SAMBA, Jun 7: Apni Party Provincial President Jammu, and Former Minister, S. Manjit Singh has condemned the lackadaisical attitude of the administration in providing basic facilities to the people in Kandi villages of district Samba.
The Former Minister was addressing a meeting at village Nagrota falling in Block Parmandal in Samba District where people informed him about the difficulties faced by them due to improper drinking water and unscheduled electricity cuts.
The meeting was also attended by Apni Party District President, Samba, Raman Thappa, District Youth President Samba, Mangat Ram, and others.
In his address, Manjit Singh said that the civil administration gets funds in crores from the Central Govt to supply drinking water in every house across Jammu and Kashmir.
"I am amazed at the inability of the authorities to ensure clean drinking tap water to the people. The people in many Kandi areas suffer because of no water supply. Even if the taps are laid, the supply of drinking water is improper and irregular," he said.
He further stated that the huge population in Kandi belt suffers because of poor planning and implementation of water supply schemes in many areas including Parmandal block.
"The unscheduled power cuts during the soaring temperature has also affected normal life as well as affected the supply of drinking water," he said.
He demanded that the water supply schemes should be implemented on the ground to benefit the Kandi area as well. "The pick and choose policy should not be adopted by the authorities," he added.
He also referred to developmental issues and poor road connectivity.
