JAMMU, Jan 31: MLA Jammu West, Arvind Gupta, along with BJP senior leader and former JMC councilor, Sanjay Kumar Baru, BJP Shakti Kendra Pramukh, Bubesh Sharma and Rajan Radhey, held a public grievance redressal meeting with residents of Ward-41 at Colonel Colony, Talab Tillo Bohri, here, today falling under the Jammu West Assembly constituency.
During the interaction, residents highlighted several day-to-day civic issues affecting their area. A major concern raised by the locals was the acute shortage of drinking water supply in various pockets of the Ward, which has been causing hardship to the residents.
Responding to the issues raised by the residents and the former councilor, MLA Arvind Gupta assured the public that all possible efforts are being made to ensure a consistent and adequate supply of drinking water in the area. He informed that the tubewell constructed in the Chaman Vihar area, which had become non-functional due to technical issues, is now being made operational, with the tendering process for the pending works already initiated.
During the meeting, Arvind Gupta also addressed the concerns of residents living in flood-affected areas. He highlighted that the Rs 1,430 crore sanctioned by the Central Government for disaster relief in Jammu and Kashmir is a significant and commendable step taken in public interest. He expressed gratitude to Prime Minister, Narendra Modi-led Central Government, stating that this assistance will not only provide much-needed relief to flood-affected families but also help strengthen infrastructure in vulnerable areas.
Earlier in the meeting, Sanjay Kumar Baru appreciated the efforts of the local MLA for the implementation of the comprehensive sewage project worth Rs 24 crore, which is currently underway in Ward-41 and adjoining areas. He, however, pointed out that the ongoing digging of roads and lanes for the project has caused considerable inconvenience to the public and has also led to accidents in certain areas. He urged the authorities to ensure proper safety measures and timely restoration of roads.
BJP Shakti Kendra Pramukh Bubesh Sharma reaffirmed that addressing public issues remains a top priority for the Bharatiya Janata Party.
