Jammu and found the lack of basic infrastructure facilities.
The residents and traders of Pacca Danga and historic Khilone Wali Gali gathered in huge number and narrated the apathy of civic authorities to Malhotra towards the poor conditions of lane and drains in the area and collection of garbage, unscheduled power cut and lack of drinking water.
While addressing the public Malhotra assured the people to take necessary steps as early as possible. In his address said that poor sanitation and the condition of the lanes with huge pot holes in one of the busiest streets of Jammu city exposes the hallow claims of "VIKAS" and "Swatch Bharat". He said that in spite of two MLAs and one MLC from Jammu East, people are being forced to live in such sub human conditions.
He added that the BJP government in the state has failed to implement the programme of the central government and has been a huge disappointment for the people of Jammu. He said Jammu city cannot become smart only by installing Traffic signals at every nook and corner but only by solving the basic problems of waste management, water, electricity and proper roads. He warned the authorities and the JMC if the grievances of the people are not readdressed at the earliest the Congress party will protest and take to the streets.
