Who, What, When, Where, Why: Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma met Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on September 16, 2025, in Srinagar to address pressing matters affecting Jammu and Kashmir.
Critical Issues Discussed in Srinagar Meeting
Srinagar is facing a severe crisis as natural calamities have left many residents struggling. During this meeting, Sunil Sharma raised several critical issues impacting the daily lives of people in Jammu and Kashmir.
First on the agenda was road connectivity. Many villages are cut off due to landslides and floods, which hampers public movement and access to essential services.
Concerns Over Power and Water Supply
Sharma highlighted the acute shortages in power supply and water supply, particularly in flood-hit areas. He insisted that the administration should work swiftly to restore services that are fundamental to everyday life.
“Many families are facing hardships due to electricity cuts and irregular drinking water facilities,” Sharma mentioned. He urged a rapid response to these issues, emphasizing the need for improved infrastructure in the affected regions.
Flood Relief Allocation Needs Increase
The conversation shifted to flood relief efforts. “The current allocation for families who have lost their homes is inadequate,” Sharma pointed out, calling for increased financial support to help rebuild lives.
The Leader of Opposition emphasized that families affected by the floods deserve sufficient assistance to ensure they can recover with dignity. Many homes, either partially or completely destroyed, are awaiting proper support from the government.
Impact on Competitive Examinations
Sunil Sharma also addressed the issue surrounding the postponement of competitive examinations, particularly the JKPSC Lecturer recruitment and Munsiff examinations. “Due to poor connectivity and flood conditions, many aspirants cannot reach examination centres or prepare effectively,” he stated.
He urged the administration to consider rescheduling these exams to ensure fairness for all candidates. Sharma’s plea for equity highlights the educational setbacks caused by ongoing infrastructure issues.
LG Manoj Sinha Responds Positively
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha listened carefully to the issues raised by Sharma. He assured him that these matters will be treated with priority to ensure timely resolutions.
“It’s refreshing to see a leader who truly cares about the concerns of his constituents,” Sinha replied. His positive response may encourage further collaboration between the government and opposition leaders for the benefit of Jammu and Kashmir.
In conclusion, Sunil Sharma expressed his gratitude for the constructive dialogue. He reaffirmed, “As Leader of Opposition, it is my duty to be the voice of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. I will continue to raise their concerns with full sincerity and commitment.”
This meeting marks a crucial step in addressing the pressing issues faced by communities across Jammu and Kashmir, emphasizing the importance of leadership in times of crisis as the region recovers from recent calamities.
