Srinagar: The ruling Peoples Democratic Party Bhat today drew the attention of the state government towards the waterlogged areas including the agricultural land in low-lying areas. The party sought immediate action from the department of Irrigation and Flood Control as well as PDD to address the problems arising out of water logging.
PDD should ensure adequate power supply in areas where pump-sheds are at work. Also the irrigation department needs to make all pump-sheds functional in valley particularly in Sonawari and Bandipore, PDP general secretary Nizamuddin Bhat said in a statement.
Bhat urged the government that UEED department may be asked to expedite activity in the Srinagar city where various roads continue to remain blocked and some low-lying areas face difficulties due to piled-up mud and rain water.
He also sought the attention of the government towards the condition of employees who have not received salaries for several months. He said that the government should ensure immediate release of funds to various departments.
The general secretary said that the personal concern of the Chief Minister Mufti Muhammad Sayeed and his Srinagar visit has lent a direction to the administration. Despite bad weather various departments in the administration have got involved in execution of the government decisions on rebuilding of roads, bridges and raising of infrastructure beside the relief and rehabilitation measures, Sayeed said.
