JAMMU: Senior BJP leader and MLA Sham Lal Sharma expressed serious concern over the non-issuance of the CAPEX Budget for the year 2025-26, terming the delay a grave setback to crucial public welfare and developmental works in Jammu and Kashmir.
While addressing a Public Darbar organized at the BJP Headquarters in Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, Sham Lal Sharma came down heavily on the administration for its apparent apathy towards the mounting problems of the common people. He said the continued delay in releasing the budget is not just a technical lapse but an issue of public hardship. “The failure to initiate key developmental works due to the absence of CAPEX Budget has left vital infrastructure and services hanging in the balance. This inaction is causing undue harassment to the people who are already battling irregular water supply, power cuts, and dilapidated roads,” he said.
He further added that the current dispensation must realize its responsibility towards the public and expedite the execution of policies on the ground. “Delays in core infrastructure development and public utility services indicate a disconnect between the administration and ground realities. The BJP is committed to being the voice of the people and will raise these issues forcefully at every level,” he asserted.
Various deputations from areas like Muthi, Janipur, Ploura top, Trikuta Nagar, Sainik Colony, Roop Nagar, Poonch, Rajouri, Talab Tillo., Arjun Vihar, Lakkar Mandi, Domana, Udhampur, Jourian, and Reasi visited the party headquarters to share their concerns with the senior party leadership.
The deputations raised the issues like construction and repair of lanes and drains, sanitation issues, installation of new and repair of old street lights, shifting of CE IFC office (Irrigation Complex) to Jal Bhawan at Narwal, blacktopping and repair of roads, commissioning of newly drilled tubewell, new gratings, DPC in Education Department in Jammu district, SRO 43 case in Police department, irregular water supply and power cuts, installation of Mark-2 Hand Pumps.
Sham Lal Sharma assured that all raised issues will be taken up vigorously with the concerned departments and pursued until resolved. He reiterated BJP’s commitment to responsive governance and continued grassroots outreach.
Er. Dil Bahadur Jamwal, Incharge of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, coordinated the programme and noted that several concerns related to the Public Health Engineering (PHE) Department, especially those of water scarcity and poor maintenance, are recurring and must be addressed on a priority basis.
