Poonch, Feb 27: People blocked Jammu-Poonch highway and the Traffic remained suspended for 3 ½ hrs today followed by the protests against the district administration for ignoring to provide the basic amenities to the populace of the area these sources said here.
People of Tehsil Mendhar including women and children staged a protest demonstration against departments of PHE, PWD and PDD for their failure to provide basic facilities and demanded immediate construction of dilapidated roads commencing of water works schemes which were dysfunctional since long the sources said, adding that Power Department too has failed to ensure uninterrupted power supply to various areas of the district.
They said Jaranwala Gali to Naka Majitha in Mendhar and Pharma Naar to Rehmat Marh road has been left unconcerned as the works on this road was started 11 years ago having a length of 5 Kms. But construction of roads was stopped half way for obvious reason where as there were several water supply schemes dysfunctions in the area which they demanded should be made functional for the benefit of the locals sources said, adding they in one voice urged Executive Engineers of all the three departments to take necessary measures and restore the supplies of water and power to the area and simultaneously construct the roads which were in bad shape.
They said some time earlier digging out of bore wells were also sanctioned but authorities at the helm of affairs have failed to implement the same.
Sub Divisional Police Officer Mendhar Shahid Naeem reached on the spot along with his team and pacified the agitating protesters and assured them that he will personally take up your genuine demands with SP and DDC. On his assurance the people lifted the dharna and the traffic on the highway was restored after 3 ½ hours.
Meanwhile MLA Mendhar Javed Rana also reached the spot and assured the people that their demands will be put before the relevant fora.
Youth leader of Mendhar Zaffar Chowdhary urged the district administration and Governor of the state that the demands of the people of his area be materialized at the earliest, sources said.
