SAMBA, June 12: A deputation of people of border area including Sarpanchs, ex-Sarpanchs, Panchs, Lambardars and local village people, led by Ch.Manmohan Singh president All India Jat Mahasabha met with ACR Samba Kulbhushan Khajuria, here, today in the presence of tehsildar Samba and Vijaypur and incharge Tehsildar of Displaced Families Relief Provision.
Ch.Manmohan Singh said that 1884 displaced families applied for the relief from the Government of which 1358 families received compensation of Rs.5.50 lakh each, while the files of remaining 526 families are still stuck in procedure. Ch.Manmohan informed ACR the difficulties which these families are facing and said that when they try to get their documents approved but some technicalities are imposed on the files which seems a deliberate attempt of the Revenue Department staff and the patwaris.
He said it is not the first time that he has received numerous complaints of dubious attitude of the Revenue Department staff in dealing with the files. For this he met with Divisional Commissioner too in the last week. ACR informed him that coming Saturday, the Department is organising a camp, in presence of Deputy Commissioner, Sushma Chauhan, to accelerate the process of files approval and they will try to complete documentation without any delay as soon as possible. He further said the files which won’t be completed on Saturday will be dealt with in the second Camp.
Ch.Manmohan Singh asked ACR about the status of the project of Protection Bund of Kamore Forward area. He said that the villages of Dugg, Barota, Rangoor, Ramgarh and other adjoining villages are in danger zone due to flood threat and work on these protection bunds need to be started soon along with the protection bund work on Chak-Dayala of Panchayat Pangdour Samba too. If the work is not completed and disaster falls upon these villages in the absence of disaster management provision, the losses will be huge.
