‘Dual’ control governance creating confusion in J&K: JKPCC Chief

Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Chief, Tariq Hameed Karra on Wednesday voiced strong criticism over the ‘dual control system’ in Jammu and Kashmir, terming it a source of ‘confusion and inefficiency’.
Talking to reporters Karra said that the lack of clarity was harming both the democratic framework and the people of the region.
“The dual control system, which lacks proper business rules, is creating confusion in both political and administrative setups. The first casualty of this system is the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” the JKPCC Chief said.
He urged ‘stakeholders’ at the helm of affairs to address the issue to prevent further erosion of public trust in governance.
Highlighting the contradictions in the government’s approach, he pointed out, “On one hand, they claim militancy is under control, but on the other, the region continues to witness sustained attacks, especially in Jammu. This exposes the contradictory stand of the administration.”
The JKPCC leader also highlighted the delay in releasing salaries and the Constituency Development Fund (CDF). “Our salaries have been released, but the CDF remains pending. Without it, addressing the needs of the people is challenging,” he said.
The JKPCC Chief called for an immediate formulation of business rules to eliminate the confusion stemming from dual governance in J&K
