JAMMU, Nov 23: To ensure fulfilment of basic needs of residents of Jammu West Assembly Segment, BJP State president and MLA, Sat Sharma (CA) kick started construction works for community hall at Shiv Mandir and Lane Number 29 at Rajpura Magotrian. The area falls between two wards namely Ward 24 and Ward 29 and the hall which is going to be constructed will cope up with the needs of both wards and other adjoining areas.
Besides, the works for laying of new water pipes in the area were also started by the BJP president which will provide a major relief to the locals as earlier there was shortage of water supply in the area. A large number of people including officials of JMC, PHE, local residents and political activists were also present.
The funds for works of community hall have been sanctioned by Sat Sharma from his CDF Constituency Develop-ment Fund (CDF) scheme and an amount of Rs 8 lakh have been sanctioned for the same and works will be constructed under the supervision of JMC Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC). Also the works of pipes will be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 6 lakh which will be done under the supervision of PHE Department.
Speaking on the occasion, Sat Sharma said that construction of hall was a long pending demand in Shiv Mandir and a large number of female devotees from the area met him sometime back and apprised him of the need of a hall in temple which was a long pending demand for the locals as there was no proper place in the area where people could gather at one place at times of happiness and sadness so keeping in view their demand, the work had to be taken up.
Sat stated that with the help of PHE Department, new pipes will also be laid down in the area so that acute shortage of water supply could be overcome and residents could get uninterrupted water supply.
He also visited the nullah site in the area as well and directed the officials of UEED as well to prepare estimates for the covering of nullah so that a major contribution could be given in promoting the vision of the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi who always stresses of building a Clean and Green nation.
