Old man

found deadExcelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, July 12: The body

of an old man was found today

from a mini-canal in Sarrora

area falling under the limits of

police station Domana.

According to a police

spokesperson, an old man iden-

tified as Des Raj (78) son of late

Lal Chand, a resident of Sarrora,

who was missing since last night

after he left his house to feed his

cattle which was tied at some

distance from his house, was

found this morning from a mini-

canal near his residence.

He said no injury mark was

found on the body of the

deceased, which was handed

over to his legal heirs for last

rites after conducting post

mortem at Government Medical

College and Hospital, Jammu.

In this connection, a case

under relevant sections has been

registered at police station

Domana and further investiga-

tions started.

Plea to DyCMThe attention of the Deputy Chief Minister Dr Nirmal Singh is

drawn towards the plight of people of villages Gol, Nandini,Trilokpur, Raipur Jagir, Saari and Pouni Chak.

These five villages are located just 5 kms from Jewel Chowkand 2 Kms from 4th bridge. But due to callous attitude of theJammu Development Authorities (JDA) the entrance to these vil-lages was blocked in May 2014 on the pretext that some people

had encroached JDA land. But irony of the situation is that thosewho had grabbed the land have road connectivity while the origi-nal residents of these village have been denied the same.

As much we face tremendous hardships in reaching the

respective villages. We have brought the matter in the notice of

the concerned authorities a number of times but no action has

been taken in this regard so far.

The condition of the roads in the vicinity is so bad that these

have becomes traffic unworthy.

We hope the Deputy Chief Minister would take cognizance of

the matter at the earliest.

Maintenance of Bhagat Singh ParkThis is to draw the attention of the District Administration

Udhampur towards Shaheed Bhagat Singh Park, located in thevicinity of the town. The park is regularly frequented by largenumber of people during morning and evening hours.

The District Administration took some measures to improve itfurther, but it still invites the attention of the authorities.

The pathway drain remains choked, as a result of it, nastysmell spreads all around the park. Dustbins installed these remainoverflowed. As such it is requested that to keep it pollution freeand attractive following steps need to be taken at the earliest.

(i) One wholetime sweeper be deployed.(ii) For maintenance of the park, additional Chowkidar may

also be deployed.(iii)DDT spray may be got done to keep plants disease free.Besides, the only two Chinar trees in Udhampur are drying

due to some mysterious diseases. To save them they be adminis-tered some treatment.

Hope, the District Administration would look into the matterat the earliest.

Cleaning of Patta Bohri nallahThis is to draw the attention of the Commissioner JMC

towards the condition of blocked nallah in the Patta Bohri areafrom Patta Bohri Chowk to Radha Soami Ashram. This nallahwas constructed by GREF while constructing the road about 15

years back. Since then this nallah has never been cleaned and nowthe condition is that after a little bit of rain, the rain water insteadof running into the nallah starts entering the shops and houses oflocal inhabitants..

Therefore, it is urged that the cleaning of nallah be done atpriority basis to give a sigh of relief to the residents.

Encroachments in Trikuta NagarJammu Municipal Corporation has not undertaken any drive

to remove encroachments made in shape of 10-15 feet long ramps

covering substantial part of main roads and sub-lanes in last 4

years in newly constructed colonies especially Trikuta Nagar.

Municipal Act has become a piece of paper and is being com-

pletely ignored by the Enforcement wing of the Corporation

resulting in rampant corruption. The drains have been construct-

ed in complete violation of drainage plan leading to dead ends and

left unrepaired causing damage to neighbouring houses . Time to

time representations made by the residents of sector 4, 5 & 6 of

Trikuta Nagar to the authorities of JMC have been ignored. There

is a urgent need to remove the illegal encroachments of public

land especially in sector 4-5-6 in Trikuta Nagar and JMC should

immediately take necessary action to remove illegal encroach-

ments and provide relief to the law abiding citizen residing in

Trikuta Nagar Colony Jammu.

Dab Narayanbagh faces flood threatThe bank of river Sind at village Rabitar has not been plugged

till date and people of the adjacent areas are very much scared of

the existing situation.

The Government has released 5 lakh for construction of R

wall and 2.50 lakh for mud filling but it is unfortunate that on

ground situation is quite different.

People of the Dab and its adjacent areas are in a great threat if

water level of the river Sindh increases. The matter has been

brought in the notice of the concerned AEE Flood Department. In

case concrete steps are not taken at the earliest, people will be

forced to take agitational path.

Kalakote-Siot road in bad conditionThe apathetic attitude of the concerned authorities towards

people of Kalakote is visible from the bad condition of Kalakote-

Jammu-Poonch national highway. The road is in such a condition

that a vehicle can attain a speed of 15-20 km/hr at the most.

People seeking emergency services in Jammu may die even

before reaching Siot where the highway begins. The road has only

potholes and nothing else. Worst condition of this road continues

for the last one decade.

being faced by the people due tonon-availability of basic ameni-ties like power and drinkingwater to the people in the months

of summer, Mr Shagotra said thatrecent rains have exposed theGovernment because hundredsof people have been affected bythe flash floods but authoritieshave failed to provide them anyrelief. Many people have becomehomeless but authorities havedone nothing to provide themshelters.
