JAMMU, Nov 9: National Conference Additional General Secretary and former Minister Mr Ajay Kumar Sadhotra visited the fire-ravaged warehouse site at Nehru Market Jammu and expressed deep grief and heartfelt condolences over the devastative fire incident which has reportedly cost hundred of crores of rupees.
Interacting with the President Mr. Deepak Gupta of Traders Federation Warehouse-Nehru Market Jammu and his team, Mr Sadhotra expressed serious concern over the magnitude of the tragedy and said that the incident has not only resulted in enormous financial losses but has also severely affected the business community and the livelihood of many families. Mr Ramesh Gupta, President Mahajan Sabha was also present.
He demanded an immediate high level and time bound enquiry to ascertain the exact cause of the fire and fix responsibility wherever negligence is established. He also expressed serious concern over the alleged delay in the arrival of fire services vehicle as told by Traders Federation Warehouse-Nehru Market Jammu. He questioned how such a massive fire would cause such extensive destruction despite the Fire and Emergency Services department reportedly being on alert during Diwali. The enquiry must specifically examine the reasons for delay in reaching the spot and whether timely intervention could have prevented or minimize the loss. Mr Sadhotra assured Traders Federation Warehouse-Nehru Market Jammu that he will take up the matter with Chief Minister. Ministers have also visited the site. Moreover, warehouse is life line of supplies for not only Jammu but Jammu and Kashmir also. National Conference leader told the traders that he has spoken to Chief of the Fire and Emergency Services in this regard and he was informed by the Chief that 27 Fire Tenders were put to service for warehouse.
Other who accompanied Mr Sadhotra are S/Sh Mohd Ayoub Malik Provincial Secretary, Rajesh Bakshi, Veer Ji Bhat, Ashwani Charak, Parwinder Singh, Shabir, Asanand. |
