JAMMU: A delegation from the Sikh community called on BJP Jammu & Kashmir President and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma (CA) at the party headquarters in Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, and apprised him of several long-pending public issues affecting hundreds of families and local industries.
The delegation urged immediate intervention to resolve these matters, stating that prolonged administrative delays have caused financial hardship and uncertainty among the affected people. J&K BJP General Secretaries Sanjita Dogra, Baldev Singh Billawaria, and Gopal Mahajan were also present during the meeting.
The delegation highlighted the issue of the pending compensation since 2021 to the land allottees of Khour Camp, whose lands have been occupied by various government agencies for defence, infrastructure, and other development projects. They said that despite sacrificing their land in the larger national interest, many affected families are still awaiting their rightful compensation, causing severe financial distress. They appealed for immediate release of the pending amount so that justice is delivered without further delay.
The delegation also raised serious concerns regarding the industrial units in Samba Industrial Estate, many of which are facing operational difficulties due to departmental issues. They informed Sat Sharma that the continued non-functioning of these industries has adversely affected local employment, leaving numerous workers and their families without a stable source of livelihood. They emphasized that these industries have played a significant role in generating employment for the youth of the region and deserve timely administrative support instead of unnecessary hurdles.
Sat Sharma patiently heard the delegation and assured them that the BJP remains committed to standing with every section of society and raising genuine public issues before the appropriate authorities. He said that while development projects are essential for national progress, the rights of citizens and timely rehabilitation or compensation cannot be ignored. He stressed that industrial growth and employment generation are equally important for the economic well-being of Jammu & Kashmir and that genuine concerns of entrepreneurs and affected families must receive prompt attention.
In his assurance to the delegation, Sat Sharma stated that the BJP will take up both issues with the concerned authorities and make every possible effort to ensure that the affected families and industrial units receive a fair and timely resolution.
