Abhay Bakaya tours flash flood hit Gulshanabad and Asraarabad areas in Sidhra

• Seeks protection work along Nallah, construction of proper road in these areas of ward number 71

JAMMU: Apni Party General Secretary Youth Wing, and Spokesperson, Abhay Bakaya today toured the flash - flood hit Gulshanabad and Asraarabad residential colonies in Sidhra that has affected several families. As per a press release, Abhay accompanied by the Party leader Shakti Devi, Salma Begum and others met the people from flood hit areas in Gulshanabad, and Asraarabad areas in ward number 71, Sidhra.

During his interaction with the flood affected area, Abhay expressed his deep concern over the ignorant attitude of the authorities even after knowing that the people have suffered losses following heavy rains, and flash floods. “There is no proper road connectivity in the area whereas the flash flood adds more problems for the people in these areas. The authorities should have surveyed the areas to lay crate work / stone protection wall to protect the residential houses in both the colonies from the flood,” he said.

He said that the authorities apparently seemed unmoved with the devastating floods every year, and hence, there was no crate work / protection work on the nallah that passes through the area. He also raised concern over the unscheduled power cuts, irregular drinking water, poor basic amenities, and the poor road connectivity to these areas of ward number 71 where the people have been living for the last 15 to 20 years.

He demanded immediate intervention of the authorities to take preventive measures for the people living along the water body that has become a threat to their lives, and properties. He also demanded the basic amenities should also be improved with the 24/7 electricity supply system and regular clean drinking water.
