Govt sleeping

State Government is not taking any keen interest in executing the developmental works in Jammu region where the condition of roads is worst as their renovation and repair work was not taken up in hand during last two years now. The main reason for this being that the developmental works have suffered in Kashmir valley due to unrest and the Government wants to keep the works pending in Jammu too. Peaceful Jammu region and the people here are also made to suffer and bear the brunt of the unrest in Kashmir. This is the reason that the condition of roads in Jammu is worst and many of them are not fit for movement of traffic also. Even the condition of some neglected roads is so bad that they have been turned into cesspools of water also. Recently the blacktopping of the roads was undertaken in some parts of Jammu city on the insistence of a local MLA but the same was abandoned later on the instructions of the concerned Minister. The issue was also taken up by a senior BJP leader with the Party national president Amit Shah during his recent visit to Jammu. The BJP leader said that delaying the developmental process in Jammu is slated to damage the Party’s image in the region which has secured overwhelming public mandate during last Parliamentary and Assembly elections.
The failure of the Government to renovate and repair the roads in Jammu city and its outskirts during last two years has generated a lot of public resentment with people taking to streets holding protest demonstrations and road blockades to register their protest. The Coalition Government which is making tall claims about development has failed during the last two years of its rule to restore the vital roads in the City and it’s outskirts, sources added.
The delaying tactics of the concerned Ministry in taking up in hand the repairs and renovation of the Jammu roads has resulted into the brewing resentment among public against the dismal performance of public representatives also whom they blame that they have made false promises about development and hoodwinked the common masses in this regard as no concrete steps were taken for renovation of damaged roads during last two years of the coalition rule.
