JAMMU: At the Party headquarters of Bharatiya Janata Party in Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, BJP leaders continued their daily public grievance redressal programme today in which BJP State Vice President Rajeev Rajput Charak and State Secretary Aarti Jasrotia were present to listen to the issues of the people. During the interaction, people from various areas projected their grievances before the BJP leaders, many of which were resolved on the spot through immediate communication with the concerned departments and officials.

Mrs. Rama and Mrs. Aarti raised the issue related to the free e-bus service for women and informed that on Kathua Road and in several other parts of Jammu, bus drivers often do not stop the buses for female passengers, causing great inconvenience to women commuters. Taking serious note of the matter, BJP State Vice President Rajeev Rajput Charak wrote to the Transport Commissioner of Transport Department Jammu and Kashmir seeking necessary directions and early resolution of the issue.

Meanwhile, Ganesh Dutt Sharma, a resident of Vikram Chowk, Jammu, lodged a complaint against the officials of Jammu Municipal Corporation alleging adoption of a “pick and choose” policy in anti-encroachment drives. He stated that despite similar encroachments by all shopkeepers in the market, action was being taken only against selected individuals. BJP leaders spoke to Joint Commissioner Mr. Kalbhushan Khajuria over the phone and urged a fair inquiry into the matter along with appropriate action.

Mr. Buddhi Singh highlighted the persistent water scarcity problem in Jallochak area and sought immediate intervention from the concerned department. Similarly, Mr. Satpal Sharma brought to light that after his migration from Ramban due to terrorism, certain local persons had allegedly encroached upon his vacant land. BJP leaders assured that the matter would be taken up with the concerned authorities for proper investigation and necessary action.

The BJP leaders stated that the party remains committed to public welfare and continues to act as a bridge between the administration and the common people for timely redressal of grievances.
