Anantnag town neglected on developmental front: Tarigami

Srinagar June 22: CPI (M) leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami today said that Anantnag town is being negled on development front.

Referring to administrative inertia vis-à-vis developmental schemes in South Kashmir particularly in Anantnag town, he said there are hardly any visible changes on ground with regard to development and infrastructure building. “The tall promises that have been made often by the administration are yet to be fulfilled,” Tarigami said.

According to a press release, he was interacting with a public delegation from Anantnag town. Tarigami observed that the government apathy has crossed the limits as the area lacks infrastructure and other facilities despite being vast in size and population.

“The delegation expressed serious concern over the deteriorated healthcare facilities of MMABM District Hospital, which is now a part of GMC Anantnag and said that despite the fact that doctors are available in the said healthcare centre, the hospital lacks the advanced equipment vis-a-vis Cardiology, Neurology and Gastroenterology, besides Cancer centre,” the press release said.

The delegation expressed resentment on the economic front in the district saying agriculture sector is being ignored.
