Peoples facing hardships in south Kashmir after snowfall: G A Mir

Anantnag, Feb 22:  All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary and former JKPCC President Ghulam Ahmad Mir today expressed serious concern over the “hardships confronting the public due to the recent snowfall at Kapran, Verinag, Dooru and elsewhere in South Kashmir”.

He said that few inches of snow have exposed the tall claims of administration. “Besides the failure to ensure appropriate supply of electricity, the lack of development is adding to the woes of people. One fails to understand as to how the administration deals with the local issues,” Mir said.

According to a press release, AICC General Secretary was addressing a Congress workers’ meeting at Veering area of South Kashmir. Mir was apprised about the organisational activities. Many other matters confronting J&K in absence of the democratic setup were also discussed. On this occasion Mir urged the workers to vigorously take the party’s programmes and policies to every household and seek their support to defeat the designs and wrong policies of the BJP.

Mir termed the inability and inaction with regard to snow clearance, rampant power outages and absence of other facilities as unfortunate and matter of serious concern. He laid emphasis over ensuring basic facilities to public, besides ensuring snow clearance in Kapran, Verinag, Dooru and interiors in other areas covered with the snow in South Kashmir.

The Congress leader said that BJP government’s diversionary tactics and suppression unleashed aiming to hide failures on all fronts shall not work. “Congress party with the public support will ensure that BJP’s political exploitation, misleading politics and polarisation policy for the lust of power will be defeated,” he said.
