Jammu needs healing touch 1/4/2022 11:26:43 PM The Jammu and Kashmir administration has been boasting about signing 39 MOUs with different outside corporate houses and is claiming that the Union Territory is all set to witness the boom in business. However, the ground situation contradicts these claims and assertions as during the past 2-years J&K has witnessed a massive slump in the business. Jammu has been the worst hit as the arbitrary decisions taken by the bureaucrats have hit the people hard. The ones who are talking about new MOUs seem to be unaware about the ground situation. Even if they are aware they have turned a blind eye towards the sufferings of people, who have been at the receiving end during the past two years. This year Jammu is without a Darbar. This has led to the decline in footfall of the customers as not many people from Kashmir have arrived in Jammu. The big contracts have been awarded to outside firms. The mining business is being run by the non-locals. It appears that nothing has been left for the natives. Instead of giving them priority they are being sidelined. Recently, a leader of Awami National Conference, Muzaffar Shah cautioned the outside corporate houses that are acquiring land in J&K that the next government can cancel these allotments and they should be careful. Resentment is brewing in both Jammu and Kashmir regions. The Jammu people are demanding that they should not be ignored and the identity of the Dogras needs to be protected. But they are not being heard. The decisions that have been taken during the past two years have hit them hard. When Article 370 was revoked, nationalist people of Jammu had welcomed the decision with a hope that the discrimination that they have faced during the past 70-years would end, but their hopes have been dashed. Many people are saying that political dispensations were much better than the present regime. New Delhi needs to take cognizance of the grievances of the Jammu people and address their grievances. People are unhappy as they are facing losses due to various reasons. Jammu people have always stood with the country but they are being treated shabbily and it has hurt them. Their wounds need a healing touch and mere statements are not enough.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
