JAMMU: Former National Conference MLC Vijay Bakaya on Saturday expressed anguish and dismay over callousness of the PDP-BJP dispensation towards migrants in various colonies and outside, saying their accumulated problems seem to be least concern for the administration.
Bakaya, who is also Political Advisor to National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah, while interacting with functionaries of the NC Migrant Cell, said that the administration had miserably failed in mitigating grievances of a segment of employees under
Prime Minister’s Package, who are made to run helter-skelter in pursuit of their demands.
He also referred to the lackadaisical approach of the concerned agencies in expediting the process for filling up the vacancies under the package, saying this has caused unease among the educated unemployed.
“Despite repeated pleas, the Relief Commissioner’s organization has not taken up the renovation of various colonies, as a result of which the camp dwellers are
suffering on daily basis”, Bakaya said and called for ensuring adequate power and drinking water keeping in view the ensuing summer months.
The meeting discussed the ensuing bypolls for Srinagar and Anantnag Lok Sabha constituencies and hoped that the enthusiasm among the voters will result in massive victory of Dr Farooq Abdullah from Srinagar and Ghulam Ahmed Mir in Anantnag. The meeting was informed that the M Forms have been made available and the process of filling up these has already begun.
Bakaya and other leaders, including State Vice President Rattan Lal Gupta, Chairman of the Cell Mr Bushan Lal Bhat and President M.K Yogi, sought a massive mandate for Dr Farooq Abdullah, saying his victory will herald a new era of hope and peace across the state.
Present among others in the meeting were Sheikh Bashir Ahmed Provincial Secretary, Jatin Bhat, M.K Raina, Dr. Sheikh Aimena, Pinky Bhat, Bal Ji, Amit Koul and Geeta.
