DSS demands lifting of barriers creating road block 10/14/2016 9:16:49 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Oct 14: A meeting of Dogra Sadar Sabha, J&K jointly with the prominent members of the "Mohalla Sudhar Committee Dogra Hall Jammu" was held at DSS Bhawan under the chairmanship Th. Gulchain Singh Charak Former Minister & President DSS. All the members present in the meeting strongly objected to the road block between Dogra Hall Jammu and Ranvireshwar Shiv temple that is established each time the State Secretariat moves into the summer capital. The road block causes uncalled for and unnecessary hardship to the local population of the area around the secretariat and literally divides the Holy town of temples into two halves. The Road in front of the secretariat is the main artery road running through heart of town. Once closed for six long months, all its traffic gets diverted to the narrow Parade area resulting in persistent traffic jams, accidents and adding to pollution. It blocks the route to famous and historical Ranvireshwar Shiv temple thus hurting the religious sentiments of the people of this historical city. It also blocks easy access to the historical monument of Raja Jambulochan which is symbolic to the basis of establishing the city of Jammu. The route to historical Raghunath Bazar and the famous Raghunath temple is also cut off, besides, the road leading to the SMGS Hospital, thus adversely affecting pilgrimage, tourism, trade and Health care. Even the Dead bodies from this area are forced to be carried to Jogi Gate walking over a detour of three km by the bereaved families, moaning ladies elders and children.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
