Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir National Conference In Charge constituency Hazratbal and YNC Provincial President Kashmir Salman Ali Sagar on Wednesday said due to the absence of the elected representative’s general public is facing major problems while the incumbent administration has forsaken the people of Srinagar.
He said this while addressing a delegate meeting of Block Hazratbal at party headquarters today. During the meeting, Bashir Ahmad Ganaie was unanimously elected as Block President (Block A, Hazratbal) and Mr. Dilawar Ahmad Reshi as Block President (Block B, Buchpora Hazratbal).
Speaking on the occasion Salman said the administration has completely failed in dispensing its basic duties. “People are feeling the heat of the ongoing power crisis Price rise and rising unemployment graph in Srinagar,” he said.
He added that the phased flood management plan on river Jhelum despite huge budgetary allocations and approvals is yet to pick up on the ground. “It seems that the government seems to have dumped the mega project,” he said adding, “The annual desiltation and dredging of the small rivulets, ponds, swamps, irrigation canals and lagoons in Srinagar and elsewhere is not on the to-do list of the government. The entire population of Srinagar and other low-lying areas across Kashmir are living on a knife-edge.”
