IS ANYBODY LISTENING ?Start bus service

We the students of Pakher-pora are facing a lot of problems due to bad transport service on Pakherpora-Pulwama road. The service on this route com-prises of 18 seater Mini Buses, which is grossly inadequate as against heavy rush of travellers. We students alone on this route number more than 500 and in the absence of bus space, we are forced to sit on roofs and hang on the sides of buses. The road is covered by big trees which often results in injures to students. We request RTO Pul-wama to look on the matter and start 50-seater bus service on this route.

Bad roadsWe would like to draw atten-

tion of the concerned authori-ties towards the bad condition of our road, which connects three villages Buchoo, Push-nag and Puthar, 5-6 kms from national highway. This road is totally damaged with large pits everywhere. It is so narrow that two vehicles hardly pass at a time on this road. One more problem is overgrown trees and bushes along the sides of the road, which dangerously obstruct the vehicular move-ment. We humbly request the concerned authorities to look into the matter and take regu-latory measures to improve the present condition of our road.

Beggars Everywhere

It is quite depressing to watch large number of outside professional beggars freely roaming across length and

breadth of Srinagar city par-ticularly near shrines, mosques, temples, educational institutions, hospitals, petrol filling stations and public parks. They often compel people to pay to them. People don’t know how to get rid of this trouble as there is a strong suspicion of an organised mafia behind these beggars. No doubt a human being has to extend a helping hand to deserving per-sons like orphans, destitute or specially-abled persons, but not to those who can easily manage their livelihood. Time demands that both state administration and the people collectively uproot this menace from the valley.

Playground needed

The youths of Pinglena Pul-wama have to face a dire situation due to non-availability of a play ground. On the other hand we have large pieces of land which are unused and don’t belong to anyone. Like in Bateh Weard where there is a ground but there are so many trees which create problems during playing. Children play on roads, foothpaths as there is no ground to play. I request the authorities to kindly survey the area and select a suitable land for turning it into a play ground.

Expedite selection process

We had applied for the post of Computer Operator/Data Entry Operator in Jammu and Kashmir High Court in the year 2007. Last year roll no. slips were issued to the eligible candidates. The examination which was scheduled to be held on May, 2013 was post-

poned and till date no exami-nation has been conducted. As we have crossed the age bar, this is our only hope of getting government employ-ment. We therefore request the concerned authorities to look into the matter and expedite the process of selection.

Connect drainsThis is regarding connectivity

of drains in Lalbazar area, which was bound to be completed by June, 2014. Till date no such activ-ity is seen in the area of Housing Colony, Lalbazar, with the result macadamisation of internal roads of this area is pending for the last five years. Concerned authori-ties are requested to kindly take necessary initiatives to connect the drains and macdamise the roads at an earliest. Thousands of

people are suffering due to these bad roads.

Potholed roadsWe, the residents of Irmlane,

Budshah Nagar, Natipora are suffering from lack of proper drainage system and con-crete roads. The whole colony is potholed, due to which all the residents are facing acute hardships. We had brought the matter to all the concerned authorities and MLA, but noth-ing was done on ground. We request the concerned author-ities to construct the deep drains and improve the condi-tion of the roads at an earliest so that we don’t have to suffer anymore.

Release our salaries

The teachers, working under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), have not been paid their salaries for the last four months creating immense problems for them and their families. For some it is their only source of income. The longer and unknown delay, in releasing the salaries, is making it impos-sible for the teachers to arrange for their basic needs like ration, clothes, and school fees of chil-dren, medical expenses, electric-ity and water dues. The financial crisis is even affecting their per-formance as they are unable to focus and that is harming the aca-demic work of the poor students studying under these teachers. Hence, the state government is requested to release the pending salaries of these teachers with immediate effect so that they do not suffer any more.

Defunct Transformer

We, the residents of village Til-agam Bala are facing acute elec-tricity shortage for the last one and a half months due to defunct transformer. The damaged trans-former which was taken to PDD workshop Pattan by our youth was returned ten days later without rectifying its fault. The transformer is only 100 KV which is too little a recipe for about 100 households comprising of three habitations namely Mir, Pandith and Kumar Mohalla. Now, our request to the concerned MLA and department is that the transformer be replaced by a 250 KV or make available another transformer that can take off the extra load. If we are not that lucky, at least, repair the old one.

Faulty bookRecently the Kashmir Univer-

sity held entrance test of M.Ed (Distance Mode) 2014 and when the answer key was uploaded, the situation was totally confus-ing. Many keys were shown wrong on the website but they were right according to the book written by university faculty S.A Bhat and G. A. Wani Asst. professor depart-ment of education. When we went to the office of Dean Academic Affairs he denied keys being wrong and told us go to the author of the book for clarification. When we went to the author of the book he replied casually that yes it is his fault. We want the higher officials to take a strict action against the university faculty for destroying the career of students by publish-ing such wrong books.

Lecturers stuck in Ladakh

Every year lecturers of school education are trans-ferred to Ladakh division for a period of two years and after completion of two years they are repatriated back to the valley. This year the lectures who completed their tenure were issued transfer orders before the Model Code of Con-duct (MCC) of parliamentary elections. Even as the MCC was lifted, no new lecturer has joined in Ladakh and due to which we are not being relieved. We are suffering a lot due to the situation for no fault of ours. It is therefore request-ed to concerned authorities to resolve our problem as soon as possible.
