RAMNAGAR, June 23: R S Pathania, general secretary, Pradesh Youth Congress toured a number of villages and addressed series of public meetings at Palnu, Pathwar, Chigla Balota, Siameri, Mannal, Manwal and Thelay.
He fired a salvo on lackluster political leadership as well as slip-shod local administration for failing to channelise and properly develop natural resources and pilgrimage tourism sites in Ramnagar.
“It is biggest travesty of time and place that Kailash Kund flanking boundary of Ramnagar is originator of four main rivers – Tawi, Ujh, Neeru and Basanter, with all these rivers passing through Ramnagar, but not even a single hydel/irrigation project has ever been planned or conceived by anybody, particularly those who had been raising hollow claims of developing Ramnagar as a model constituency,” he said, adding that the potential of rich natural resources remains still untapped with the people living in these far-flung villages surviving over there on out-of-station labourer-ships as their small land-holdings are not sufficient enough to sustain their families.
He also sought tapping of tourism potential of the Majalta which was earlier known as ‘Pandava land’. He sought proper development, projection and creation of state-of-art tourism facilities at Devi Bani temple at Manwal, Akshardham temple at Ramnagar, Vasuki Nag Temples at Dudu, Basantgarh and Gandh Top, Narsingh temples at Ramnagar and Jansal, Aapshambu temples at Dalsar and Khoon, ancient Nag temple at Mansar, Jagannath temple at Thail, Pandava temples at Garh-Dhamma and Babay, Ambika Mata temple at Sundla and Chountara Mata, Bihana Choun, Merhada Mata, Gatolu Mata and Pingla Mata shrines.
Mr Pathania sought developing of Garh Samna Banj as a modal spot for snow-skiing. He also sought sanctioning of Gondola project in Dudu-Basantgarh.
Those who accompanied Pathania included Kuldip Singh, Mohan Lal, Sukh dev Singh, Jagmohan, Raj Kumar, Manzur Ahmed (all Sarpanchs), Capt Gopal Singh, Durga Das and others.
