RAMNAGAR, July 3: Ridiculing the slogans of ‘ good governance’ and “Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas” given by Central and State Govt, National Panthers Party chairman and former Minister Harshdev Singh has expressed grave concern over the pathetic plight of the people inhabiting the hilly and far flung areas of State.
The NPP leader who was on a three- day tour of remote belt of Dudu- Basantgarh, interacted with the people of various villages including Basantgarh, Loudra, Raichak, Kadwa, Khaned, Punara and Mang and took stock of the burning problems faced by the people of the area whom were left at the mercy of God not only by the local administration but by the “elected representatives” as well.
Addressing several meetings, Harshdev invited the attention of the Govt towards the multifarious problems of the people of this deprived area. Expressing concern over the Dudu and Basantgarh roads, NPP leader said that the PM’s Task Force had approved the up-gradation of the said road in 2012-13 for Rs 135 crore but regretted that no funds were released after 2014 when Rs 15 crore were incurred for widening of the road. He expressed grave concern over the gradual deterioration of the said road which catered to a population of more than 50,000 souls but had been completely neglected during the last two years.
He further expressed serious concern over the non- repair of several transformers besides extremely low voltage problem in the said areas. He said that the tenders for installation of new transformers besides HT/LT lines had been inordinately delayed by more than two years resulting in severe hardships to the people, particularly in the villages of Loudra, Khaned, Raichak, Kadwa, Punara and Mang. He regretted non utilization of the funds sanctioned during 2013-14 for electrification of backward hamlets of Basantgarh Block.
Accusing the CAPD officials of creating artificial scarcity of ration in the area, Mr Singh called for a thorough probe into the quantum of ration provided to Basantgarh Block by the Govt. He also strongly flayed the inordinate delay in the construction of Basantgarh-Khaned road.
