JAMMU: Senior BJP leader and MLA, Sham Lal Sharma, strongly emphasized the pressing need to revive the damaged public infrastructure in flood-hit areas, urging the NC government and concerned departments to take swift action in restoring water and electricity supply. Sharma was addressing public delegations during a Public Grievances Camp organized at the BJP headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.
He remarked that the administration’s unpreparedness and the lethargic working of relevant departments had deepened the woes of common citizens. Highlighting the disarray in essential services, Sharma said that both water and electricity facilities collapsed in the wake of the crisis. “The government completely failed to put in place any contingency plan to respond to people’s urgent needs, leaving Jammu residents to struggle without basic amenities,” he asserted.
A large number of deputations from Udeywala, Ghagwal Samba, Nudd Samba, Udhampur Gadhi, Karan Nagar Extension, Goutam Nagar, Rajouri, Gandhi Nagar, Nowshera, Akhnoor, Billawar, Lower Roop Nagar, Sarwal, Raipur Bantalab, Bari Brahmana, Bishnah, and other areas attended the camp to put forward their grievances.
Demands and issues raised by the public included construction of lanes and drains, shortage of drinking water, repair of tubewells and hand pumps, issuance of land Fards, clearance of drains, installation of dustbins near Har Ki Poudi, police-related matters, provision and repair of street lights, frequent power cuts, damaged drain gratings, dilapidated roads, school building repairs, and concerns about Anganwadi Centres.
In his address, Sharma said that while BJP representatives have been continuously working on the ground since the calamity to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the people, the NC government has adopted a casual and indifferent stance. He criticized the impractical approach of departments tasked with maintaining public services, holding them responsible for aggravating the suffering of the people.
The camp was coordinated by Er. Dil Bahadur Jamwal, Party Incharge for Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, who underlined the need to immediately address the water scarcity issue, by taking the pro-active measures on priority.
