Reiterates demands for fire tender deployment at Taisuru and early functioning of District Jail Kargil
Kargil/Leh, Sept 18:
Former Executive Councillor of LAHDC Kargil, Syed Abbas Razvi, once again reiterated two key public demands during his meeting with Dr. S.D. Singh Jamwal, IPS, Additional Director General of Police, UT Ladakh, at the ADGP’s office in Leh.
Razvi had first raised these issues during the ADGP’s visit to Kargil in August this year. The demands pertain to the urgent deployment of a fire tender vehicle at Police Station Taisuru and the immediate operationalization of the District Jail Kargil at Khumbathang.
Highlighting the vulnerability of Taisuru in fire-related emergencies, Razvi said that the absence of a nearby fire station exposes the local population to grave risks. He recalled that ADGP Jamwal had already assured, in principle, to provide a fire tender from Police Headquarters for deployment at Taisuru, which would safeguard lives and property in the area.
On the issue of the District Jail, Razvi underlined that although the Khumbathang facility is fully complete, it remains non-functional, compelling inmates from Kargil to be kept in District Jail Leh. This, he stressed, has placed immense hardship on their families, who are forced to undertake long and difficult journeys to meet them.
After listening attentively to these concerns, ADGP Dr. Jamwal assured that sincere efforts would be made to address the issues and fulfill the demands to provide relief to the people of Kargil.
