Srinagar, Nov 05: Apni Party District President Srinagar Noor Mohammad
Sheikh on Friday expressed dismay over the takeover of marriage halls
by CRPF in Srinagar especially at Shutrashahi in Batamaloo.
In a statement, Noor Mohammad Sheikh said the purpose of construction
of these community halls is to provide relief to the locals who mostly
belong to the urban congested areas.
“The people have already conveyed their deep apprehensions over such
arbitrary decisions wherein CRPF is being moved next to the
residential houses. The CRPF should be provided with appropriate
accommodations but that should not come at the cost of occupying
marriage halls that are required for various community functions,” he
said.
Sheikh appealed to the local administration to take a serious
cognizance of this matter and address the pressing concerns of the
locals at Shutrashahi.
“The government must review such arbitrary moves that created a
fearful and problematic atmosphere for the civilians in the
residential areas. There exists no scarcity for the government
infrastructure wherein the CRPF can be easily relocated. I hope the
Lieutenant Governor led administration will take requisite steps in
this regard,” he said.
