Save poor, destitute from hunger, starvation: Harsh Dev
5/30/2021 11:28:18 PM

Early Times Report

Majalta, May 30: “Having been rendered jobless for the last 2-3 months, the poor labourers are finding it hard to make both ends meet with their families too being forced to starvation. With all their savings having got exhausted during the lockdown period, the poor and the destitute are desperately waiting for relief and assistance from the govt for their survival.
And while the govt is claiming to have initiated measures for helping out the needy and the indigent marginalized desolate masses, the desired assistance did not appear to be reaching out to the affected population”. This was stated by Harsh Dev Singh chairman-JKNPP. He was interacting with the people of Deot, Bilaspur and Padey during his visit to the said villages wherein he distribution ration and relief to poor and deprived sections.
Harsh said that there is a huge mismatch between the tall claims of the govt and the actual delivery on the ground with several reports of hungry labourers and other workers of J&K emaciating not only within but outside the UT also having been stranded there due to lockdown.
Similarly other marginalized sections that were dependent upon daily earnings for their survival including auto rickshaw drivers, Rehri and Phari wallas needed to be appropriately compensated by the govt in the present distressing times of corona pandemic out of the funds raised by the govt for meeting corona related exigencies.
He said there were several reports of black marketing and over charging of ration and other items in the said areas which had failed to elicit the attention of the authorities concerned despite repeated complaints. He called for booking all the hoarders and black marketers of food grains, ration, other essential drugs and items of everyday use under MISA in view of artificial scarcity created by them leading to massive public outrage. He said that non-initiation of action against the offenders could lead to social uprising and aggravate the crisis in such affected areas.
Complimenting the Doctors, Nurses, Paramedical staff, Police, Safai-Karamcharis, media persons and all other frontline corona warriors, Mr. Harsh Dev said that the Nation is indebted to them for their herculean services being rendered by them for the cause of humanity.
