| SSH demands better facilities to pilgrims at ‘Yatri Niwas’ | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, July 5: Shiv Sena Hindustan (SSH) is facing lot of difficulties in running the free langer at yatri niwas (Bhagwati Nagar) for Amarnath yatries, said Dimple Kohli president SSH at a press conference here today.
Kohli said, no doubt Dy. Commissioner, Jammu has directed the consumer affairs and public distribution department to open a fair price shop at the base camp for providing essential items to langer wallas, on control rates, but till date no shop has opened by the concerned authorities and added due to this callous attitude of the authorities it becomes difficult to run the show.
He said, here are reports that under the shadow of yatra officials of CA & PD are selling it as black in the market. He also said, the sheds provided for the langers by PWD are also not upto the mark, and by chance if it rains, all the material kept inside will get destroyed. He also demanded that police tents in front of langer be removed as yatries face problem while coming to langer for tea, lunch etc.
Kohli along with Rakesh Kak who also addressed the media said, it is very strange and surprising that till date neither governor nor chief minister visited yatries niwas to have first hand information about the problems being faced by the yatries. Same in the case of other ministers. They said yatra give nearly Rs 700 Cr to the shrine board. He said at the time of Hajj whole govt machinery are on tender hook in providing all facilities to the Hajjis.
He also demanded that yatri niwas be kept open since early morning as yatries reach Jammu from various part of the country in the morning. Both the leaders urged upon the govt. to provide better facilities to the pilgrims, otherwise SSH will be compel to launch agitation for the same. The other senior leaders present during conference were Vikas Deewan, Shiv Kumar Sharma and H.K. Sharma etc.
