Manjit Singh said that it disheartens to see the jam-packed roads, power cuts, improper water supplies, scattered garbage, hanging live electricity wires, adverse condition of electric poles, condition of lanes and drains in Jammu West Assembly. “The Smart City Project is not being implemented on the ground and it is being used as a shadow by the BJP to protect the failures of the Corporation. The Corporation is hiding its failures and the development in the municipal limits has been limited to some of the selective wards,” he said. He said that the people are fed up with the BJP as they have not adopted a holistic approach to the development of all the areas equally. He said that unscheduled long electricity cuts in the soaring temperature have caused great inconvenience to the people in Jammu and the department concerned has failed to supply electricity. “The electricity cuts are longer than the defined schedule of PDD,” he said and added that water supply has also suffered leading to shortage of drinking water in the city and its peripheral areas.
