Jammu, Feb 17: Former MLC Ravinder Sharma has blamed the State government of adopting totally arbitrary attitude and pure favoritism on political considerations in the creation of the posts of ADCs in different areas, ignoring areas which were more deserving on all parameters and merit, which has resulted into unrest amongst people.
In a statement Sharma lashed out at the PDP-BJP government for adopting an arbitrary approach in total disregard to merit or criteria and without adopting any fair or transparent procedure or mechanism for the creation of these administrative units, which has caused large scale resentment and unrest in different parts like Nowshera and Sunderbani, while ADC has been setup at Koteranka, besides in Billawar and Basohli etc, which are represented by Ministers in the government. Sharma questioned that how can a democratic government do it in such an arbitrary manner purely on political considerations least caring for the genuine demands and needs of the people, without considering any reasonable parameters or adopting any fair, transparent criteria for the same. The previous governments, in order to extend such administrative facilities, have always adopted some mechanism like setting up of Billoria Committee, Ganai Committee and thereafter the proposals were considered and examined by the cabinet sub-committee but now only pick and choose for political interest of ruling parties has been the sole criteria, for peace meal announcements, which is questionable. |
