“For the last 10 days I have been travelling rural and border areas of Jammu region and I am not happy because most of these areas are under-developed”, he said and pointed out that common people have been struggling to get basic amenities like roads, health facilities and drinking water.
It is result of the lopsided developmental policies being adopted by the successive state governments in Jammu and Kashmir, he opined and reminded that gathering that during the tenure of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed a process of balanced development was started and Jammu region got its share in every sphere of life.
“Three year is a very small tenure but Mufti Mohammad Sayeed during had proved how to treat all regions equally”, he observed and said that it was all due to such policies of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed that he has joined PDP.
Assuring that PDP would present an exclusive vision document for the socio-economic growth of the people of Jammu region, Vikramaditya said that he has a vision for the comprehensive growth and development of entire Jammu region. “We have to identify areas which can be explored for tourism and some belts which have the potential of industrial growth”, he said and reiterated his commitment that a comprehensive programme would be formulated for the socio-economic growth of the inhabitants of Kandi belts of Jammu region.
Vikramaditya observed that some industries have been set up in Samba area but locals were not given employment as per the policies formulated by the government. “Locals should be given their share as par the norms established by the government as pre-conditions for setting industry in Jammu and Kashmir”, he demanded.
