Leader of Opposition in the J&K Legislative Assembly, Shri Sunil Sharma, today called on Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha at Raj Bhawan Srinagar and held an extensive discussion on several critical issues affecting the people of Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of recent natural calamities.
During the meeting, Shri Sharma highlighted the issue of road connectivity across the Union Territory, particularly in areas cut off due to landslides and floods. He stressed that many villages and towns remain disconnected, which is severely hampering public movement, delivery of essentials, and access to healthcare.
The power supply and water supply crisis was also raised in detail. Shri Sharma pointed out that many flood-hit and hilly regions are facing acute electricity cuts and irregular drinking water facilities, creating immense hardships for common people. He urged the administration to ensure restoration on a war footing.
On the matter of flood relief, Shri Sharma emphasized that the current allocation for damaged houses is grossly inadequate. He requested that the financial support for affected families be increased substantially, so that people whose homes have been destroyed or partially damaged can rebuild their lives with dignity.
The postponement of competitive examinations, including the JKPSC Lecturer recruitment and Munsiff examinations, was also discussed at length. Shri Sharma conveyed the concerns of aspirants who are unable to prepare or even reach examination centres due to poor connectivity, floods, and internet issues. He appealed to the administration to ensure fairness by rescheduling these exams.
The Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha gave a patient hearing to all the issues raised and assured Shri Sunil Sharma that these matters will be taken up on priority for timely resolution.
Shri Sunil Sharma expressed gratitude to the Hon’ble LG for his understanding and prompt assurance. He said, “As Leader of Opposition, it is my duty to be the voice of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. I will continue to raise their concerns with full sincerity and commitment, ensuring that every citizen’s voice is heard and addressed.”
