Jammu, Aug 21- Socialistic Democratic Party President Dr Darakhshan Andrabi today visited about a dozen villages adjoining the mega Baglihar Power project and took stock of the pathetic condition of these villages.
Addressing several gathering during the tour Andrabi said the condition of the villages adjoining Baglihar Power Project is very distressing. These villages have been badly hit by the construction of this mega project. Their land has got affected, roads have got destroyed and pure rural life has been badly hit and disturbed. She said that at the time of execution of Baglihar Power project, as per a written agreement, it was made mandatory on the Construction Company to take special measures for rehabilitation and development of the villages affected by the project. But on the ground nothing in this context has been done for so many years now. She said that despite repeated demonstrations and agitations in Mufti and Azad regimes no steps were taken to redress these affected villagers. Omar’s government is almost ten months old now and still then nothing good has come out for these poor villagers. She urged the government to take pity on these hapless people and initiate proper measures for their rehabilitation.
Ajay Sharma, Noor Mohammad Kaloo and Peer Abdul Majeed Shah accompanied Dr. Andrabi during the visit.
