| Dilapidated roads, dug up lanes, choked drains shatter Jammu's smart city dreams | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, July 25: Though the government has plans to make Jammu a smart city, but the has been selected for making it a Smart city but the condition of lanes, drains, roads in heart of the city mock at the announcement.
A visit to various localities of Gandhi Nagar constituency, which is otherwise called the posh-locality of the Jammu, has been exposing the cleanliness campaign such as Swatch Bharat Abhiyaan as well as the funds misused by the successive legislators of the constituency.
Most of the lanes in the localities of Gandhi Nagar constituency have been dug-up by the concerned agency while the roads are also in pathetic conditions. "Most of the roads inside the localities have lot of potholes and even agencies have no funds to get the same repaired", a local said, adding that apart from the roads in the posh areas of the constituency, other roads have been speaking volumes about the non-serious attitude of the concerned legislators.
"Where the legislators have spend their constituency development funds of each year if the roads are in such a dilapidated condition", another local said, adding that the roads in Narwal area have not been constructed by the concerned authorities for the last over two decades.
The shopkeepers of the area have complained that despite taking up the matter with the concerned authorities including the Corporation as well as Jammu Development Authority and the legislator, nothing has been done. "Once the former MLA had visited the Narwal yard but had not mustered courage to come out of the car to speak with the shopkeepers. He had assured that he would do something but in the last two decades nothing has been done", the shopkeepers had said.
Another local said that the legislators were of the habit of installing their name-plates for petty works such as starting black-topping or on the inauguration of a toilet complex but apart from few selected areas, they have not bothered about the entire Gandhi Nagar constituency.
These legislators must present a white-paper on the spending of their Constituency Development Fund (CDF) during their tenure as legislators. |
