JAMMU, Mar 28: Former Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta today asserted for fair and timely compensation for acquired lands.
It was stated by him during conducting the grievance redressal at BJP Headquarter Jammu. He was canvassing for land compensation for people affected by 4th Tawi Bridge. “Award was passed in 2011 but people are still bereft of compensation,” he said.
He was further dealing with land compensation cases of far flung areas where lands have been acquired since decades and a penny worth received by people as yet. He further focused on new techniques and best practices as to how we could redress the public issues in a more efficacious way.
Ranbir Singh Pathania, J&K BJP spokesperson called for reaching out to the last man in the last row while dealing with day to day issues of the people. “We need to ensure that people and rather ‘last man in last row’ gets best out of these schemes/ initiatives,” he asserted.
A multi crore road from Dudu-Kirchi to Dhar Seoj was proposed and sanctioned under PMGSY. The work on the same was also started almost five years back but the same could not be taken up due to some ecological concerns raised by the Department of Forests, he said.
Now that the Department of PMGSY in liaison with the Department of Forests has identified an alternative location which lessens the length of the road by as many as five kilometers and as many as 500 trees also could be saved but the project still hangs midway, Pathania said.
Amongst other general issues pertaining to land encroachments, compassionate appointments, verifications, ex-gratia to accident victims, relief to cross-firing victims, proper convening of Gram Sabhas in Pulwama, drinking water, building permissions, staff shortage, proper voltage electricity, NABARD roads were projected by a number of deputations during the camp.
The BJP leaders also expressed displeasure regarding appointment of selected Junior Statistical Assistants (JSAs). Moreover, the deputation of Rehbar-e-Janglats and NYCs also raised their issues during grievance redressal at BJP Headquarter.
