Villagers to boycott poll for denial of adequate civic facilities

Jaysukh Mehta,the president of the village youth association said: “In spite of our repeated plea,the village has not been provided with

adequate power supply,road facilities and other civil amenities.”

He said the state transport bus service is not available in the village. Though there is a well for drinking water supply,but no electric motor has been installed for pumping water. As such,the villagers have to rely on other options for their water supply needs.

He added that the Khakhara-Hadmatiya village has been a victim of political malice. “Since the last seven years we have been politically victimised and isolated. This has been done due to political malice. The government has failed to solve our problem,” he said.

He added that the villagers have now decided to boycott the polls and have also written a letter to the Junagadh district collector and the Bhesan taluka Mamalatdar in this regard.

The political leaders are seen here only during the polls,he said,adding,“We have informed the political leaders regarding our decision”.
