Excelsior Correspondent

RAMNAGAR, Feb 20:  MLA Ramnagar R S Pathania conducted a two-day tour of  Dudu- Basantgarh area  and inspected  public works and projects besides  taking a firsthand overview of the public issues related to drinking water, electricity, road connectivity, healthcare, education facilities etc.
Pathania directed line officers as well as  different departments to ensure maximum presence in far flung and neglected areas of Ramnagar. He further exhorted  the people to maintain better liaison with official machinery and try to get maximum benefits out of public welfare schemes and programmes.
While acceding to the decades-old, overweening demand of public of the area,  the MLA flagged off daily bus service from Basantgarh to Jammu. The said bus-service shall ply daily from Basantgarh to Jammu and Jammu to Basantgarh enabling the people as well as employees to avail of qualitative public transport facility.
While addressing a largely attended Janta Darbar  at Basantgarh, he called for connecting of Basantgarh-Khaned road to Macchedi/Lohai-Malhar in Kathua district and expediting work on Dudu to Kailash road thereby creating  an effective road-links for the peoples of three districts separated from each other by geographical barriers.
The people of the area demanded upgradation of PHC  Basantgarh to a full-fledged CHC. They also demanded a fresh CHC  at Dudu and allopathic dispensaries for Punara, and  Charri Bangla.
Pathania made a fervent appeal to the Chief Minister to initiate recruitment drives in Basantgarh, Khaned, Ponara, Pachound, Balota, Garh Samna Banj, Jophar and other far-flung areas of Ramnagar and Majalta tehsil. With a view to coping with the all-pervasive problem of unemployment in the area already stricken by vast terrain, hilly topography, militancy-infested conditions, administrative neglect and acute penury of the people living over there, Police recruitment drives are the need of the hour, he added.
The MLA  was accompanied by Shiv Charan, (Mandal Pardhan), Ajay Khajuria, Kewal Parihar, Pritam Chand, A R Wani Sarpanch, Manzur Ahmed Sarpanch, Tirath Ram Sarpanch, Yog Raj Sarpanch, Raj Kumar sarpanch, Jag Mohan Sarpanch, Farooq Ahmed Sarpanch, Mansukh Sarpanch, Ravinder, Rukum Din, Behari Lal, Dr Ram Nath and others.
