Samba May 29: The daily commuters shuttling on the Samba to Sarna road have to face lot of difficulties and bumpy ride as the said road is in bad shape while the concerned department and district authorities are in deep slumber.
Residents of far flung villages situated along the route like Shah Balode, Gowal Chora, Nangal, Teri,, Patyari, Sarna , Chilla danga, Mohargarh are facing lot of problems due to the poor road connectivity.
According to villagers the things become worst when in emergencies the patients shifted to main district hospital. Local lamented that they have raised the issue with concerned authorities many a times and even have staged protest demanding the black-toping of road but all requests fell to deaf ears till date.
They said that road stretch from Samba to Sarna up to Chila Danga is in utterly bad shape having potholes and streams of boulders and offers a dusty ride. Agitated over callous approach of concerned authorities, Suram Chand resident of Sarna village said that PWD Deptt has failed to maintain the road reasons better known to the officials at the helms of affairs.
Kaushalya Devi said that it is only the polling time when several of leader of different parties come to these remote villages and dole false assurances to the but once they get elected they never turned to them.
Meantime PDP leader Sunny Sangral who conducted a visit to these villages and interacted with delegations of villagers who apprised him with their miseries highlighted their problems. Speaking in a press conference at Samba Sunny Sangral said a RTI was filed by his party men seeking details about the work done on Samba-Mandi Circular Road which reveals that the amount released under NABARD scheme has been misappropriated by the Public Works Department (R&B)."NABARD released Rs 76.93 lakh for the construction of Samba-Mandi Circular Road but the department used only Rs 21.02 lakh besides, a sum of Rs 5.35 lakh spent as cost of material supplied by the department against the said work. And, rest of Rs 50 lakh have been diverted somewhere else which amounts to misappropriation," he said. Sangral squarely blamed local MLA for maintaining silence over the issues of Samba constituency and has demanded probe in alleged misappropriation |
