JAMMU: All Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Conference (AJKPC), a registered organisation working for grassroots democracy in Jammu and Kashmir, has raised several development-related demands concerning the Nagrota Assembly Constituency.  

AJKPC President Anil Sharma, along with local representatives and residents of Nagrota today addressed a press conference in Jammu and appealed to the J&K Government to take immediate steps to resolve long-pending public issues.

While speaking to the media, the AJKPC leadership said that people of Nagrota continue to suffer due to lack of basic facilities. Among the key demands are the establishment of SDM offices at Dansal and Nagrota and granting tehsil status to Jindrah Niabat.

AJKPC President demanded the upgradation of the New Primary Health Centre at Jindrah into a 24×7 CHC hospital and Sub-District Hospital status for the Dansal Primary Health Centre.  He also sought the setting up of accident hospitals and new PHCs at Krishanpur (Manwal), Surinsar, Sagoon and Athem.

The organisation also demanded construction of a new and safe building for Government Degree College Jindrah. An ACB inquiry was sought to identify those responsible for the unsafe college building and the alleged misuse of public funds.

Raising employment concerns, Sharma demanded job preference for local youth in the 15 FAD (Field Ammunition Depot), Jindrah. He stated that many locals had given their land for the depot and were promised employment opportunities.

Other demands include beautification of Surinsar Lake, construction of the Jhajjar Koli artificial lake project, and immediate posting of teachers, lecturers, librarians and other staff in government schools and colleges of Nagrota.

For the convenience of pensioners and government employees, AJKPC demanded establishment of a tehsil treasury at Block Dansal, as the remote location causes hardship in official work and pension-related matters.

The AJKPC leadership said that if the government fails to act on these genuine demands, the organisation will be forced to hold an agitation to seek justice for the people of Nagrota. They have given 2 weeks ultimatum to the J & K government to address all the issues. Other prominent people were Rakesh Sharma , Chandra Mohan , Sham Lal Mund , Master Bhagat Ram , Sahil Sharma , Som Raj Sharma , Mani Ram , Chandermoli Sharma , Deepak Kumar , Rameshwar Sharma , Junaid Panch , Sanjay Jamwal , Hridyesh Singh Jamwal and many more.
