SUCHETGARH, Nov 21: Senior Congress leader and DDC Suchetgarh, Taranjit Singh Tony inaugurated the construction of a road from Kaloyan to RS Pura, today.
Speaking on the occasion, Tony reiterated his commitment to representing the interests of his constituency and vowed to hold departments accountable for any lapses in coordination with grassroots representatives.
He said, “Several road projects are in pipeline and the same will be taken up in a phased manner in near future in RS Pura.”
Tony also expressed his disappointment with SKUAST University, which recently hosted a significant function attended by the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister, but failed to invite local DDC members.
“DDCs serve as the bridge between the administration and the people, excluding them from such functions is not only disrespectful but also undermines the essence of grassroots democracy,” he said.
“By neglecting to invite the local DDCs, SKUAST has sidelined the voices of the very people it seeks to serve. This is unacceptable and needs immediate rectification,” Tony remarked.
“Departments must recognize the importance of involving DDC representatives who have an in-depth understanding of ground realities. This will not only strengthen governance but also foster greater public trust,” he added.
The senior Congress leader appealed to the Chief Minister to issue clear instructions to all departments to ensure the inclusion of local DDCs in future official events.
