Early Times Report
Kishtwar, July 2: The government claims to strengthen the Panchayat Raj Institution has suffered a major dent due to non availability of funds to complete the Panchayat Ghar at Panchayat Lohidar A in block Mughal Maidan of this district.
As per the details available with Early Times, construction of several Panchayat Ghars including Panchayat Ghar at Lohidar A was started in 2012 for which an estimate of Rs. 30 lakhs was prepared, but unfortunately despite spending lakhs of rupees, the said Panchayat Ghar is still incomplete and the said incomplete building is presently in dilapidated condition. The building is hosting animals besides it is full of cow dung with windows and doors missing from the building.
Official sources said that due to landslide the Panchayat Ghar suffered massive damages and since then it lies abandoned and unattended.
“We are running from pillar to post for release of the balance amount and payments as well as money for clearing the slides so that the glory of the Panchayat Ghar could be restored-- but we get only hollow promises,” said the locals. They said that due to the delay, the cost of the project has also been escalated and demanded funds for completion of the remaining works at latest rates.
A senior RDD official said that they had already brought the matter into the notice of the higher authorities and are waiting for the release of the funds. |
