JAMMU Mar 24 : BJP senior leader and MLC Vibodh Gupta today called on Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti and discussed various developmental projects for Rajouri with her. During this meeting, Vibodh appreciated the public outreach programmes of Mufti which has given common masses a chance to directly connect with the top leadership of the State.
He also complimented Mufti for giving due consideration to various development projects for Rajouri proposed by BJP delegation during her recent public durbar at Rajouri. He informed the CM that the work on the Circular Road, connecting Abdullah Bridge to Tariq Bridge via Anandpur Ashram is in full swing.
This is the result of liberal funding provided for this project and for strict directions by CM to complete this project in a set time frame. Vibodh also apprised the CM about the ongoing work on the Jogging track, community hall at Jawahar Nagar and various parking slots. At the same time, Vibodh also highlighted various other projects which need immediate funding for the overall development of Rajouri town.
He informed that Town Hall Clinic building in Rajouri is in bad shape and needs immediate renovation. He also demanded that a new bridge which connects old town Rajouri with new bus stand should also be constructed. Moreover, Vibodh proposed to the CM that the status of municipal committee of Rajouri needs to be upgraded to Municipal Council. Raising the issues of development of the nearby areas, Vibodh said that as per already issued administrative order the Dungi area has been declared as a tehsil but till now no Tehsildar has been posted to operationalize the same. He also demanded allocation of funds for Gandola project between DKG and Shadrasharief.
While raising the issue of contaminated water being supplied to the Rajouri town Vibodh said that this issue was also raised during her public darbar at Rajouri. Acting on this a detailed DPR to replace the old and damaged water supply pipes and other infrastructure has been prepared. For the complete implementation of this project an amount of Rs. 47 crore has been requested to be funded by ERA. Vibodh requested CM to take up this issue with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) so that this project can also be initiated on priority. This he said is very important as Rajouri town gets water from the same pipes which were laid in the city about 40 years back.
