EArly Times Report

RAJOURI, Nov 15: Apni Party Vice President and Former Minister Ch. Zulfikar Ali has expressed serious concern over the snail pace of developmental projects in Jammu and lack of interest on widening of Jammu Poonch highway for reasons best known to the officials.
He accused the bureaucrats for misleading the Lt Governor J&K Manoj Sinha with regard to the development of remote, and rural areas despite adequate funds being released by the Govt of India.
The Former Minister today visited several villages of Darhal constituency including Panjnada, Darsakri, Pedi, Padodi, Soker, Panihad, Sankari, and other places where he interacted with several people in these area.
During the tour, the people expressed their concern over the abodaned various developmental projects initiated by the previous Govt.
In a press note issued here in Rajouri, Ch. Zulfikar Ali stated that all the developmental projects initiated in the area during the previous regimes are eighter being stopped or the pace of the development/project is at snail pace and people are not getting the benifits of the projects intited for the development of the people, and upliftment of that area inspire of the fact that the Govt and the state administrative machinery is making the tall claims of huge funding and change the entire scenario of the state.
However, the ground reality is entirely different and the villages, backward area, and sub regions of the erstwhile states are still facing the worst type of disparity, he added and further stated that we are committed for the equitable development and prosparity of all the regions, sub region, and the areas of the states/UT. But the development is visible only in certain towns/certain pockets or certain areas of the state is not being treated equally.
He said that the people have lot of expectation from the Govt for Jammu - Poonch four laining of the project, but unfortunately from Akhnoor to Poonch, the project was not approved as agreed for the four laning and it was not considered that the volume of the tansport will be increased many fold in coming area besides, the Rajouri - Poonch is a defence line of the country, and huge defence establishment is located there.
He further said that the pretegious developmental projects like Anas irrigation projects which was supposed to irrigate about 55 hundred hectare of the area which was about to double the income of the farmers is abodened from last three and half years.
"Eco tourism park in Kandi was stopped since the fall of the previous Govt. The work on Budhal - Shopian road has not been initiated further from last three and half years. The office of the Additional Deputy Commissioner Kotranka has also not been constructed till date. The Khawas road, which was approved in CRF and further under languishing and lakhs of the people have been facing problem due to in complition of the road," he said.
He further said that "All other roads in the interior areas are in very deplorable and worst condition and are not traffic worthy. Inspite of the programmes like Jal Jeevan Mission, many villages are still let out without the portable drinking water."
Ch. Zulfikar Ali urged up on the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha to kindly intervene into the problems of these backward and border areas and redress these issues on priority. He further that the bureaucrats are misleading the Lt Governor for equitable and best development in all the regions, and sub regions of the erstwhile state. He stressed upon the LG to personally look into the developmental scenario of all these areas.
During the tour, several prominent leaders including Apni Party District President Rajouri, Syed Manzoor Hussain Shah Bukhari, Vice President Mohammed Iqbal, Sarpanches Choudhary Mir Hussain, Fazal Chauhan, Choudhary Shabir Ahmed, Choudhary Hassan Mohammed, Choudhary Alam Hussain, Khajur Singh, Gul Mohammed, Mohammed Amin, and others accompanied the Former Minister.
