Silence, inaction of adminstration raise serious questions of accountability: Qayoom wani

KS News Desk

Srinagar, Dec 12: Chairman Jammu and Kashmir Civil Society Forum (JKCSF), Abdul Qayoom Wani, expressed his deep shock and serious concern over the recurring revelations of spurious drugs, rotten meat cartels, and now the alarming emergence of an “egg mafia.”

In a statement issued here, Wani said these incidents pose a direct threat to the health, safety, and future of our people.

"It is extremely unfortunate that such heinous crimes continue unchecked while the authorities responsible for safeguarding public health appear to be in deep slumber," he said .

JKCSF has questioned the stand of the government saying that there was no clarity about who is monitoring the markets to prevent such life-threatening adulteration.

"It is painful that many officers and ministers enjoy princely lifestyles while the lives of common people are put at stake," he said.

JKCSF demanded the inquiry reports besides the status of action taken so far.

"Why are sample reports not made public. The public perception that the drug mafia, rotten meat mafia, and adulterated food cartels are operating hand-in-glove with corrupt officials and political elements cannot be ignored anymore," he said 

He said the silence and inaction of concerned departments raise serious questions of accountability.

"JKCSF makes a strong appeal to the Lieutenant Governor and the Chief Minister to intervene personally, ensure a time-bound investigation, expose all those involved, and take strictest action," the statement reas.

He said those responsible for poisoning the population should be booked under PSA, as their actions amount to playing with the lives of present and future generations.

"The people of Jammu & Kashmir are exhausted witnessing mere cosmetic statements and political drama repeated over decades," he said.

JKCSF has reiterated its unwavering commitment to raise its voice against every issue that adversely affects the day-to-day life of the people of J&K in particular, and citizens of the country in general.
