    سیکرٹریٹ میں فنڈز کی لوٹ مار ضرورت مند انتظار میں اور تجربے کار ٹھیکیدار کمیشن کے ذریعے سپیشل فنڈز حاصل کرنے میں ہوتے ہیں کامیاب

    عمرارشدملک//

    راجوری: ہر سال مالی سال کے اختتام پذیر ہونے سے قبل جموں کشمیر سیکرٹریٹ میں لاکھوں روپے صرف چند فیصد کمیشن دے کر حاصل کئے جاتے ہیں اور ضرورت مند لوگوں کو ہر بار صرف انتظار کرنا پڑتا ہے۔

    تفصیلات کے مطابق اس وقت مالی سال اختتام پذیر ہونے والا ہے اور ضرورت مند انتظار میں ہیں کہ شاید حکومت فنڈز ریلیز کرے گی لیکن وہیں سیکرٹریٹ میں پیسے دے کر پیسے لینے کا سلسلہ عروج پر چل رہا ہے اور اس میں اعلیٰ آفیسران بھی شامل ہیں۔

    ذرائع کے مطابق لاکھوں روپے کے فنڈز صرف چند فیصد کمیشن سے حاصل کئے جارہے ہیں اور زیادہ تر سیاسی منظور نظر اور تجربے کار ٹھیکیدار علیحدہ علیحدہ کاموں کے لئے فنڈز کی خریدوفروخت کرتے ہیں اور مجبور ضرورت مند ہر سال اس انتظار میں رہتے ہیں ان کے چھوٹے چھوٹے کاموں کے لئے انہیں فنڈز دستیاب ہونگے لیکن ایسا کچھ بھی نہیں ہوتا اور کمیشن خوروں کی ملی بھگت سے چند مفاد پرست لاکھوں روپے کی ہیرا پھیری کرتے ہیں اور یہ واقعات کسی ایک یا دو اضلاع کا نہیں بلکہ جموں کشمیر کے زیادہ تر علاقوں میں ہورہا ہے۔

    لیفٹیننٹ گورنر سے لوگوں نے اپیل کی ہے کہ وہ اس سلسلہ کو بند کروائے اور اس میں ملوث چھوٹے بڑے ملازمین کے خلاف کارروائی عمل میں لائے۔

    The residents of Palulian area in Rajouri district are up in arms against the authorities for dilapidated condition of roads.

    Residents told GNS that the authorities are playing hide and seek with us as construction and widening of Rajouri to Palulian road in Rajouri district is still incomplete and is in shambles from several years.

    A local resident, Ibrar Qureshi, claimed that the concerned authorities have failed to macadamize and widening of the road as they were lying in dilapidated condition from past few years.

    He said the bad condition of roads become a nuisance, especially during rains.

    A road from Rajouri to Palulian is in bad condition and administration is sleeping, Said a resident Nissar Ahmed.

    He said that the roads are badly damaged that rainfall leaves no way for us to walk on as long strips of numerous roads turn into heaps of mud, adding that “the dilapidated road poses a risk of accidents and gets waterlogged after every rainfall.”

    The commuters of Palulian are having a tough time as the PMGSY Department has failed to carry out necessary repair of the roads.

    Locals have also requested the district administration to look into their grievances and take necessary steps so that they won’t suffer anymore.

    Thanamandi Admin fails to provide services to people Absenteeism, corruption in most offices derailed public service delivery

    RAJESH TANDON

    THANAMANDI, Mar 4: The administration of Thanamandi has virtually failed to provide public services to the people due to deep rooted corruption and absenteeism among the senior officials, which has derailed entire functioning of the official machinery.
    Sources told Early Times that people coming from remote areas had to face disappointment, when they find no officials present in their offices.
    Health facility in Thanamandi is in deplorable condition, the health centres don’t provide treatment and resort to referral system by referring patients to GMC Rajouri.
    Heath centres are running in shortage of essential medicines, even the medicines which are prescribed by the doctors are not available in the hospital and patients had to purchase them from market, which expose the local administration, they said.
    They further said that official vehicles are used for personal purpose by the officers in violation of rules. Even the transport facility is not available in various remote areas thereby people had to travel on foot. “Despite knowing the fact that majority of population rely on agriculture and their livestock but no animal camp has been organized to provide benefit to poor villagers,” they said. Many works under MGNAREGA were carried out in contravention of norms, huge amount of embezzlement is suspected. Locals appealed to LG for his intervention and demanded that action be taken against erring officials. Despite repeated calls, SDM Thanmandi didn’t pick phone for his comments.
