It's not state, but Govt is shining

By Manpreet Kour
GNS Report: If recent advertisement of the state government in all the local dailies of the state is to be believed, the state is marching ahead considerably towards progress. But things are not as bright as shown in the advertisement.

As per the advertisement, the state of Jammu and Kashmir is first in providing Primary Health facilities, 1st in implementation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Scheme (MGNREGA), 3rd in as far as Macro Economy is concerned, 4th in providing Primary Education, and 4th in providing better Investment Environment.

It is nothing but just an image building of the beleaguered Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and wastage of taxpayer’s money. One can imagine government’s expenditure of full page advertisement in all the local news papers.

Any society can be judged with its health, and the state of Jammu and Kashmir is far behind in this respect. In state’s one of the biggest children hospital that is SMGS HospitalShalamar Jammu, two or more patients on a single bed is easily seen. Even poor people have to buy drugs from the market.

There are dozens of primary schools without teachers and even proper infrastructure in entire length and breadth of the state. Even a primary school near the official residence of Chief Minister in winter capital is without building. The school is running in rented accommodation.

As far as MGNREGA is concerned, complaints in its deficiencies are a norm rather than exception.Concerned officials are busy in filling up their coffers. Genuine people arenot given employment under MGNREGA in many cases. For example in Surara Panchayat in district Kathua, construction work was done with the help of JCB machine, when it is strictly prohibited to get the work done with machines.

Industrial sector is facing the brunt of worst condition of law and order in the state. In this scenario, question arises that how investors could ever think of investing in the state.

If the facts given in the advertisement regarding the development of the state, in the newspapers are true, one can imagine the condition of other states of thecountry.

According to these facts and figures, this is developing India of 21st century.

GNS RAJOURI : The way opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) led by former JK Chief Minister and erstwhile union home minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayed has been emerging as a force in the border region of Poonch , Rajouri, is really a worrying situation for Congress and National Conference . It would be much better to say that the situation if more threatening for NC as compared to Congress as the region has always been strong belt of the former for decades . The latest example is the entry of Chowdhary Qamer Hussain of Rajouri in the party fold who was earlier associated with Congress and had contested on Congress ticket from Rajouri in 2002 assembly elections , but had finished second at  that time .

GNS Srinagar, Nov 30: Terming Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s latest move of courting BJP as his new allies a brazen show of opportunism, opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today said the National Conference has taken the political immorality to a new low by simultaneously entering into coalition of expedience with Congress and BJP. “As NC has always survived on trickery, its latest move to woo back its old allies (BJP) is in tune with the party’s philosophy of political opportunism and deceit,” PDP chief spokesman Naeem Akhtar said in a statement issued here today. He said, curiously, developing NC-BJP bonhomie coincides with the recent visit of senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha member Arun Jaitley in Jammu.
