KISHTWAR, Sept 20: Former Minister and Congress MLA Inderwal G M Saroori today kick- started the Sirgwari-Keshwan road which was a long pending demand of the people of backward, remote area of district Kishtwar.
The 16 kilometres road project worth Rs 5.27 crore, which was left in the middle by contractor was later cancelled by the PMGSY Department and was re-tendered recently and today work has been started. Land holders of the area informed to the local MLA that Revenue officials have misguided the general public and have fixed the rate only Rs 0.25 lakhs per kanal.
Saroori said sanction of Rs.710 crore by Union Government for land compensation under PMGSY, would help in completion of road projects which were pending for want of compensation and on spot directed ACR Kishtwar to immediately revise the rates of land as it’s unacceptable. ACR Kishtwar assured MLA and general public that within 7 days process of revise of rates of land will be complete and compensation will be given to land holders as per rules.
The MLA also inspected various developmental projects and took stock of the pace of works being executed in the area. He has asked the administration to ensure timely completion of all developmental projects underway in Inderwal.
