JAMMU, Dec 11: Member Legislative Council (MLC), Ch. Vikram Randhawa, today laid foundation of a community hall at Chatha in Gandhi Nagar Assembly segment.
Despite heavy rain Randhawa today reached Nath Colony, Shamali Mohalla, Chatha in Gandhi Nagar Assembly segment to lay the foundation of a community hall in the Dalit Colony.
While speaking on the occasion Randhawa said that he is committed to carry forward the slogan of the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi ‘Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas’ to the doorsteps of the people so that the areas which were ignored by the previous regimes and leaders can be developed on priority. He said that as the residents of the colony who in majority belong to the down trodden section of the society have demanded construction of a community hall as there is no place for them to organize small functions nor the people have enough money to hire banquet halls for marriages and other functions.
The construction of this community hall will provide the people a place to organize small functions and further will save their savings which can lead to uplift their lives, Randhawa added.
He said that responding to their demand a piece of land was identified and today foundation for the community hall has been laid. For this purpose an amount of Rs five lakh has been sanctioned from the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) of the MLC. Randhawa said that he is ready to provide more funds for the completion of the hall if required.
Randhawa also announced to release another Rs 3.5 lakh for the construction of lane which has never been constructed by any of the Government in the past. The demand was raised by the people after foundation laying ceremony responding to which MLC immediately announced to sanction funds. He said that the work on the same would be started soon.
