Dear Editor,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would liked to highlight following few lines for the kind consideration of LG, Manoj Sinha and other concerned, regarding untimely services of Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC). JMC does not provide funds for installation of transformer as and when it becomes unserviceable due to which public has to suffer without electricity and water. People run from pillar to post for installation of transformer and thereafter were informed that due to none payment of funds at proper time to contractors, they are not working properly. It is requested that funds be provided to PHE Mechanical department, like past practice, for proper functioning because right from the time funds are being allocated to JMC, people are suffering. It is requested to please do the needful for the for the sake of general public. As payments of previous work have not been made to contractors, they don’t work further. It is further requested that previous payments may also be released in favour of all contactors, which is about Rs 40 to 50 lakh. I, on behalf of all Sikh organizations of J&K, including Shiromani Akali Dal, Sikh United Front, Bhai Kanaiya Nishkam Sewa Soceity, All India Sikh Student Federation, Sikh Welfare Society, Youth Akali Dal, Istri Akali Dal, Sikh Naujawan Sabha urge LG to personally intervene into the matter in the larger interest of people.
