Border areas worst victims of Govt apathy, Pak sponsored terror: Harsh 2/17/2020 9:52:53 PM Early Times Report HIRANAGAR, Feb 17: While the illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, Myanmar and Afghanistan had settled in prime locations in Jammu and its vicinity during the rule of successive regimes, the people of border villages of Jammu region continued to suffer for want of shelter at safer zones, said Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and former Minister. Despite the tall sloganeering of various political parties during elections making lofty promises and assuring doles to the people of border belt, said Singh, none of the promises made by them had been redeemed after they assumed power. Having been cheated by the traditional political parties, the people of these areas were fast losing faith in the political system, he rued. He said that people should genuinely differentiate between parties that stand solely for power and those sincerely fighting for the cause of the public. He was addressing huge public meeting in Jandi village of Hiranagar constituency today alongwith Yash Paul Kundal, State President Young Panthers and Ex-Minister. Expressing concern over the deteriorating security scenario on the borders, Singh regretted that in the wake of Pak sponsored militants creating terror, Pakistan had been opening unprovoked fire and pounding Indian posts and forward hamlets all along the IB and LoC in Samba, Kathua, Akhnoor, Poonch and Rajouri sectors leading to panic and killings of several soldiers and civilians. He said that under a devious plan to cause further mayhem in J&K and Jammu region in particular Pakistan army reportedly had brought several militants of Jem and LeT outfits at launching pads to push them into our side under the cover of shelling. He warned the Saffron party to fulfill its promise of 5 Marla of land to each family at safer zones, adequate bunkers for emergency situation, adequate ex-gratia each to the family of the person killed in Pak firing, compensation to the family of the injured, employment for the next of kin of the deceased, special recruitment drive for border youth, and adequate assessment based compensation to the farmers for the loss of their crops as relief measures.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
