Delhi wants Tunnel to Chenab Valley funded by Japan: Saroori

 
 
 
Avail benefits of various schemes launched in the area

Kishtwar, November 13: - Union government has agreed to the state proposal for having a tunnel to connect the Chenab Valley with Srinagar and is exploring the possibility of funding it through Japan International Corporation Agency.

This was said by Congress Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Inderwal, G. M Saroori today while touring to Mugalmaidan, Chatroo and Singpora areas of Sub-division Chatroo in district Kishtwar.

Saroori said that from years together there is a hue and cry for the betterment of road in our Chenab valley especially (Batote-Kishtwar, Kishtwar-Sinthan). Every day we are facing a tragic nightmare and losing a precious life, the way we are hearing about the development of road in other state, but in our case we have to eat humble pie where roads are merely turned into the death trap

He said that the tunnel between Singpora (Chatroo Kishtwar) and Vailoo (Kokernag) would reduce the distance from 50 kms to 5.50 kms and make the Kokernag-Kishtwar road accessible throughout the year.

En-route to tunnel point of Singpora Chatroo-Vailoo, various deputations and individuals met with MLA Saroori and apprised him about the problems being confronted to them. The locals projected various demands which include electricity for un-electrified villages, better drinking water facility, early payment of MGNREGA job card holders for the year 2014-15 and early completion of uncompleted roads. Responding to the demands Saroori issued on-the-spot directions to the officers accompanied to him, for attending to them on priority and their early redressal regarding supply of drinking water and roads issues. Regarding MGNREGA payment, Saroori assured the job card holders that by ending December 2014-15 MGNREGA liabilities will be cleared in Inderwal constituency and said that the liability of 2013-14 is already cleared by the department few days back.

Saroori said all the un-electrified villages of Inderwal constituency will get electricity under RGGVY phase II schemes. The scheme is sanctioned by UPA II and Rs 100 crores stands sanctioned for the said schemes but from the last one year the PDP-BJP government failed to give the work to any contractor. He said during last Assembly session the government has assured that within two months either government will give contract to any contractor or Power development corporation will do the work by themselves.

Priority is also given to the supply of safe drinking water, road connectivity and power supply to hamlets and villages uncovered till date so that the people living in these areas are provided with basic amenities. He also directed Tehsil Supply Officer Chatroo for ensuring adequate supply of ration in Sigdi, Kuchal, Passarkote, Mugalmaidan, Chatroo, Chingam, Dadpeth, Tagood, Durbeel and other adjoining areas for the convenience of the people of the area.

Saroori also briefed the people about the various schemes and stressed upon the people to come forward for availing the benefits of various schemes launched by social welfare department, labour department, RDD department and other departments in the area.
