Mohalla Kamsar: So Close to Power, Yet Left in Darkness

Just a few steps from the residence of MLA Haveli, Ajaz Jan, lies Mohalla Kamsar, a colony that expected transformation, not neglect. People believed change would come, especially because the MLA’s father also once held the same seat. But today, residents feel cheated.

Most of the mohalla lies on the hills. There are no proper roads, no street lights, no clean water, and no waste management. Electricity is still hanging on trees, and wires run dangerously across rooftops. Yet every time people raise their voice, they’re given more promises, empty and forgotten.

Before elections, and even during the LG rule, top officials like the DC, XEN, and Tehsildar visited. Surveys were done. Assurances were given. But the moment cameras turned off, the system went silent. The problems were never fixed, just filed away.

When elections came, leaders from every major party walked through this area. They smiled, clicked pictures, and said Kamsar is a “priority.” But once they got what they wanted,votes, they disappeared. The people are left behind in dust and silence.

What crime did the residents of Kamsar commit? They built homes with their own hard work. They stayed peaceful. They believed in the system. But instead of rewards, they got isolation. No action. No answers.

Where are the promises now? Where are the road plans? Where is the waste disposal system? Why are children walking on muddy slopes in the dark? Why is this colony still waiting?

The biggest pain is that this mohalla is so close to power. The MLA lives just a stone’s throw away. Yet nothing has improved. His father also made the same promises and now, his son is repeating history.

This is not just about Kamsar anymore. This is about justice. About dignity. About the right to live with basic facilities. When neighbors of leaders suffer like this, what hope can distant villages have?

The people of Kamsar are tired of waiting. This time, they won’t be fooled by more speeches or fake visits. They want work, real, visible work. No more silence. No more excuses.
