Protesting against lack of facilities in the railway colony and dilapidated houses there, the Uttar Railway Majdoor Union (URMU) Doon chapter on Wednesday staged a demonstration at the railway station here. The employees alleged that the department turned a blind eye towards the problem.Addressing the protestors, Doon URMU president KK Saxena said, “Several houses in the colony are in a dilapidated state. They are not worth living. The department is paying no attention towards the situation, even though the officials have been apprised of the situation several times.”Saxena expressed anguish over unresponsive approach of the officials. He said that the officials were apprised of the status several times, but all efforts to find their response into the matter fell to deaf ears. He also drew attention towards the poor condition of the roads in the colony.“Roads are bumpy in the colony. It may lead to accidents. Roads require immediate repairing. The officials have been apprised of the situation several times. However, nothing has happened into the matter,” Saxena said, adding that it was the unresponsive approach of the officials that made them protest as their humble efforts to draw the attention towards the matter failed to bring any result.He demanded that street lights in the colony are non functional. Several pockets in the colony go under dark cover during night. The lights should be repaired. “The department should take efforts to remove the various problems in the colony. Street lights and roads should be repaired without delay,” Saxena said, adding that problems in the colony should be removed on top priority. |
