Ganderbal : The inhabitants of Tehsil Tullamulla in Central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district have accused the government of failing to fulfill their demand of establishing a fire and emergency service station in the area. “We have been urging the government from the last several years to establish a fire station in the area, but nothing substantial has been done so far,” the residents said.
Famous in the four corners of the world because of Temple of Mata Khirbhawani, Shrine of Hazrat Mir Baba Hyder (RAH) , being Tehsil Headquarter, having Central University of Kashmir, being largest village in district Ganderbal and being Tourist village, Tullamulla village doest not have a fire service station, said Civil Society Tullamulla Chairman Manzoor Ahmad Wani.
As per the News Agency Current News of India (CNI) He further said despite several pleas and assurances over the years, the absence of a fire and emergency service station in Tullamulla has left the residents vulnerable to disastrous situations creating a sense of insecurity among them.
Tullamulla located in a densely populated area is prone to various fire-related incidents. The lack of a nearby fire station has resulted in delayed response times from neighboring areas putting lives and properties at risk. In the past when fires broke out residents had to rely on local resources such as water bodies and rudimentary firefighting equipment which often proved inadequate. The villagers have continuously voiced their concerns highlighting the urgency of having a dedicated fire and emergency service station in their vicinity.
Despite numerous promises made by the government and local authorities no concrete steps have been taken to establish a fire station in Tullamulla. The lack of prioritization and allocation of funds for this critical need has left the residents feeling neglected and abandoned by the authorities.
The residents of Tullamulla are urging the government to take immediate action and fulfill their long-standing demand for a fire and emergency service station. They believe that having a dedicated station with trained firefighters and modern equipment will not only provide them with a sense of security but also ensure a swift response during emergencies.
Additionally the establishment of a fire station in Tullamulla would contribute to the overall safety and well-being of the entire Tehsil. It would not only prevent the loss of lives and properties but also serve as a crucial support system during natural disasters and other emergencies.
The residents of Tullamulla hope that their voices will finally be heard and the authorities will expedite the process of establishing a fire and emergency service station in their village. They believe that this essential service is long overdue and can no longer be ignored. The safety and security of the residents should be paramount and the presence of a fire station will undoubtedly provide them with the necessary protection they deserve.(CNI) Current News of India
