JAMMU: JKPCC Working President Raman Bhalla on Sunday expressed serious concern over lack of provision to safeguard the interests of the local populace over land issues and job security, questioning BJP Govt whether the moves by BJP Govt have really benefitted people of J&K.
Barring verbal assurances, nothing has so far been done by the Centre on demands for job reservations for the locals, said former Minister while interacting with people of village Langar of Gandhi Nagar constituency as a part of his door to door campaign to mobilize public opinion against BJP’s wrong policies and programmes.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla asked, “where is the much promised Himachal Pradesh like land protection? Where is the reservation of jobs for the locals? Compare this to the job reservation being provided by some of the BJP ruled states such as Haryana, Uttarakhand etc. What is the fault of people of Jammu?”
People apprised Bhalla of various issues and problems they face like unemployment among youth, irregular power-supply which has made the life of people miserable, timely ration at ration depot and other issues.
Former Minister patiently heard the issues of people and assured them that their issues will be taken up with the concerned authorities at various levels for early redressal.
