Balakote residents riled over poor communication, road connectivity 8/9/2016 10:52:19 PM M S Nazki Early Times Report Mendhar, Aug 9: Village Balakote near LoC , a remote place in Mendhar having a population of about 15 thousand souls is lacking both road and communication connectivity in this digital era of the world. Tall claims are being made by the successive central and state governments for upliftment of the far flung, backward and hilly areas of the country/state. There are various centrally sponsored schemes for the development of these areas but on ground there is no development in the areas for which they are meant. The hapless, poor and backward people of Balakote villages also meet the same fate in the developmental activities. Considering the population area and backwardness of the area, Balakote has been given the status of Tehsil recently while creating new Administrative units in the State. Perhaps, this is the only administrative unit where authorities themselves feel handicapped in performing their duties for want of these two important connectives. For want of mobile/internet facility student community does not get the benefit of internet, Google and other information sources in pursuing their studies, preparing themselves for exams, entrance tests or interviews and undergoing higher studies when they have to compete with the aspirants of cities where all such facilities are available. They are thus discriminated and deprived of these basic amenities of life. Moreover, the general public is also suffering for want of this facility. They feel handicapped in contacting their family members living outside for earning their livelihood or vice versa. The persons are the helm of affairs are least worried about the misery the people are facing. The District administration and the BSNL authorities are requested to take steps to redress grievances of the people of Balakote village.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
