Senior National Conference leader Salman Sagar has decried lack of basic facilities at Hazratbal area here.
Salmam visited various areas of Hazratbal including Alim Bhat Mohalla, Malik Mohalla, Bangi Mohalla wherein people appraised him about hardships faced by them.
“Government has left Hazaratbal in lurch amid the harsh winter period. The areas have been plunged into darkness and the power supplies continue to remain erratic. Government seems to have forgotten the people of these areas,” he said.
“There are no traces of development in these areas and people are complaining that they haven’t seen any official or their representative visiting them for years together. Such pathetic mode of functioning has only unmasked the farce promises made to the people during the previous years,” Salman said.
The NC leader also urged the concerned authorities to ensure that no paucity of water and essential supplies is witnessed and genuine concern of the local inhabitants are addressed on priority.
