RAMNAGAR, Oct 16: Ridiculing the slogans of `good governance’ and “Achhe Din” given by Central and State Govt, NPP chairman Harsh Dev Singh has expressed grave concern over the pathetic plight of the people inhabiting the hilly and far flung areas of the State.
Singh who was on a two days tour of remote belts of Dudu-Basantgarh interacted with the people of various villages including Loudra, Raichak, Kadwa, Khaned, Punara, Mang etc. He took stock of the burning problems faced by the people. Castigating the Central and State BJP leaders, who had flown in choppers to the said remote areas during elections and promised to ameliorate their lot, had failed to ensure them even the provision of basic facilities.
Sharing the concern of the remote area public, regretted that the mandated leaders had utterly failed in coming up to their expectations and even in projecting their sufferings. These leaders had left them in lurch with total disregard for their woes and miseries. He said that rather than fighting for the woes of common man and ensuring justice to the daily wagers, SPOs, RETs, MNREGA and NHM employees, contractual and academic arrangement lecturers, temporary teachers etc, the MLAs showed more concern for enhancement of their own salaries, perks, plots, CDF and powers.
Expressing concern over the Dudu and Basantgarh roads, Singh said that the PM’S Task Force had approved the up-gradation of the said road in 2012-13 for Rs 135 crore but regretted that no funds were released after 2014 when Rs 15 crore were incurred for widening of the road. He expressed grave concern over the gradual deterioration of the said road which catered to a population of more than 50,000 souls but had been completely neglected during the last two years.
He further expressed serious concern over the non- repairs of several transformers besides extremely low voltage problem in the said areas. He said that the tenders for installation of new transformers besides HT/LT lines had been inordinately delayed by more than three years resulting in severe hardships to the people, particularly in the villages of Loudra, Khaned, Raichak, Kadwa, Punara, Mang, Pachound, Majori, Chhattrairi etc. He regretted non- utilization of the funds sanctioned during 2013-14 for electrification of backward hamlets of Basantgarh block. He also expressed grave concern over the acute deficiency of teaching staff in various schools of Dudu-Basantgarh area shortage of ration.
