Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 21: A delegation of all party former corporators of Jammu Municipal Corporation met the former minister and Working President JKPCC Raman Bhalla and Chief Spokesperson Mr. Ravinder Sharma and highlighted the bungling and pick & choose in the development works in Jammu city due to an alleged nexus of politicians and contractors, ignoring the ground realities and flood damaged infrastructure areas and flood affected people. The ex-corporators had held a strong protest demonstration too, on this issue and brought the matter to the notice of higher authorities of Municipal Corporation and the administration and demanded an enquiry and for following the necessary guidelines while framing plans of development.
The group of ex-corporators brought the gross irregularities and bunglings in the selection of development works on political considerations, ignoring the sufferings of residents in different localities who are facing great hardships due to damages caused during last year's floods and neglect of required developments. The delegation highlighted the sufferings of individuals who suffered huge, but have not received the meager relief being provided to them for huge damage to their properties.
They explained that the funds under SASCI scheme are being misused and allocated to the works at the behest of political - contractor nexus, whereas as per guidelines the funds are meant for the reconstruction of damaged infrastructure in the city. There is no voice of common people in the absence of elected corporators and funds are being spent on the instructions of MLAs only, who are ignoring certain most genuine and deserving areas, for political considerations.
