Appealing the State Government to “wake up” to suffering of people of border area of Machil, PUF leaders Shah Faesal and Er Rasheed have promised a special attention to far flung areas if voted to power.
Concluding their two-day extension tour to Machil the PUFleaders addressed many gatherings and took stock of sufferings of people.
A PUF spokesman said the two leaders received a warm welcomeat different places including Machil, Doodi, Ringbala, Ring-Payeen, Duppel,Chakki, Chonthwari, Poshwari, Miserybahak and other places.
Summing up the findings of the visit, the spokesman said “Itis strange that while state and central Governments have been making tallclaims about providing packages to remote and border areas but nothing seems tohave changed on the ground and people of Machil have been forced to live lifeof stone age ear. The road from Kalaroos to Machil is in shambles. There is nomobile connectivity. The condition of Schools is worst and the students fromremote areas like Ring Bala have to travel even more than 20 kilometers onfoot.”
“Like Karnah one has to get prior permission before visitingMachil valley as if Machil is not part of J&K. In absence of agricultureand horticulture land, there are least resources of earning livelihood. How canbe anything more shameful than the fact that except providing power to twovillages for just three hour a day, entire valley is awaiting to get regularsupply of power for past 70 years,” the PUF spokesperson said.
