This week Radio News Work’s (RNN) team went to Murree Tehsil and did a live broadcast of Suno Moto from UC 59.The team spoke with some local residents who highlighted the issues confronting them like scarcity of water, lack of facilities for higher education, poor roads and non-availability of natural gas. Participating in the program Mr.Rehan Afzal, who runs a tourist resort, in the Khajot area, said that due to less-than-usual snowfall and rains natural springs are dry and water table has sunk down. This has had a negative impact on tourism and environment as well. The Punjab Teachers Union Tehsil Murree chair, Tahir Ayaz Abbasi, talked about environmental issues caused by construction of roads, over population, deforestation and stone crushing. He said the development process carried so far has proved unsustainable while health and education infrastructure has not been upgraded. Mr. Ashfaq Abbasi, head teacher of a local school bemoaned the fact that there was no high school in their area despite the fact that the population of Khajot has reached up to 10,000.The girls in the village have no opportunities for higher education. The only primary school in the area was set up by the British and no new schools were built after the 1947 independence.
The Union Council Chairman (Murree UC 5), Umar Farooq Satti, informed the listeners that a project to provide natural gas to the resident of Murree was underway for the provision of natural gas that would help prevent deforestation in the area. Mr. Satti said that unless local governments are provided powers vis-à-vis provision of education and health opportunities, no improvement in the lives of people is possible.
