No alternative to elected govt: Apni Party

Vijaypur, Feb 29:  Apni Party Provincial President, and Former Minister, S Manjit Singh today said that there is no alternative to an elected government to resolve public issues.

According to a press release, he was addressing people during his tour of Vijaypur constituency.

Former Minister accompanied by prominent people of Vijaypur visited different wards, and villages of the constituency to hear from them about the difficulties faced by them.

During his visit, he held a series of meetings, and reached out to the people at their doorstep to hear about their problems regarding development, farmer’s issues, businessmen and other related issues in Vijaypur.

“The people have main concerns about the development and process of acquisition of land by the authorities without giving adequate compensation to the owners of the property that is required for the widening of the Jammu-Pathankot highway under the Expressway Project,” said Manjit Singh.

He said that Vijaypur is passing through a phase of transition due to the ongoing widening work of the highway that has snatched business, houses, and agricultural fields. “Had there been an elected Govt in J&K, the people would have been given adequate compensation for the land they handed over to the authorities for the highway widening,” he said, citing certain examples.
