Srinagar, Jan 16: Member of Parliament for Anantnag constituency, Hasnain Masoodi on Monday called on Lieutenant Governor of Jammu at Jammu and raised various issues that required the attention of LG and called for his intervention.
According to a statement issued by the Parliament member, Masoodi emphasising Constitutional obligations of a welfare State, demanded revocation of Circular dated 09.01. 2023 whereby revenue officials have been asked to remove all encroachments on State, Roshni and Kahcharai land as the Constitutional and possessory rights of the affected were likely to be infringed by the proposed action.
He pointed out that the construction on State land was not a phenomenon restricted to Jammu and Kashmir and such encroachment in national and commercial areas were regularised.
Masoodi while reiterating his long pending demand for regularisation of all daily rated, casual, need based, development fund workers, CIC operators and other workers demanded application of all minimum wages Order to such employees/workers irrespective of nomenclature used at the time of their engagement.
He, while acknowledging the increasing public confidence in Government Hospitals at all levels and commitment of the doctors and paramedical staff, asked for adequate steps to bridge the gap in manpower.
The Member of Lok Sabha pointed out that anywhere between 1500-2000 patients visited the outdoor department of district hospitals making it difficult for the doctors to handle the patient. He requested for immediate measures to set up Maternity Hospital at Anantnag and sanction of medical and paramedical staff for SDH Shangus and Tral. Masoodi also demanded upgradation of PHC Khrew as CHC.
According to the statement, the MP emphasised the importance of Pastun ( Sahibabad) – Wahab Saheb and Lehndajan – Batnoor road segments for boost in tourism as the two road segments would shorten distance between Srinagar and Pahalgam and open up upper areas of Tral that have so far lagged behind in pace of development and requested for commencement of work on two road segments.
He also demanded construction of Choidraman – Bradtal , Dardardapora tunnel to connect Wadwan- Marwah subdivision with Anantnag.
