NC delegation visits Dhangri victim families

DHANGRI: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC), while accusing the J&K administration of fiddling with the lives of the people, has said that the weapons provided to the Village Defence Guards to defend terror attacks are defunct and not functioning properly. It said that using such weapons at the time of urgency would be only a suicidal step.
On the directions of Party President, Dr Farooq Abdullah, a delegation of J&K National Conference leaders headed by Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial President JKNC Jammu along with senior party leaders visited every house of terror affected families in Dhangri and expressed grief and sympathies to the terror victims. Rattan Lal Gupta specially conveyed condolence on behalf of the NC stalwarts Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah.
“Capt (Retd) Balraj Sharma, a senior citizen of Village Dhangri apprised the visiting senior NC leaders that over a week has passed but the security agencies have failed to make any breakthrough and bring the culprits to book. He demanded that the case should be handed over to NIA, besides all the lapses and shortcomings prior and after the event be probed thoroughly and culprits be booked,” the NC said in a statement. “He also demanded adequate security grid in the region for people’s safety and security.
Terrorists involved in the attack are still at large and roaming around. We are feeling insecure in our homes.”
Expressing resentment against the administration, he also demanded a probe into the delay in shifting of the critically injured persons to GMC hospital Jammu. NC leaders, while coming down heavily on the government for its failure to protect the people from terror onslaughts, questioned on the IED blast taking place at the killing site next morning. They asserted that this was a blatant security lapse that led to death of two minors. They said that government cannot get away conveniently by paying ex-gratia and making a few words lip sympathy.
