Srinagar: Main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Patron Mufti Mohammed Sayed alleged that while entire Jammu and Kashmir was reeling under mis-governance, administrative anarchy, development freeze and corruption, certain areas like Anantnag had been pushed to a worse fate.
Interacting with members of ci
vil society and party cadres in Anantnag, he said the historic town had been neglected completely on development front as if it is part of political punishment.
He cautioned that given the continued apathy of the government, people of the area would be left with no choice but to take to the streets seeking redressal of their problems.
He advised the party cadres to mobilise the public opinion so as to press the government for giving the area its due share in development process.
The former Chief Minister said all the major projects started in the district by the previous government had almost been shelved.
He said the district headquarters and the villages around were facing tremendous problems and there was no response from the government that could even marginally meet the challenge.
He said roads in the area were in most dilapidated condition and the electric supply was marginal in most areas.
The sanitation problems had multiplied manifold over the years and no new initiatives has been taken by the present government on urban development front.
