Congress holds protest march against PDP-BJP govt in Jammu
Kishtwar November 09: A meeting regarding the Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (RR) Plan of 48 Megawatt lower Kalnai HEP was chaired by the Deputy Commissioner Kishtwar G.N Balwan at old DC Complex Kishtwar.
The threadbare discussions were held regarding the RR Plan prepared by Chief Project Manager JKPDC and represented by Executive Engineer Lower Kalnai JKPDC.
Balwan directed Executive Engineer JKPDC to hold meeting with the land owners whose land have been acquired for the project and look into their genuine demands. He directed the concerned XEn to prepare the RR Plan on the pattern of Rattle HEPP Drabshalla keeping in view of the demands of land owners. DDC Kishtwar further directed SDM Thathri to look into the genuine demands of the people regarding their issues and forward the same for the further submission to higher authorities.
MLA Inderwal Ghulam Mohammad Saroori executive member for the implementation of the said RR Plan said that plan should stick to its guidelines and its first priority should be given job to unemployed youth and added that Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (RR) Plan should be implemented in totality which includes construction of schools, roads and several other welfare initiatives so that common people may get benefited.
Saroori recommended reframing the existing rates of the land, so that the people who had donated their land for the project may get their genuine rates under rules.
In response to the demand of public regarding the jobs for land donors, Executive Engineer JKPDC replied that there is no such provision for giving permanent employment to the project affected families to JKPDC. However during the construction of the project the preference will be given to project affected families by the Contractors. He further clarified that the land needed for the construction of project is already been acquired and no further land can be acquired at this stage.
