Misgovernance affecting day-to-day life across Kashmir, alleges Omar

Srinagar, Dec 16 : Hitting out at the state government over alleged misgovernance, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday said acute crisis in the delivery of basic governance was affecting day-to-day life across Kashmir valley.


“The state of misgovernance and administrative chaos in the Valley has affected the day-to-day life of the people and is a cause of misery and suffering.
The power crisis is severe and serious and there seems to be no sense of urgency or direction from the Government to address this issue despite the harsh weather that makes lack of electricity a major concern,” Mr Abdullah, who is the working president of National Conference (NC) alleged, while addressing Party’s Monthly Provincial Committee Meeting held at Party Headquarters ‘Nawa-e-Subha’ in Srinagar.


He said repeated pleas and desperate appeals from civil society groups and local residential committees from across the Valley that one reads in newspapers every day seem to be falling on deaf ears as the Government.


“The government has apparently decided to derive sadistic pleasure from the sufferings of the people,” Mr Abdullah said.
