Jammu | Apr 10
Stating that dialogue was the only effective means to settle issues, Social Welfare Minister Abdul Gani Vakil has made a fresh appeal to Hurriyat Conference to come to negotiating table to help in working out solution to state’s problem.
Addressing a public meeting at Mehran Mandrian in Akhnoor today, the Minister said, “Those shying away from dialogue process cannot be well wishers of people”. Barring dialogue there was no alternative to resolve issues and sort out differences, he said adding ‘gun’ only brings destruction and miseries to people and complicates problems.
Member Parliament Madan Lal Sharma and MLA Akhnoor Sham Lal Sharma were also present on the occasion.
The Minister said marked improvement in security scenario in the state, brought about by people friendly policies of Azad led government was affording an ideal opportunity for settling state centric issues for good. It would be a big blunder to waste this opportunity, he added.
Vakil reiterated time bound engagement of 13422 Anganwari workers and helpers within a month, saying application forms in this connection will be issued from April 14 on Monday. The deserving candidates will deposit their applications in their respective CDPO offices upto 10 days, he maintained.
Earlier, the Minister distributed cheques worth Rs. 5.40 lakh among 430 beneficiaries of the area. He dwelt at length on measures taken to simplify procedures for obtaining security assistance.
Madan Lal Sharma in his speech highlighted the development measures taken to restore historical glory of Akhnoor town and its periphery. He said a network of roads, schools and bridges was established in Akhnoor for its speedier development.
He also sought relaxation in norms for sanctioning anganwari centres in Kandi belt of Akhnoor in view of its sparse population. He also pleaded for covering SC/STs of the area under welfare schemes. |
