A deputation of prominent citizens from JMC Ward Numbers 35, 36 and 37, led by former Councillor, JMC Ward No. 35, and Chairman, Swachh Bharat Committee, JMC Jammu, Yash Paul Sharma (Mantoo), called upon Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and President, J&K Bharatiya Janata Party, Sat Sharma, at the party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.
The deputation submitted a memorandum seeking the establishment of a full-fledged Indoor Stadium at Patoli Magotrian (Patoli Chowk) for the benefit of youth and the general public.
Responding to the concerns raised, Sat Sharma assured the deputation that the BJP remains sensitive to genuine public aspirations, especially those connected with youth welfare and social upliftment. He stated that the constructive demands aimed at youth engagement, sports promotion and positive social development deserve careful and sympathetic consideration. He said that the proposal for an Indoor Stadium at Patoli Magotrian reflects a forward-looking vision of the local population. He added that the matter will be examined seriously and taken up with the concerned authorities at the appropriate level, keeping public interest and feasibility in view. He further reiterated that BJP’s politics is rooted in service, dialogue and sustained advocacy for people-centric development.
The deputation explained that during the ‘Public Samvad’ programme organized by JMC at Bharat Mata Park, Patoli Morh, representatives from five adjoining wards collectively proposed the utilization of available JMC land at Patoli Chowk for an Indoor Stadium. It was highlighted that the land, earlier a dried-up natural pond and later prone to dumping and encroachment, has now been properly fenced by JMC and stands recorded as Banjar Qadeem in revenue records. The deputation stressed that establishing an Indoor Stadium at this centrally located site, surrounded by 8 to 10 JMC wards would provide year-round sports facilities, curb drug abuse, prevent youth from drifting towards social evils, and serve lakhs of residents.
Supplementing the deputation, Yash Paul Sharma (Mantoo) expressed gratitude to the BJP leadership for its consistent accessibility and responsive attitude. He thanked Sat Sharma for patiently hearing the memorandum and giving a reassuring response. Sharma said the BJP has always stood with public causes, especially those concerning youth, cleanliness, discipline and social reform, and expressed hope that the proposal would be pursued sincerely in larger public interest.
Yashpaul Sharma, was accompanied by Sandesh Dogra, Balbir Singh, Arun Bamzai, Vijay Kumar Khanna, Shashi Bushan Kotwal, Sanjay Badam, Rajesh Sharma, Uttam Singh Langeh, Rinku Bamotra and others.
