Early Times Report
Srinagar, June 4 Expressing grave concern over mounting woes of the common masses due to non availability of basic necessities, People’s Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti said that Omar Abdullah led State Government has failed to provide basic requirements like power and water to the people.
"In the scorching heat when the temperature is hovering between 44 and 45 degree Celsius, people are confronting to get power and drinking water", she said and observed that official machinery seems to have completely collapsed because some areas are facing power curtailments between 16 to 18 hours and some localities are not getting water supply for days together.
She regretted that approach of those who are at the helm of the affairs was pathetic towards hardship being faced by the people.
She warned that PDP as a responsible opposition would adopt agitation path to force the government to minimize miseries of the people. "We would not remain a mute spectator to the apathetic attitude of the Government", she asserted.
Mehbooba was addressing series of public meetings at Bantalab, Krishna Nagar and Janipur area. She regretted people were struggling to get basic amenities, leaders of ruling parties were not coming out of their homes. She said that it is all due the casual approach being adopted by the State Government that residents of the city are not getting such basic necessities. "
On the one hand Government has hiked charges of water and electricity while on the other residents have been struggling to get potable water and power", she pointed out and added that since formation of this Government not even a single step has been taken so far to mitigate woes of the people. "Every year during summer residents of Jammu have to confront with the shortage of drinking water and power supply but except promises nothing has been done to solve this problem once for all", she regretted. She informed that during the regime of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed a comprehensive plan, funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) was implemented to minimize the scarcity of water in Jammu during the summer. She, however, said that present regime has neither formulated nor implemented any plan to cope with this problem. Prominent among those who addressed the meetings including Thakur Balbir Singh, Shanti Devi, Rajinder Singh Manhas, R K Bali, Suram Singh, Capt Anil Gour, Suresh Sharma, Rafiq Malik, Dharminder Singh, Maan Singh, Gurdeep Singh Panday, Varinder Singh Sonu, Balbir Singh, Deepak Kumar, Bharat Kumar, Chaman Angral, Abjeet Jasrotia, Puneet Jamwal, Balbir Singh Baba, Rashpal Singh Billowaria, Daljeet Singh Dicky.
