SUNDERBANI, May 13: Member Parliament from Jammu-Poonch constituency and senior Congress leader Madan Lal Sharma asked the Panchayat members to link the people with social protection and development schemes as UPA Government has opened the gates of treasures, especially for J&K State.
Addressing a public gathering here today, the Congress MP said that Congress led Government has brought Food Security Bill in the Parliament by virtue of which around 70 % rural people and 50 % urban poor will get food on negligible price for all members of the family. This Bill, will certainly bring big relief for the poor people, he added.
Mr Sharma also demanded that the BADP grant should be enhanced as the present allocation is not enough even to cater to the basic amenities for the border population. He asked the officers to strictly follow the Government guidelines while making proposal and implementation of BADP schemes.

He said huge funds are being provided by the Centre on improving education standards, under SSA and RAMSA schemes to the State.
