JAMMU, June 29: Senior Advocate, Mohinder Bhardwaj while addressing a largely attended meeting of prominent Congress workers and citizen of Bishnah Legislative Assembly Constituency has said that Bishnah being the artery of Jammu city needs to be developed as a satellite town for which a comprehensive plan should be conceived with a focus on agro-economy to develop its large swath of rural areas.
Bhardwaj expressed concern that despite its proximity to Jammu, Bishnah has remained neglected during two successive tenures of its elected representative in the past. Time has come to build pressure on the State Government to take up this project on priority basis, he added.
In fact, Bishnah should be developed in such a manner so as to become a model for future development of towns around Jammu on the lines of National Capital Region of Delhi. Such a move will benefit people of not only Bishnah and adjoining areas but the entire Jammu zone, he said.
Offering his wholehearted support and services to the people of Bishnah in this endeavour to develop it into a model township, he said such a project will automatically generate more employment opportunities away from the Government sector and help tide over the serious problem of unemployment being faced by the youth in the area.
Speaking on the occasion, senior Congress leader of Bishnah, Ashok Dubey moved political resolutions supporting the plan suggested by Bhardwaj for overall development of Bishnah. He also moved resolutions for uninterrupted supply of power, drinking water, uninterrupted supply of water through Ranbir Canal for irrigation purpose in view of the ongoing paddy season, immediate repairs and black topping of the roads which are in dilapidated condition, which were unanimously passed by the participants who attended the meeting.
