Welcoming the GoI decision of suspending the J&K State Government and placing the sensitive trouble torn State under the Governor’s rule, the Dogra Sadar Sabha (DSS) expressed that there could be no better option to pull the state out from its present State of lawlessness, non-governance, corruption, apathy and rampant discrimination with growing menace of terrorism and anti- national sentiment coupled with the import of the ISIS/ Wahabi influences.
In a memorandum to the Governor the DSS agreed that the top priority for the State is to establish peace and the rule of the law in Kashmir Valley by crushing the terror mongers, alien followers and the factories of radicalization so that the common man feels safe, secure and assured about his/her survival.
The President DSS Th. Gulchain Singh in his memorandum wrote that the re-establishing of a climate conducive for an effective democratic set up that is fair to all regions and non-discriminatory comes next. Closely connected with it is to revive the grass root level democratic civic bodies by holding Panchayat elections that had been eluding people in spite of repeated announcements and scheduling. The development projects and revival of tourism can only be possible thereafter.
The Memorandum pressed their early demands and recalled actions pending on the following issues:-
The blocking of road in front of the winter secretariat every year is causing great hardship to Jammuiets, tourists and daily commuters
Restoration of Mubarak Mandi and retrieving of Anchives files back from ill placed Kala Kendra.
The revival of the institutes of Chowkidars and Lamberdars which have been eroded and facing multiple problems with lack of support and authority.
The living conditions of a vast population along LoC and the IB is deplorable and they are under perpetual threat of death and destruction of their houses, dwellings and standing crops. Schools have to be closed every now and then. The drug mafias sponsored from across LoC/IB are active and with connivance of local influential people, the innocent adolescents are being lured to the menace of drugs and their lives being ruined for narrow personal/political gains.
The Memo rued over the rampant discrimination going on as usual getting bad to worst with added evil efforts to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere of Jammu region; and sought the Governor’s help to pull the State out of its present miseries.
Gen Secretary,
