Jammu, June 01: BJP spokesperson Ranbir Singh Pathania on Thursday announced that the decades-old demand of the people of Majalta is going to be fulfilled as a bridge from Majalta More to Majalta across Gambhir Nallah is going to be formally sanctioned under NABARD this year.
While addressing party cadres at the Community Hall, Majalta, Pathania said the bridge is estimated to be constructed at the cost of Rs 17 crore. He said that immediately after being elected as the legislator of the area, he piloted a full-fledged decision on July 02, 2014, in the first cabinet and district development board meeting at Udhampur.
“Nonetheless, the bridge could not be completed in the CRF due to one reason or the other. But now, when NABARD has already initiated the process to accommodate pending/languishing bridges, this bridge has been projected as a priority,” he said. “With this bridge, almost the entire population of tehsil Majalta will find it easier to approach the tehsil, revenue, police, bank, social welfare, cooperatives, court, PWD and other allied offices at Majalta.”
The BJP spokesperson also expressed displeasure over the snail’s pace of work on GDC Majalta, saying the college was sanctioned as the first degree college of the BJP-PDP coalition in J&K
“Earlier, the college work could not be started due to certain litigations. Now that almost a year has elapsed since the work was allotted to the contractor agency, less than 25 percent of work has been completed,” he said and called upon the executing agency as well as the monitoring department to ensure that a fully equipped building for GDC Majalta at the earliest. The quality and pursuit of time limits should be the essence of executing developmental works, he added.
Pathania further sensitised the people for observing “9 Sal Bemisal” Karyakram of the BJP, wherein the achievements and various policies/programmes are being popularised by the party cadres across the country. “We need to act as harbingers of policies and programmes of Modi Sarkar and all such people who are still bereft of the revolutionary, path-breaking initiatives of Modi Sarkar need to be roped in and benefitted out of it,” he said.
