Sagar exhorts party workers to intensify public contact

Srinagar, Sep 05: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference General Secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar on Tuesday expressed dismay over the “sorry state of affairs” in Srinagar, saying that the city has been rescinded from the development agenda of the incumbent government.
He said this while addressing the constituency in-charges of Srinagar district including Mubarak Gul, Tanvir Sadiq, Irfan Shah, Peer Afaq and block presidents at the party headquarters Nawa-e-Subha, Srinagar. On the occasion, the present situation and organisational issues were discussed threadbare, the party said in a statement issued here.
Addressing the functionaries, Sagar said, “Over the past six years, Shahr-e-Khaas bore the brunt of successive lockdowns and curbs. Shopkeepers, artisans and marginal traders were not able to do business and the youth of Shahr-e-Khas are unemployed. The anti-people policies of the incumbent administration have left no scope for the early revival of the businesses in Srinagar. Let alone spending on clothing, medicine and education, people are not able to get two square meals for their families.”
He said the “failure” of the government to carry out routine de-siltation of drains is one of the reasons for low-lying areas getting routinely inundated. He impressed upon the workers to intensify their public contact and highlight their plight.
