Budgam, Sept 1 2025
PDP leader Aga Muntazir Mehdi has strongly criticized the administration for failing to implement the AMRUT 2.0 water supply scheme in Budgam, despite repeated assurances.
In a post on X, Mehdi said that the people of Budgam have been struggling for decades due to the lack of clean drinking water, yet even the district headquarters remains deprived of this basic necessity.
He reminded that during the Muharram review meeting on June 19, 2025 — attended by the Deputy Commissioner Budgam and Minister for Jal Jeevan Mission, Javed Dar — assurances were given that the project would be started soon. “Till today, no work has been initiated. Why is the district administration silent?” he questioned.
Mehdi further alleged that the people of Budgam were being treated like “stepchildren,” pointing out that despite repeated promises, both the government and the local administration had failed to act. He urged Javed Dar to honor the commitments made in the meeting and ensure the timely start of the project in the interest of the people.
