Saroori seeks immediate rehabilitation of landslide threat victim at Pattan Nali Bunjwah


Power department failed to allot work 100 crores RGGVY Phase II project even after three years

Demanding de-notifying of Municipal Committee Thathri to Panchayat Thathri by BJP is very unfortunate and shameful

JAMMU, JANUARY 27: As soon as the Assembly proceeding start today Congress Member of Legislative Assembly from Inderwal Ghulam Mohammad Saroori raised the issue of threat of huge landslide at Pattan Nali area of tehsil Bunjwah in district Kishtwar.

Saroori said if immediate steps are not being taken by the Government it will damage dozen of residential houses due to threat to landslides. He asked the government to immediately shift people to safer areas where there are apprehensions of landslides so that these families will not face any hardships. Speaker J&K Kavinder Gupta directed the government to look in the matter and rehabilitate them at an earliest.

While speaking during Power department grants, Saroori lamented the government for failing to provide electricity to the consumers of the state especially to the erstwhile Doda district during the winter season.

Sorting explanation from the Deputy CM who also happens to be the Power Minister, Saroori asked as to why government has miserably failed in allotting work under RGGVY phase II project in Chenab Valley and the Rs. 100 crores project sanctioned for the electrification work by the efforts of Ghulam Nabi Azad are hanging in balance due to lackadaisical attitude of J&K government towards residents of Chenab Valley.

"As to why government has failed in starting work on prestigious Rattle Hydroelectric Project (HEP), work which was abandoned by the BJP goons three years back", Saroori asked DY CM and stated that if GVK is not willing to restart the work on the prestigious project then the company should be blacklisted and afresh tenders should be floated so that locals could be adjusted and more possibilities of generating electricity could be explored so that our economy will be improved.

Saroori was astonished to know about non-approval of Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) Plan of various power projects coming up in Chenab Valley basin which include Dunadi, Rattle, Karthai, Pakal Dool and other projects and demanded early approval of R&R plan so that the families which are going to be displaced could be rehabilitated properly besides this local development could take place.

He asked the Minister for early tendering and allotting the mini power projects 1 to 10 MW of district Kishtwar and Doda to contractors so that possibilities of taping the potential energy be generate and people living in far flung villages of Kishtwar and Doda districts could be able to see the power which is still a distant dream for them. He demanded early sanctioning of receiving stations at Chatroo, Bunjwah and Kahara areas of Inderwal constituency.

During Housing and Urban development department grants, Saroori lamented on BJP Minister and legislators from Doda for demanding the de-notifying of Municipal Committee Thathri to Panchayat Thathri.

“We are just pinning hope on government that it will make such a decision which should be in favour of our people and for the betterment, progress for our area but unfortunately your decisions are making us feel that you are ultimately derailing us towards the backward era. Even the people are not happy and they came on the road for protest”, Saroori said and asked the government to clear the stand on this matter.

Saroori have also raised many issues including early construction of colonies for residential purpose in favour of media persons and allotment of plots in favour of MLAS at Jammu and Srinagar, early conduct of local bodies in the state, construction of bus stand at Thathri as decided during DDB meeting which was chaired by Late Mufti Sayeed, early completion of slab work over the Nallah at Thatri which is becoming breeding ground for diseases, construction of shopping complex at Thathri from revenue component, Engagement of sweepers in MAC Thatri, release of wages in favor already engaged casual labors and FSL lights in MAC thatri.
