SRINAGAR, Nov 26: Ahead of the upcoming DDC and by election 2020, local populace looks this election in a different way, they believe that in the name of Article 370 and 35 A, contesting candidates are just showing green meadows while they failed to bring any sort of development in terms of electricity, water, roads, and other daily issues.
Despite having many power projects at least 4-5 in Uri and Boniyar tehsils of north Kashmir's Baramulla district, people are very much disappointed with the previous regimes, as according to them they failed to bring any comfort whatsoever to the local populace of this border district, said a local resident of Boniyar.
He said that power is being generated from here, and irony is that we are powerless; we witness power just for 4-8 hours in a day, while we are paying huge electricity tariffs, and now what sort of development has taken place in this border district.
For God's sake tell us that how come it is possible that a Sarpanch or District Development Council (DDC) can save Art 370, or 35 A, when the former chief ministers of J&K have failed in doing so, locals observed.
Locals are very much disappointed with the government, they said that mere false promises with We are being shown green meadows only, say residents
We are facing many problems like unemployment, there are no good roads, there is no clean drinking water, unscheduled power cuts have become a daily affair, and much more, do they speak about it, said locals.
Locals aggrieved it is our right to cast the vote, but the time has gone now when they used to make us fools by promising stars from sky and much more, we are not going to waste our vote.
Now they have adopted a policy like as it is said that it is good sometimes to hold the candle to the devil, and then after they are hardly seen here, they ignore the general public as they had never got votes from us, said disheartened people of Uri area.
Power is being generated here in Uri and still after we are the worst sufferers of it, had they ever focused on these local issues.
From the last seventy years we have been shown only the green meadows, where no development has taken place as it should have been here in the Uri sector.
We fail to understand why they are not speaking of developmental issues and it is useless to lock the stable door after the horse is stolen, now the time is over, let them introspect about their false promises, locals added. |
