Ashok Sharma, a social worker hailing from Haria chack said they approached to DDC Kathua office for development work in their village under BAPD scheme but they got surprised to see that their village does not fall under such scheme. He said village Hari chack falls under jurisdiction of LoC and norms prescribed by Home department for the development works but ironically blue eyed persons did not recommend the names of few villages from where they got failure in previous election. Ashok said thediscrimina tion will not tolerated any more and DDC should conduct fair survey and review the actual distance of village from LoC. He alleged district administration to mention the distance 8 km instead of 4 km from LoC to abandon the name of few villages for development work.
