| Balbir Singh criticizes Govt for making panchayat powerless | | | 
Early Times Report
Kathua, Sept 29: Former MLC and senior Congress leader Thakur Balbir Singh has criticized the Govt. for making Panchayats powerless which are not able to do developmental works even on a small scale.
Mr. Singh was speaking before the people at a public meeting in Panchayat Jakhol which is a kandi area of Kathua district and often struggles for drinking water issues.
He said that the developmental activities have come to standstill under the BJP ruled Central Govt. which controls the J&K administration directly. “The Congress Govts had given power directly in the hands of the people and they were empowered in panchayats to do work as per the demands of the respective people/panchayats so that the common villagers do not suffer,” he said.
He said that the administration has become out of reach of the public and people are left without any representations.
In the present circumstances, he said, it would not be possible for elected Panchayat members to do justice with the people. “They cannot do even small developmental work. The tendering process which is adopted by the Govt should not be imposed on Panchayats. They have imposed the directions while sitting in the AC rooms without realizing that the common people, especially poor villagers, would suffer with the want to develop in their respective Panchayats,” he said. |
