People high hopes from NC MP's to raise their burning issues in Parliament: Rattan Lal Gupta

Early Times Report
JAMMU, June 24: After the failure of LG's administration in resolving the burning public issues, people have now started pinning hopes on the newly elected MPs of National Conference from the union territory. The Senior NC leader emphasized that the people have high expectations from the National Conference, underscoring the Party's responsibility to comprehensively address their aspirations.
This was stated by Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial President JK NC Jammu in a statement issued to media persons here on Monday.
The senior NC leader said that people have high hopes from the elected representatives as they firmly believed that these MPs will raise their issues in the Parliament for an early redressal because under the LG's administration all their hopes have been shattered with the phlegmatic response of the present dispensation.
The senior NC leader said that the unemployment is the biggest issue of J&K as the incumbent dispensation has failed to address this issue leading to frustration among the youngsters in J&K.
The NC stalwart leader also raised the issue of power shortage in the Union Territory. He said that it is strange that the people sitting at helm never get tired of self-praise when the issue of uninterrupted power supply is highlighted but on ground things are contrary as power outage is a new norm in J&K with people living in both metered and non-metered areas facing unscheduled power cuts even during the extreme weather conditions. He also pointed out that despite severe dearth of electricity in J&K, the government is not justified to sell power to Rajasthan. He said that NHPC has control over five hydel-projects (power stations) including Salal (690 MW), Uri-I (480 MW), Dulhasti (390 MW), Sewa-II (120 MW) and Chutak (44 MW) totaling installed capacity of 1724 MW in Jammu and Kashmir but then also the major parts of the UT face acute power crisis. He demanded that the J&K government should take back these projects for fulfilling the local demand besides early expedite the construction of Sawalkote power project.
Rattan Lal Gupta said that the industrial policy brought in with much fanfare has remained on papers only because the sector is likely to remain sick with no changes on ground as the people at helm of affairs have drastically failed to win the confidence of investors as it evident by the fact that no major industry has been established in Jammu region in last 10 years. He said that even the dearth of potable water in the region also says it all about the inefficiency of the LG's administration. He recalled the initiatives taken by the then NC government under the realms of Dr Farooq Abdullah, especially regarding the Chenab lift water scheme to address water scarcity of Jammu city and its Kandi belt but all in vain as things were abandoned and still pending with Centre govt. He also demanded for early restoration of the statehood. He said that every day in J&K under the status of a UT has been undermining the due rights of the people as the J&K deserves much more.
