He said that due to delay in distribution of these Solar Lights, the life of the battery is losing its durability and said that people even made an attempt to rob these solar lights. Reacting to the concern showed by the MLC Sajjad Ahmed Kichloo, Deputy Chairman Jahangir Ahmed Mir directed the government to distribute the Solar Lights within 10 days. As soon as the Deputy Chairman issued directions to the government, PDP MLC objected it with the plea that the list of the beneficiaries for Solar Lights is politically motivated to which Deputy Chairman objected and did not allow the PDP MLC to speak over the issue. Deputy Chairman clarified that the list has been prepared by the Sarpanchs and authenticated by the Deputy Commissioner and hence no question arises and directed the government to go ahead with distribution of the Solar Lights; on which RDD Minister assured the house that the distribution of the pending solar lights will be completed within next 15 days.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
