JAMMU, Oct 23: Former Minister and Ex-MLA Jammu West, Sat Sharma (CA) kick started construction works for Shiva Multipurpose Community Hall at Janipur Colony.
The funds for construction of hall were sanctioned from the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) of former MLA during his tenure and the work was delayed due to code of conduct of elections and other reasons. It was taken up in hand soon after the process got cleared. The works will be executed under the supervision of JMC at an estimated cost of Rs 5.28 lakh.
Sharma was accompanied by Corporator, Ward 37, Sunita Gupta, JMC officials, local residents and political activists of the area.
Speaking on the occasion, Sat Sharma said that the hall once constructed can be used by the locals for many things. He said that earlier there was no proper accommodation for performing Ram Leela in the Ward but after the construction of hall, many things will be sorted out and there will be a proper place for performing such things which hold religious importance in our culture. He stated that besides that the locals can also use the same for performing other functions as well including small get together, meetings and that too at a very nominal price which can be afforded by everyone.
He also stated that many times there is no availability of places for performing rituals such as Rasam Pagri or Uthala which are considered to be an important aspect in Hindu culture and this hall will also cater to the needs of those as well.
Sunita Gupta lauded the efforts of former MLA and stated that by sanctioning the funds sanctioned for the hall former MLA has done a great job as there was no such type of place in the Ward which can be used by people for social functions etc. She also stated that whenever required , former MLA is always willing to help the needy in every way and that is why maximum amount was spent in Ward 37 of Jammu West Assembly segment which has made it a neat and clean Ward and infrastructure pertaining to everything is equipped with modern facilities.
Ward president, Sahil Gupta, Sangeeta Verma, Dr Sudershan Gupta, Ricky Gupta, Rajan, Vipan Gupta, Babu Ram, Vicky, Bittu Sharma, Ramesh Sharma, Meena Jamwal, Neeru Sehgal, Swaran Singh, Dr Gyan Singh, Surinder Bhasin, Kulbir Singh, Gill and several others were also present.
