Reviving Public Outreach Programme would cause draining of money and time: National Conference

JAMMU: Referring to reviewing of Public Outreach Programme, Provincial President J&K National Conference, Jammu, Rattan Lal Gupta on Monday pointed out that the government decision to revive the public outreach programme by 60-70 Union ministers- is sheer waste of money, resources and time.

He observed this and said that this is happening because on ground people are confronting with numerous problems as LG Manoj Sinha’s administration has been totally paralyzed with policy deficit and mismanagement of funds. In a press statement, Senior NC leader Gupta said, "The so-called public outreach programmes are nothing but the Centre’s move to give its ministers a break from work and enjoy the beauty of J&K on government exchequer."

"Earlier versions of these programmes have prove out to be damp squib as on ground the people are facing problems as never before", he said.

NC leader said that government should come up with detailed report of the works conducted after the previous outreach programmes held in J&K twice. Rattan Lal Gupta said that the output of the earlier programmes was proved to be failure and the same can be expected from the one starting on October 10.
