He said that the LG administration has failed to ensure equitable development in Loran-Mandi which is facing poor basic amenities.
Addressing a public meeting in Loran, the Former MLA said that the authorities have neglected several areas with regard to development.
“The people have developed feelings of alienation with the LG administration and the ground level officials are not responding to their demands appropriately due to which the people have lost their faith in the administration,” he said.
He said that the present situation has put the people in fix because of no political representation in the Govt. If the elections are not held in J&K within a stipulated time and the matter is delayed further, it would further widen the gap which is not suitable.
He said that “The holding of assembly polls will end the issues of development, inequality, unemployment, and grabbing of resources by the non-locals, poor basic amenities to the people.”
He however appreciated the administration for implementing some schemes for the welfare of the people including old age pension, PMAY, free ration etc.
He said that the local level administration has implemented welfare schemes which have given benefit to the poor people.
He demanded that a road from Loran – Tangmarh (Kashmir) should be completed within a stipulated time frame. “Only 12 kms of the said road has been completed but the rest of 24 kms is pending which needs to be completed on fast track,” he said.

Meanwhile, Apni Party leaders and other prominent people also highlighted their issues before Shah Mohammed Tantray and he assured them that he would project them before the concerned authorities.
