RAMNAGAR, May 5: Ranbir Singh Pathania, Spokesperson J&K BJP and former MLA, called for immediate refurishment of Roun-Ramnagar road, which acts as lifeline for lakhs of people and with every passing day its condition is deteriorating and turning into a vicious death-trap.
While addressing a series of pubic interactions as well as monthly meeting of party cadres, Pathania reminded the Governor-led administration of the funds committed by the Government on the floor of Assembly during debate on a Call Attention Motion moved by him. Although a year and a half has expired since the making of commitment, tangible action is yet to emerge on the ground, he added.
Pathania also reminded that he had raised Roun-Ramnagar road issue vociferously during the then Chief Minister-led DDB meeting at Udhampur for conducting a high level enquiry to spell out the reasons for not adhering to the realignment and refurbishment plan of this road.
“A clear and categoric decision had been reached at in the DDB setting tone for formulation of an inquiry committee vis-a-vis a commitment to provide requisite funds for repair and refurbishment of this road. And fact remains that neither inquiry was conducted conscientiously nor funds were provided for refurbishment of the road,” he said and reiterated demand for high level judicial probe in bungling of funds on said road.
Mr Pathania further said that there is urgent need for construction of circular road from Udhampur-Ramnagar-Dudu-Basantgarh-Chenani-Udhampur to harness the vast tourism potential of the area.
Mr Pathania further called upon the PWD authorities to take up the repair and refurbishment of Ramnagar city roads, Ramnagar-Gundhian, Degree College road and Badakh-Bodoi, Kirmoo-Plassan, Bhughtrain-Hansa, Khurkhal, Tagan-Bari roads which require immediate focus of the department.
Rajinder Sharma, president Ramnagar BJP, also spoke on the occasion and highlighted the achievements of Mr Pathania as then MLA.
Among others, who spoke on the occasion, included Sham Lal , Makhan Lal, Master Gopal, Shounku Kharka, Kartar Chand, Tilak Raj, Shounku Ram, Jagmohan Singh, Sunil Sharma and others.
