Srinagar: Senior Congress Leader Tariq Hameed Karra on Saturday said that there were reports of a “lack of Muharram arrangements and other facilities including developmental requirements in Shia-dominated areas reflecting the non-seriousness on the part of the administration”.
“The roads are in dilapidated condition; street lights reportedly have not been installed in various areas leading to disappointment amongst the community,” Karra said.
He made these comments while interacting with a delegation of prominent members of the Shia community, who complained of mismanagement leading to a lack of facilities for the observance of Muharram. They also apprised that the interior roads in different areas are in a dilapidated condition.
Karra expressed serious concern over the negligent attitude adopted by the administration with regard to Muharram arrangements and urged the Govt to make a comprehensive plan on a war footing basis to ensure every facility to people during the auspicious period of Muharram.
Senior Congress Leader has also received scores of phone calls from different districts with regard to the dilapidated condition of roads, besides shortage of essentials and poor supply of electricity.
Karra strongly emphasized the Govt to gear up the administration to ensure every facility in Shia-dominated areas including repairing roads, supply of essentials, and uninterrupted electricity during the auspicious period of Muharram, without any further loss of time.
