JAMMU: “Now that elections are over the state administration must gear itself up and respond to people’s issues”, said People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader Abdul Hamid Choudhary here on Sunday. He said that cities and villages were all facing neglect since past over two months and now time has come to deliver and address people’s issues which were pending because of Model Code of Conduct (MCC).
Choudhary Hamid while drawing the attention of administration towards rising health issues of people in villages especially Nagrota sought adequate deployment of doctors and paramedics besides providing medicines to hospitals and health centres. He also hoped that education department will gear up its activities as only few months are left for the final examinations of children.
Asking Power Development Department (PDD) to ensure uninterrupted supply of electricity, Choudhary Hamid said that children are required to prepare for their examinations and at the same time hospitals and health centres need to maintain their machines for providing health care facilities to people. Regular supply of electricity in these winter months would help people cope up with the situation and manage their living well.
He criticised the Municipal Corporation and Town Area Committees for ignoring cities and towns. The entire Jammu city has been reduced to a Trash Can and it is high time government gear itself up to begin cleanliness drives in entire cities and towns. The menace of stray animals and especially dogs has also added to the woes of people that need to be taken care of, he added.
The PDP leader said that departments like agriculture, horticulture, Public Works Department, social welfare and housing and education have all collapsed and needs to be revived for the welfare of people and letting the system roll on. There is need of putting on track the entire system for which those sitting at the helm of affairs are required to put in little extra effort to come up to expectations of people till a government is formed.
