JAMMU, Apr 16: Congress leader Vikas Dutt toured far- flung border village Kool Khurd near Arnia and listened to the problems of the villagers who are suffering immensely due to negligence of the Government.
While interacting with the people, Dutt alleged that people are deprived of basic necessities and other much needed facilities. He said Kool Khurd is the only farming village, which don’t have any irrigation facility and farmers are dependent only on electricity to run motors and the transformer installed is of 100KVA which does not give them enough load to get irrigation water and cultivate their lands. They require minimum 200 KVA transformer to do so.
He pointed out that this village has two roads which are not being maintained since many years; one road is from Primary School Kool Khurd to Shamshan Ghat and the other is from main road connecting the village.
The prominent among those present included Raj Pal Saini, Puran Chand, Rajinder Singh, Kamal Singh, Amar Singh, Kuldeep Magotra, Roshan Singh and Balwant Singh.
Dutt assured the villagers that the matter will be bought into the notice of administration and the officers concerned and measures will be taken to start work on the same.
