Nowshera, March 18, (Scoop News)-Former MLC and chief spokesperson of state Congress party, Ravindder Sharma has said that displaced persons of 1947 from POJK and adhar card seekers in Nowshera – Sunderbani are running from pillar to post but Govt. is totally indifferent to their plight.

Addressing public meeting at Nowshera today, he said that the Govt. has failed on all fronts and the general public is struggling for the basic amenities of life like ration, drinking water and power.
There is great resentment amongst the people against the Govt. especially pick and choose on political considerations in providing basic necessities of water, power, ration etc.
Sharma said that the PDS system of the State Govt. has totally collapsed. It has miserably failed to provide ration to the people even after increasing the price at the rate of Rs.5/- per Kg.
He said the Govt is talking for linking adhar cads to the ration but it is unfortunate that 40% population of Rajouri district is without adhar cards.
The process of preparing adhar cards is faulty as there is heavy rush and the people especially the old, women and sick people have to stand in queues for hours together for their turn while several new conditions are being sought for enrolment, Sharma said.

Sharma said PRO Jammu office has given dates of September /October for collecting certified copies of documents sought by applicants, for complying with the conditions to get the meagre relief amount, while the government does not intend to provide anything else to them.
The government is totally unsympathetic to their hardships in fulfilling the unreasonable documentations.
