Agra visit December 2017.

December  20,2017: While the tourism department  government of uttar pradesh is minting lakhs  per day from entry tickets to  historical monuments built by Mughal Emperors , the Archaeological survey of India and Yogies tourism  is not paying due attention to their proper maintainence as can be seen in the pics of  Agra Fort  . Even religious sentiments are being hurt, as people are openly allowed to walk in with shoes into the grand and beautiful 'masjids build by mughls inside the fort premises. People are taking shoes right upto the membar shareef and there's not even a sign board to ask people to take off their shoes, I  disappointed when I saw.

Muslim wakf boards and other relevant organizations  are equally at fault in this as they have totally ignored the issues , instead of approaching the government  and courts over it.

Our health care system in 21th century!

December 03,2017: We had recently created pressure on CMO, Ananthnag to have a lady doctor posted to Pahalgam hospital but sadly, he has agreed  to have a lady doctor visit once every week which means for the other 6 days still only a staff nurse will attend to patients. We are appalled and shocked to see the way these officers look at us,our  rural poor people, the way they guiltlessly want to deny us even basic facilities like proper basic medical care. Even the political leaders who make big promises every election or those who have politically exploited the region continue from last 70 years time do not care for us. These people who have left no stone unturned in looting and exploiting the region only see us as vote banks but are blind to our suffering! Shame !!

Unscheduled power cuts, causing severe problems for the students and residents has become very difficult!

Unscheduled power cuts, causing severe problems for the students and residents has become very difficult!

December 02,2017: Frequent power cuts and undeclared load shedding in metered and un metered areas in pahalgam sub division is causing severe problems for the students and residents has become very difficult.
People fail to understand as to why the Power Development Department (PDD) resorts to frequent power cuts in the winter, when we have need the electricity most ....
We couldn’t fathom why poor people have face such kind  power cuts when they pay their bills regularly.
We appeal to the local administration esp District Development Commissioner Islamabad Ananthnag and Sub Division Magistrate Pahalgam to take immediate and serious note of the matter and do the needful to pull the region out of the ongoing power crisis?

Education department and our role!

December 02,2017: We had recently urged the education department to take notice of some RT and other teachers who appoint here in upper reaches of pahalgam or other habitations ,were not reporting to duty in their places in . We are glad and grateful to education department  esp secretary  education Farooq Ahmad Shah Sb that his department has been strict action taken against them, the teachers have been asked to report to their designated duty and some have even been suspended. There are some more influencial teachers, however, who have  not been suspended, and haven't even joined their duties yet . We demand that these defaulting teachers be also recalled like others have been, otherwise it will be discrimination, and we want fair justice to be done in the case.
