RS PURA, Mar 17: Stressing on people’s contribution in realizing development on ground, Taranjit Singh Tony, DDC member Suchetgarh today said that participatory role of public is significant in changing development profile of a constituency.
Tony was speaking after inspecting works of lanes-drains and a playground at village Baispur in Suchetgarh.
He said his focus will remain on harnessing the immense potential of the constituency in sports, economic upliftment and tourism.
“This cannot be achieved without continued pro-active support of the people, whose feedback has been hugely beneficial in taking up various issues with the concerned agencies,” he added.
The DDC member said that participation in sports can play an important and positive role in the health and development of children and youth.
