He said last year in September rains the farmers suffered a heavy loss due to rains and floods and several kanals of land in 15 km belt has been washed away by the river Chenab in September last year. But no one from Government came to our rescue and assess the damage, he added.

During the heavy rains flood ghost always haunts us but there is no one in Government to look into the problem, says Kuldeep Manhas another resident of Pargwal. He said the political parties often come for votes to them and promise sky but after elections are over they forget every thing.
Pargwal area sans basic development and people are facing many hardships due to lack of facilities for higher education and health care as there is no hospital in the area.
The people have made an appeal to State government to look into the problem of the people by providing the compensation to them for the losses and damages suffered by them during last year floods and this year rains.
Pinning high hopes in present coalition the people have sought immediate help from the State Government. The people said Pargwal area has always been neglected by successive governments despite the fact it faces threat from firing across the border and river Chenab.
During the firing from across the border people have to take shelter in safer areas and many times we had to migrate from the area, said Manhas. The problem being grave from every side the government should look into it and find out an everlasting solution to the problem, he added. |
