In Pulwama, Azad promises ‘Khushhaal Jammu Kashmir’ Pulwama, Aug 27: Chairman Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) Ghulam Nabi Azad on Sunday said that given the huge potential in horticulture and agriculture sectors, Pulwama will be developed as a major economic centre once DPAP is elected to power in Jammu and Kashmir. Addressing a public rally here despite the onset of the fruit harvesting season, Azad assured the people that the world-class fruit mandis encompassing all facilities would be established in order to give a boost to the horticulture sector in Pulwama. “The fruit mandis will have the latest technology, speedy transport system to ferry apple crop to mandis across the country, loan facilities and extensive support to boost fruit production,” he said. Eulogising his belief in “Old Kashmir” which saw “all-round development” 15 years ago when he was chief minister, he lamented the model of “New Kashmir” where people are “unhappy due to record unemployment of both boys and girls, poor infrastructure and economic stagnation which has led to poverty in rural Jammu and Kashmir”. Azad said that the DPAP model of governance encompasses equal employment for educated girls as well as boys in my idea of ‘Khushaal Jammu Kashmir’ which would also guarantee jobs, roads, electricity, mobile connectivity and financial stability. “Also, skilled and unskilled workers will have opportunities by utilising the full potential of the region,” he added. Stressing that DPAP’s manifesto will include double and triple shifts to revamp the poor infrastructure, the former chief minister said the region will be promoted during fruit seasons for tourism. “Tourist spots like Shadimarg, Gulshanmarg and other beautiful meadows will be developed at par with Gulmarg and for that tourism-related infrastructure will be developed and jobs will be guaranteed for the youth of the same districts. Schools and hospitals will be upgraded at the earliest,” he envisioned. Lamenting over the distribution and use of adulterated pesticides which had a devastating impact on fruit growers, Azad cautioned people to remain vigilant and compared the situation with Himachal Pradesh where the government has one remarkable work to curb the use of adulterated pesticides or fungicides.
