 Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 1: Ranbir Singh Pathania, state spokesperson J & K BJP, while interacting with people hailing from Garh Samna Banj, Sanote, Beral, Panjian, Babay, Sarana, Been, Laa, Chakka villages Dehma (Majalta) sought formulation of special sub-plan for various far-flung pockets of J & K. It was in the late 80s and early 90s that area development officers were posted in the far flung areas of Dudu-Basantgarh, Bani, Bhaderwah, Badnota, Mahore and other far-flung areas of J & K. It was due to the fact that the developmental parameters of these areas were nose-diving at due to administrative neglect.
Nonetheless, only with the posting of officers without any fiscal support or developmental push resulted in somewhat deflation of the very intent and object of the scheme.
Pathania informed that he had tabled a resolution on the floor of the assembly where the government had undertaken to formulate a special sub-plan in addition to the district plan with a view to spurring up developmental activity in hitherto neglected areas. Given the diverse trajectory of developmental needs of these areas, he has further called upon the Governor-led administration to immediately create a provision for special sub-plan for economically and socially backward areas craving for provision of basic living facilities since timers immemorial. |
