| Petition demanding cleanliness gathers dust in CM's Grievance Cell | | Swachh Bharat Abhiyan a farce in J&K? | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 13: A petition seeking cleanliness of the Jammu Haat, commonly called as Exhibition Ground near Jewel Chowk, is gathering dust at the Chief Minister's office for last two months.
The petition seeking intervention of the Chief Minister towards the plight of the Jammu Haat, which falls under the administrative control of Directorate of Industries and Commerce Department, was submitted to the Chief Minister's Grievance Cell on September 15 vide no. 56610.
The petitioner, RTI activist Raman Sharma, who is also founder of 'Save My Tawi Campaign' has urged the Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed to intervene in this important issue. Sharma in his petition had submitted: "It is really apathetic that at one side Prime Minister of the Country and Chief Minister of the state are asking for totally cleanliness for good health but this department (Industry and Commerce) is totally negligent to this important issue." Sharma has also offered to take the responsibility of cleaning this important site if the concerned department does not have the requisite funds to do so. "If the department does not have the funds to maintain this and clean the site, I as a responsible citizen willing to contribute for its cleanliness.
I shall be offering my free services at least once in a month to clean it and if allowed I will also seek the cooperation of the other responsible citizens to offer their services and funds for the cleanliness of this important site." Sharma complained that millions of rupees had been spent by the government on building infrastructure there but the infrastructure is left without any care.
There are several fountains installed in the exhibition ground but all of them in poor state. The water pool of these fountains is filled with dirt and garbage. The costly fountains are broken and they are not working.
Till date no intimation has been given to the complainant about this important issue and the status shown there on the website http://jkgrievance.nic.in/remains 'under process '.
It is pertinent to mention here that hundreds of shops are housed in this complex of Jammu Haat besides a few government offices, but most of the shops remain closed throughout the year.
Earlier also a similar petition seeking cleanliness of the Exhibition ground was made through the JK Grievance Cell of the Chief Minister (vide no. 55517) in July this year. It was then forwarded to the Jammu Municipal Corporation which after a delay of over 50 days informed that the concerned area does not belong to it and the case may be taken up with the Directorate of Industries and Commerce. |
