Jammu, Jan 29: Apni Party President Syed Muhammed Altaf Bukhari has strongly opposed the employment of the outsiders in power projects of Chenab Valley and demanded job protection for local youth of three districts.
Addressing a joining program at Jammu’s Apni Party Office in Gandhi Nagar, Altaf Bukhari welcomed retired Forester, Irshad Ahmed Masoom from Kishtwar and District President, People Conference in Doda, Saleem Magray who joined Apni Party.
Extending his support to the local youth of Kishtwar, Doda, and Ramban Districts, Altaf Bukhari referred to the growing unemployment among the youth in Chenab Valley.
“We have received certain complaints about the companies running power projects that they have imported non-local laborers and skilled persons from outside J&K while they have ample manpower which is easily available in Kishtwar, Doda, and Ramban Districts,” he said.
He said “If the companies continue to deny employment to the local youth in these Districts by employing the outsiders, the Apni Party would oppose it strongly,” he added.
He urged the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha for his personal intervention with regard to the employment to the local youth in power projects in Chenab Valley.
“The youth are the future of J&K and we are committed to protect their future with a commitment to develop every region equally, employment to all the unemployed youth, electricity to the un-electrified villages, clean drinking water to every village and remote places,” he said.
He said that “The Party is focused to save the future of the youth and the elements trying to fuel the peaceful situation to gain politically should know that people are not ready to accept their divisive politics again.”
He said that “It is unfortunate that the elements who still believe in creating differences between the two regions, but the Apni Party will never allow such elements to succeed.”
