Jagti Migrant Camp Quarters in Deteriorating State, JK Congress Chief Raises Alarm
Jammu and Kashmir Congress President Vikar Rasool Wani has brought attention to the deplorable condition of the quarters at the Jagti migrant camp in Jammu. During a recent visit, Wani expressed deep concern over the lack of basic amenities and the urgent need for repairs to ensure the safety and well-being of the residents.
Congress Chief's Inspection and Findings
Vikar Rasool Wani conducted a thorough inspection of the camp, where he observed several critical issues:
- Structural damage to buildings, including cracks and leaks.
- Inadequate water supply and sanitation facilities.
- Poor electrical wiring, posing fire hazards.
- Lack of maintenance leading to overall decay.
He emphasized that these conditions are unacceptable and called for immediate action from the authorities to address the grievances of the camp dwellers.
Call for Government Intervention
Wani urged the Jammu and Kashmir administration to take swift measures to improve the living standards at the Jagti camp. He highlighted that the residents, many of whom are displaced from their original homes, deserve dignified living conditions and basic infrastructure.
The Congress leader also appealed to the central government to allocate necessary funds for the renovation and upgradation of the camp facilities. He stressed that ensuring proper housing and amenities is crucial for the welfare and rehabilitation of the migrant community.
Background of Jagti Migrant Camp
The Jagti migrant camp was established to provide shelter to Kashmiri Pandits and other displaced persons. Over the years, it has housed thousands of families, but the infrastructure has not kept pace with the growing needs. The current state of the quarters reflects a broader issue of neglect in migrant resettlement projects.
Wani's visit and subsequent statements aim to shed light on this pressing issue and mobilize support for necessary reforms. He assured the residents that the Congress party will continue to advocate for their rights and work towards securing better living conditions.
