Dr Jitendra holds ‘Public Durbar’ at Hiranagar

Hiranagar, March 26: Continuing with his initiative to hold district administration meetings outside the district headquarter, Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh Sunday held “Public Durbar” at Hiranagar in presence of administrative heads and PRIs.
According to a statement issued by the minister, a number of issues were taken up on the spot, particularly pertaining to Delhi-Katra Express Highway under construction including land compensation, status of proposed Arun Jaitley Stadium, facilities provided for people living along the Zero line of International Border etc.
Dr Singh said bringing governance at the doorsteps of the people, to the last man in the last queue is possible only under Prime Minister Narendra Modi whose endeavor has been to address the people’s issues on the spot through ‘Public Darbars’ with district administration.
During the ‘Public Darbar’ with district administration, Dr. Jitendra Singh said the governance cannot be restricted to the district headquarters only and a departure from this practice was necessary as has been done at Ramnagar in order to listen to the people’s issues directly so that the same could be addressed on the spot with district administration.
Dr. Singh said it is for the first time after twenty years that hundreds of acres of border land has been brought under cultivation bringing back the lost smiles on the faces of border dwellers in Kathua which has been possible only under the present government which believes on the mantra ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ under PM Narendra Modi.
Enumerating the various development works done in Kathua, Dr. Singh said Kathua is now considered as the role model of development in the country as North India’s first biotech park, revival of Shahpur-Kandi project after 40 years, North India’s first ever Cable-Stayed Bridge Atal Setu, J&K’s first inter-State bridge at Keerian-Gandyal, North India’s first Express Road Corridor from Delhi to Katra via Kathua, the new National Highway from Lakhanpur-Bani-Basohli-Doda via Chattargala Tunnel, the mega quintal seed processing plants helping in doubling farmers income besides centrally funded Government Medical College, Centrally Funded Engineering Colleges, Degree Colleges etc., have made Kathua the epitome of development in the country.
