EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, June 16: Women wing of Jammu and Kashmir United Front today staged a protest against the administration of district Samba alleging that it has failed to come up to the expectations of the common man. Led by senior women wing leader of Gujjar community, Noor Jahan Choudhary, scores of protestors assembled outside the office of Divisional Commissioner Jammu and raised slogans against the Deputy Commissioner Samba.
"The district administration has adopted an indifferent attitude towards the people belonging to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities. It has miserable failed to resolve the problems of poor and deprived people of a district Samba," she alleged.
Woman Gujjar leader said, "The state government had promised that it would free ration to drought hit people. People of Samba district have not been given the benefit of government's scheme."
"We have been shuttled from one office to another and ultimately they came to know that Public Distribution Scheme Officers (Food and Supply Department) have already been provided with the promised ration but the same has not reached the deserving ones," alleged Begum Noor Jahan. She also alleged that the basic necessities of life like water, power, link roads and other allied amenities have also been denied to the deprived sections of the society. "A thorough probe into the bungling of ration should be ordered," she demanded.
Later, the protesters submitted a memorandum to the Divisional Commissioner Jammu and sought immediate action against erring officials. Speaking on the occasion, JKGUF president Anwar Chowdhary alleged that Schedule Tribe and Schedule Caste people are being discriminated by the administration in every sphere of life. |
