Jammu, Jan 15: Apni Party President Syed Mohammed Altaf Bukhari on Friday evening called on Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha at Raj Bhawan in Jammu.
During the meeting, Bukhari discussed various issues pertaining to socio-economic development and sought the intervention of the Lt Governor in some of the important matters including the arbitrary curtailment in the age bar for J&K Civil Services aspirants, the pathetic condition of the stranded passengers especially the patients, students, and the tourists who are stuck in Srinagar and Jammu due to closure of National Highway.
Bukhari emphasized on the need that the truth behind Hokerser–Srinagar encounter be brought into the public domain in light of the apprehensions raised by the families of the three slain youth.
He said that the revelation of the factual details about this controversial encounter is imperative in view of the recently exposed Amshipora–Shopian encounter in which three labourers from Rajouri District were killed in the cold blood.
Apni Party President impressed upon the Lt Governor to order for the necessary boarding and lodging arrangements for the stranded passengers including students and patients who are stuck up in both the capitals of J&K in view of the closure of the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway.
He sought air sorties for the evacuation of stranded passengers from Srinagar to Jammu and vice-versa. Besides these issues, Bukhari highlighted various developmental issues pertaining to both the divisions of J&K and urged the Lt Governor to get the stalled projects completed in a time-bound manner.
