Manjit Singh, while speaking on the occasion, said that Chenab Valley has rich resources especially water yet Doda, Kishtwar and Ramban get no attention with regard to employment opportunities in the ongoing railways, hydro and highway projects.
"The companies engaged in these projects have agreement with the Govts that they will ensure jobs for locals in majority but the locals are being ignored and non-locals are given job opportunities," said Manjit Singh.
He said that "The unemployment in Chenab Valley is on rise even as they have enough projects to give employment to locals. However, the authorities are not asking the companies to comply with the agreement they have made with the Govt."
