Friends & Critics
Abrogation of article 370 and 35-A Since the nation is convinced I support this
move. But certain aspects need to be considered.
a-
Was it necessary to bring this through a Prudential
order ? May be the ruling dispensation was not able to get a foot hold in
J&K, there appeared to be the only alternative to the govt.
b-
The crown of India is dismembered. The state of
J&K is depilated with two mini UT’s of Jammu & Srinagar, under a Lt.
Governor to CM’s will be sucking their thumbs, directly under the Central Govt.
c-
Can we expect investment to come in to the valley ? The employment generation is a question mark ?
When the whole country is facing a economic low !
d-
The present stats on J&K indicates – HDI is above –
BPL is better – Health & Education is better – Crime rate is low. If you
take state of Gujrat as a yardstick the state of J&K is better than Gujrat.
e-
Started Air Force carrier year 1964 from J&K some
indicators are very relevant. Air fields LEH which was PSP and Kacchha Runway
now it is 3500 mtr long concrete runway. THOISE was a Kacchha runway. Later on
this became 1700 mtr long concrete runway. (When the 1st IL76 landed
in January 1987). Now the Thoise runway is 3500 mtr long fully concrete. Even
the road from Srinagar to LEH – via Zozila, Dras, Kargil is two lane black top.
Looks like an international road into the hills. Similarly ¾ star hotels in KARGIL
and LEH are available for tourist. Though the development can always be enhanced.
But to say that it remained neglected is far from truth.
The problems can be many but we should wait for at
least 6 months to see the changes.
