THANKS Mr. Abdullah!

SHEIKH NASIR HUSSAIN
Tragedy strikes once again. Another road accident snatches precious lives and once again Kishtwar has faced the brunt of government apathy and non serious attitude towards the serious issues of public importance. The death of thirty one people including twenty young teachers has come as a shock to this mountainous town which has seen many such tragedies in recent months and it has once again exposed the so called public representatives who till recently were building castle in air only to garner votes for themselves. Chief minister Omar Abdullah recently came on a private chopper to seek votes on the name of honest and dedicated government but today when the people of the area wanted a hand on their head to consol them and share their grief and pain the young Abdullah found none of his cabinet colleagues or senior govt officer to be sent to Kishtwar. The ‘dynamic’ leader, as his party colleagues love to call him, sent an RTO to access the situation. It seems that the blood of people of this far off area is too thin to attract the attention of the government. It seems that government is waiting for more such catastrophes before it can seriously think to come to the rescue of the people. But still the people of Kishtwar must express gratitude to ‘WORTHY’ chief minister for at least expressing sympathy with the bereaved families and for his ‘ GRAVE’ concern through press statements
