Block development council (BDC) chairperson from D H Pora block of Kulgam district on Thursday held a protest demonstration at Press colony Srinagar against authorities for not allowing him to visit his area and meet people there.
BDC chairperson Sharif-ud-din Bhat said that he is not being allowed to visit his respective area for the last one and a half month as he has been “locked up” in Srinagar while funds recently allocated for the development of his respective constituencies were going lapse.
He said that the funds are about to get lapse as the administration is not allowing him to visit his respective constituency.
He further said in this pandemic that people face many problems, and if he will not help them during this time, then when will he.
He said that the same issue is being faced by several other representatives as well.
Asked about why he is not being allowed to visit his area, he said that the district administration says that due to security reasons and the COVID-19 pandemic, they will not allow him to move out.
“I appeal to the administration to allow me to go to my respective area so that I can spend the funds for the development of the area,” he further said.
