| DSS, AJCSF meet Speaker, press to remove secretariat barricade | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 22: A joint delegation of the Dogra Sadar Sabha (DSS) and the All Jammu Civil Society Forum (AJCSF) called upon the J&K State assembly Speaker Kavinder Gupta led by president Gulchain Singh Charak to project a great hardship being faced by the local population, tourists, traders and daily commuters of Jammu region due to the unnecessary road block created by barriers in front of the winter secretariat during winter months.
Besides the delegation the meeting was attended by the concerned security and police officers of the government.
The delegation projected that a very important and vital road from Shalimar-to-Dogra hall is closed by the authorities which virtually divides the important segments of Jammu city, and causes great hardships to the general public, tourists and daily commuters.
Besides making it difficult and expensive to reach Ranvireshwar temple it causes uncalled for and unnecessary hardships to the population of the area around the secretariat and literally dissects the Holy city of temples.
The Road in front of the secretariat is the main artery road running through heart of town and needs widening from Indira Chowk to the Raj Bhawan. Once closed for six long months, all its traffic gets diverted to the crowded Parade-ground area resulting in persistent traffic jams, accidents and adding to pollution.
This virtually divides the city vertically in two halves. It causes great inconvenience to walking commuters, tourists, women, school children, the old senior citizens, hawkers, cart pullers etc; as also creating unnecessary avoidable traffic chaos and congestion.
The delegation comprised of Gulchain Singh Charak, Abdul Majid- President Muslim Federation Jammu, G. A Khawaja -D.C (Retd.), Amanat Ali Shah- President Anjuman-e- Imamia, Jammu, S. Peter- President Christian Dalit Society Jammu, Col. Virender Kumar Sahi -Vr. Chakra- Journalist, Mohd. Aslam Qureshi- DC ( Retd.), Brig. M. S. Jamwal (Retd.), Sh. Surinder Mahajan- Ex.
