National Conference today decried lack of basic facilities in various areas of the summer capital.
Party general secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar toured various city areas including Kulipura, Rainawari, Khanyar, Daulatabad. NC spokesperson in a statement said on the occassion, Sagar was apprised by the local residents about the “slack attitude of the incumbent administration in mitigating the problems arising due to incessant snowfall.”
Sagar also took stock of the pace of work going on a three storey community hall at Kulipura. The project is coming up at the cost of Rs nine crore and will house state-of-the-art gym and health facilities. “This has been a long pending demand of people. The center boasts a laboratory and a health facility. This is going to be the first of its kind facility in Srinagar,” he said.
Sagar made stopovers at various places in Downtown interiors. “I was apprised by the people that recent snowfall and incessant rains have rendered the sewage network defunct. People are aggravated on the laid back attitude of the incumbent administration in ensuring them electricity supply and other basic amenities,” he said.
“The authorities are least bothered about the mounting woes of the people of the old city of Srinagar; there is no accountability on ground,” he said.
Sagar asserted “what good was achieved in terms of infrastructure augmentation in Srinagar received a dead halt after BJP-PDP took over the reins of power. “The incumbent administration proved no different. We had pinned high hopes on governor administration. However we stand dejected with the way governor administration has shut its eyes and ears to the mounting woes of people in the old city of Srinagar,” he said.
