Apni Party youth wing state general secretary Abhay Bakaya on Friday strongly condemned the casual approach of the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) for its inability to provide basic amenities in the district which is being developed as a Smart City.
Addressing a 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 signboards 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 youth are mainly confronting the issue of ever-increasing unemployment,” he added when the youth present in the meeting complained that the government has not advertised the vacant posts in different departments.
