| Harsh lambasts coalition Govt for bias in creation of new administrative units | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 11: Harsh Dev Singh NPP MLA and leader of the Panthers Legislature Party today lambasted the coalition govt. for neglecting the deserving areas in the matter of creation of new administrative units in the state.
Speaking in the legislative Assembly today, Singh said that there were several eligible areas which qualified the norms for grant of Tehsil, Sub Division and Block status but were wrongfully and deliberately deprived by the state govt. for political considerations.
He said that the state govt. had disregarded the criteria laid down for creation of such units particularly in opposition constituencies with vested interests and ulterior motives. He said that the reports of Ganai Committee as well as the CSC reports were assured to be tabled on the floor of the assembly for discussion but the govt. refused to honour its assurance for obvious reasons. He said that the govt. was aware of irregularities and imbalances in the said reports and therefore avoided the tabling of the report in Assembly for discussion.
Strongly condemning the govt. inaction, he accused the coalition govt. of abuse of public exchequer and sought explanation from the latter for the same.
Making out a strong case for grant of Tehsil status to Jindrah, Singh said that Jindrah niabat was created around 40 years back and had been recommended for tehsil status even in Wazir Commission report.
He said that govt. neglect in upgrading the said naibat to tehsil had evoked widespread resentment with large scale protests and demonstrations in Jindhah and adjoining areas. Likewise, Singh pleaded the cause of Purmandal, Duggan, Malhar and Budhal for tehsil status; Bishnah for Sub Division and Sudh Mahadav, Lowang and Sitti for Block; Gadh Top and Kud for niabats. Accusing the state govt. of sabotage over the issue of Chanunta-Dalsar Block, he said that its headquarter would be fixed by the people of concerned area.
He warned the state govt. to desist from misleading the people by naming any place as the headquarter of the said Block.
Drawing the attention of the govt. towards large scale protest demonstrations organized by the people at various places, Singh warned that any further delay in honouring the genuine aspirations of people was fraught with dangerous portends and would lead to disastrous consequences. |
