Kishtwar Jan 8:- The people of Marwah, Kishrtwar have accused the Chief Minister of failure to launch air service for the tehsil and adjoining areas. The locals said the Chief Minister had promised to start the service but backtracked from his promise.
Pertinent to mention the people remain confined to their homes during winter as heavy snowfall cuts the area from rest of the country. The area not only lacks road and communication facilities, but lags behind in health care and other facilities like electricity and water.
The area heaved a sigh of relief in 2009 when Industries and Commerce Minister Surjeet Singh Salathia along with MLA Kishtwar formally inaugurated the air service. But for unknown reasons the service has been withdrawn.
The locals registered protest when former Governor SK Sinha visited the area to assess the losses due to snow tsunami.
The locals said Omar Abdullah promised air service during electioneering in 2009. They reminded the |chief Minister of his promise. A youth, Imtiyaz Ahmed of Marwah accused Omar Abdullah of backtracking from his promises. “Omar promised us employment and air service during winter but nothing has been done till date”, he said.
Imtiyaz said he lost his friend , Shabir Ahmed Nehru who had come to Kishtwar via Anantnag for an interview but died on way to Kishtwar. Shabir was later buried at Anantnag since the road leading to Warwan got blocked due to heavy snowfall at Marghan top and Warwan. |
