| Mufti seeks share from Ranjit Sagar Dam | | | Early Times Report
Mahanpur (Bas-holi), Oct 7: Patron of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today asserted that his party would vociferously take up the issue of delay in getting due share of the State from the Ranjit Sagar Dam.
He said that PDP would also take up the issue of delay in completion of Shahpur Kandi Project with Government of India and concerned quarters.
Addressing an
impressive public meeting organized by Thakur Balbir Singh, general secretary of PDP at Mahanpur area of Basholi Assembly segment, Sayeed expressed his concern over delay in proper implementation of Inter-State bilateral agreement especially regarding delay in construction of Shahpur Kandi Project downstream of Ranjit Sagar Dam.
While demanding due share of the State from Ranjit Sagar Dam, PDP patron said that affected families, whose land was submerged in the dam project, must be properly rehabilitated. He said that local people have first right on the power being generated from this project.
Pointing towards huge tourism potential in this belt, Sayeed said that during PDP-Congress regime Lakhanpur-Sarthal tourism circuit was
especially setup to explore potential of this region.
Responding to the demand of local people, the former Chief Minister assured that Mahanpur would be given tehsil status. "Our party endorses demand of the residents of Mahanpur that this town should be given status of tehsil", he said.
Sayeed further said that formation of PDP was a turning point in the history of Jammu and Kashmir and this party has scripted a new chapter in the political history of the State. "Aim of PDP is not just to attain power but to establish a new system to justice, transparency and equality in the State", he said.
He said that it was all due to the conviction of the party leadership that PDP has emerged as strong alternative of the National Conference. He added that first time after 1947, PDP provided people an alterative to choose government of their own choice because earlier the political scene in the state was dominated by National Conference and people had no other option.
The PDP patron, while lambasting the present coalition regime for eroding sanctity of the all democratic institutions, said it was result of the vigorous campaign launched by his party that state government has finally announced elections of the Block Development Councils (BDCs). "Our party has been agitating for empowering Panchayats in the State", he said.
Sardar Trilok Singh Bajwa, Thakur Balbir Singh, Surinder Choudhary, Rajinder Singh Manhas, Rangil Singh-Sarpanch, Suresh Sharma, Sudesh Sapolia, Joginder Singh, Mushtaq Ahmed, Shagun Deep Singh, Jodh Singh Saini, Iqbal Malik, Parveen Singh Pathania and others also addressed the rally. |
