RAMBAN, Mar 29 : Despite the order of District Development Commissioner (DDC) Ramban banning laying of underground telephone cables along the National Highway from Banihal to Batote, the concerned department has continued with the work, due to which several people have lost their lives during past four months.
In the recent incident a Mahindra load carrier without registration number being rashly, negligently driven from Jammu to Srinagar hit three labourers engaged in laying of telephone cable on roadside, near CRPF camp Bhoom Chanderkote resulting in critical injuries to two persons and minor injuries to third.
The two critically injured persons were identified as Mohammad Bashir son of Abdullah Gujjar and Hashim Din son of Faqira both resident of Gujjrara, Paristan of tehsil Ukhral district Ramban who were ref erred to Shri Maharaja Hari Singh (SMHS) Hospital Srinagar after giving first aid at District Hospital (DH) Ramban while third injured person identified as Mohammad Qasim son of Ahamadin resident of Gujjrara, Paristan of tehsil Ukhral district Ramban, was shifted to DH Ramban for treatment.
Mohammad Bashir however succumbed to his injuries on the way to Srinagar.
After hitting the labourers the driver along with his vehicle fled from spot but was chased with the help of locals and arrested. The driver was identified as Rajinder Pradhan son of Inder Pradhan resident of Sagraguan district Khurda Orissaa at present sector 3 Channi Himmat Jammu. A case under FIR No. 18/2016 u/s 279/ 337 at police station Chanderkote stands registered.
This however is not the single case; many labourers have become permanently handicapped while many other lost their lives due to the accidents.
While talking to Early Times, DDC Ramban, Bashir Ahmed Dar said "I have asked the concerned tehsildar to take action against the contractors who are engaged in digging work for laying of telephone cables, but later I came to know that National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has granted the permission for the said work.
He further said that the administration can only take action against them if they violate the norms of contract. |
