There are so many factors that alienate these two cities from each other though being the aligning provinces of the same State of J&K.
One of the most disturbing and the most alarming factor is the disproportionate development in these two geographically most important cities.
Actions speak louder than words. Political parties which come in power in the state of j&k, always be-fool the people of jammu province by making false and deceitful claims that their party will see to it that jammu and kashmeer are both treated at par in so far as developmental activities are concerned. But it has always been the reverse of it.
No doubt, Kashmeer holds the key to the tourist industry in the state but that is not enough reason to overlook the deteriorating infrastructural mess in the jammu region.
It can not be denied at any cost that Valley needs to be upgraded infra-structurally just to keep pace with the International standards of tourist rudiments, but at the same time we have to see to it that jammu is also balanced and beautified. Otherwise it is bound to make the whole valley show up, vapid, tasteless and uninspiring.
Be it roads, public convenience points, bus stands, railway stations, Govt.offices, or for that matter the airports. There is a huge difference between what these places look like in these two cities.
I am not saying that the administrative agencies are not at work. They are, but a prudent and responsible citizen can very easily make out the difference.
Jammu is in shambles. Let it be known, loud and clear.
Authorities need to take the call in the right earnest, lest it is too late.
Please don’t let bus stands look like garbage dumps, public conveniences as stinky corpses and an airport no less than an over- crowded inter city general bus stand.
Every place has its degree of importance, to be in a state it should be, and this state of affairs ought to be maintained at every cost. And it the administration which has to set the things right.
It is also the people who can play a vital role in setting the home right. But in the contemporary world they too expect a great quality infra structure which can tempt them to the extent that they can’t help turning into responsible citizens at the very on-set.
