Provincial Youth National Conference President Mr Ajaz Jan on Tuesday expressed dismay over total neglect of the border areas, saying the PDP-BJP Government had lost its will to govern as a result of which the administration had become completely rudderless.
Chairing a meeting of the party workers, Mr Jan said the problems of people were accumulating and nobody in the administration was really interested in coming to their rescue. He said the utility services were in disarray and the people were craving for minimum basis necessities.
Referring to the washing away of Degwar Terwa Road due to flash floods and incessant rains, the Provincial Youth National Conference President said no concrete step has been taken to restore it, as a result of which the students were deprived of reaching their educational institutions. Also, the normal activity in the adjoining villages had come to standstill, he added.
