Jammu, 17-Dec: Apni Party Youth Wing State General Secretary Abhay Bakaya has strongly condemned the casual approach of Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) for its inability to provide basic amenities in the district which is being developed as Smart City.Addressing the public meeting in Jammu West, Abhay said “It seems that JMC officials have completed the Smart City Project with the development of a vertical garden near Dogra Chowk and installation of sign boards across the city. In fact, there is no development, no mechanism to redress issues of basic amenities in Jammu Municipal Limits.” “As far as the development of Wards is concerned, there are no efforts from the JMC and routine issues like clean lanes, drains, drinking water supply or electricity supply are still a major concern being confronted by the residents in different Wards of Jammu Municipal Corporation,” he said.The State General Secretary of Youth Wing was addressing a public meeting at ward number 41. The meeting was organized by Vivek Saproo, Apni Party Organizing Secretary KP Wing. In this meeting various developmental issues were discussed and problems of youth dominated the discussion.“The youth are mainly confronting the issue of ever increasing unemployment,” he added when the youth present in the meeting complained that the Govt has not advertised the vacant posts in different departments.Meanwhile, Provincial President, Youth Wing, Vipul Bali expressed his concern and pointed out that the administration has failed to establish connections with the people. It is because of this gap between bureaucracy and the people, there is a feeling of alienation among the people which needs to be addressed.“The alienation issue can be addressed only with the holding of assembly elections in J&K. Elected Govt is answerable to the people and it holds the bureaucracy accountable. Therefore, the statehood should be restored before holding assembly elections in J&K,” he added.District Vice President Jammu Urban Vaibhav Mattoo referred to various issues. He said that the LG administration has failed on ground to deliver and it has led to disappointment among the people.He also highlighted various issues of development.Prominent among them Provincial Secretary Vishal Jyotishi, Provincial Secretary Youth Wing Suhail Khajuria, Sandeep Vaid, Ankush Dogra, Sachin Zutsi, Nitin Zusti, Ravi Koul, Rohit Sapru, Rahul Sapru, Sunil Tickoo, Dass Ram, Sukeh Dev, Sagar Jee, Harshu Handoo, Kanju Bhagat and others.(CNS
