Delegation of Krishna Nagar meets MP Khatana to address critical safety concerns

Jammu, June 23: A delegation on Sunday met with Er Gulam Ali Khatana, Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha, at his official residence to discuss an urgent matter affecting the safety and well-being of the residents of Krishna Nagar, Jammu.
The delegation brought to his attention the deteriorating condition of an old sanitary drainage nallah, whose side walls are severely damaged and washed away. They said this critical infrastructure issue poses a significant threat to the lives and properties of the residents living nearby, particularly with the impending monsoon season.
The delegation members, including Advocate Pushvinder Singh, Dev Raj Verma, Surjeet Singh Chib, Tilak Raj Verma, Ajeet Kumar, Er Vinod Saini, Balbir Kumar, Jang Kumar Chadda, Bhisham Singh, Jatinder Kour, Sheetal Thakur, G S Thakur, Mahinder Kumar, Rakshit Kumar, Shiv Kumar, and several other notable residents of Krishna Nagar, said the compromised state of the nallah’s walls has created a perilous situation where residential houses situated around it are at risk of sinking. The upcoming monsoon season could exacerbate this danger, potentially leading to disastrous consequences for the community, they said.
Er Khatana gave a patient hearing to the concerns raised by the delegation and assured them of his full support in addressing this pressing issue. He expressed his deep concern for the safety of the residents and acknowledged the urgency of the matter.
The MP immediately forwarded the representation to the Commissioner of the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC), requesting swift and decisive action to mitigate the risks posed by the dilapidated nallah.
“I understand the gravity of the situation and the potential danger it poses to the residents of Krishna Nagar,” Er Khatana said. “Ensuring the safety and well-being of citizens is my utmost priority. I have forwarded the representation to the Commissioner, JMC, and will personally follow up to ensure that necessary repairs and reinforcements are carried out promptly.”
The delegation expressed their gratitude to Er Gulam Ali for his prompt attention and assurance of support. They expressed hope that with the intervention of the MP and proactive measures from the JMC, the issue will be resolved at the earliest, thereby safeguarding the lives and properties of the residents of Krishna Nagar.
