| Manjit Singh tours villages; interacts with Panches, Sarpanches | | | Early Times Report
Vijaypur, July 18: Seeking intervention of the Lt Governor, J&K Apni Party senior leader and former minister Manjit Singh today has demanded developmental activities in villages being inhabited by Scheduled Tribe and Scheduled Caste in Parmandal Block.
During a tour to the villages of the Block, the J&K Apni Party senior leaders Manjit Singh and Saleem Alam was shocked to see the under-development in the villages where the Scheduled Tribe and Scheduled Caste population lives. “There is no connectivity nor have they been provided clean drinking water. If some areas have tap water supplies that too have not scheduled time,” said Manjit Singh, on his return from the tour.
Issuing a press statement, the former minister addressed the Panchayat members including Panch and Sarpanches of the Parmandal Block. These PRIs complain that they were neglected by the previous Government and no developmental work has been done in their areas compelling them (Scheduled Tribe and Scheduled Caste population) to live primitive lives, said Manjit Singh quoting the concerns of the Panchayat members. The JKAP senior leader said that in absence of tap water supplies, the people of this block drink water from the pond and other bodies. “There are apprehensions of water borne diseases in Parmandal. Hence, the government should immediately come forward to help these nomads,” said Manjit Singh. |
