Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today said that realizing well the grave situation of water logging in the state, the Union government should promptly release the funds to tackle this menace in an effective and time bound manner.
Interacting with the media persons on the sidelines of Sangat Darshan program here today, the Chief Minister said that a High Level Expert Group (HLEG) constituted by the Union Rural Development Minister Mr Jai Ram Ramesh under the Member (Water Resources and Rural Development) Planning Commission of India, Dr Mihir Shah to study the problem of water logging in the state had submitted its Detailed Project report (DPR) to the Cabinet after visiting the state. He further said that now the DPR was lying with the Planning Commission and its early clearance was required for issuing the funds to solve this crucial problem. Mr Badal said that it was the need of the hour that these funds must be released immediately to tackle this problem expediously.
The Chief Minister said that the Union Government must realize that Water Logging was not only an economic problem but it had far reaching social and administrative implications, which were adversely affecting the lives of people. He said that it was on record that vast infra structure in the water logged areas has been destroyed due this prolonged problem. Henceforth Mr Badal said that owing to this reason the state government could not turn a blind eye towards this severe problem. He said that out of the total water logged area of the state 3/4th was in Sri Muktsar Sahib District out of which 50% was lying only in Lambi assembly segment.
When asked to comment on the continuous victory spree of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in successive elections, the Chief Minister said that it was the mandate of voters in the favour of pro-people and development oriented policies of the Dal. Mr Badal said that they were highly indebted to the masses for reposing confidence and trust in the SAD time and again. Lauding the role played by Deputy Chief Minister and SAD President Mr Sukhbir Singh Badal in ensuring these victories, he said that Deputy Chief Minister had worked very hard in all these elections to ensure emphatic triumph of SAD.
When asked to comment on the Railway Budget presented by the Union Railway Minister on Tuesday, the Chief Minister termed it a totally anti-people and directionless budget. He said that it was unfortunate that rather than giving any relief to the people, the Union government has put an indirect burden on them through this irrational budget. However, Mr Badal said the new link with Talwandi Sabo was the result of his constant and strenuous effort to mount pressure on GoI in this regard.
Replying to a query regarding the criminal case filed against former Patiala Mayor Mr Jaspal Singh, the Chief Minister categorically said that the guilty would not be spared, whosoever influential he might be, at any cost adding that the law of the land would take its own course in this case. Mr Badal said that he had already constituted a SIT to probe into the entire matter, which would submit its detailed report after ascertaining all the angles in the case.
Highlighting the significance of the Sangat Darshan programs, the Chief Minister said that Punjab was perhaps the only state in the country where this unique program was being carried out successfully thereby virtually bringing the government at the door steps of the common man. He said that through this program a sincere effort was being made by them to solve the problems faced by people.
Reiterating the firm commitment of the SAD-BJP alliance to fulfill each and every promise made to the people during polls, the Chief Minister said that the state government was duty bound to take every step for the welfare of all sections of society and keep the tempo of the growth high.
Earlier during Sangat Darshan program at village Khema Khera, Roranwali and Tarmala a large number of Congress leaders and workers joined the SAD in presence of the Chief Minister.
Meanwhile during the Sangat Darshan program at Khema Khera, Roranwali, Tarmala, Fullu Khera, Arniwala, Kuttianwala, Sikh Wala and Fatuhi Khera, the Chief Minister disbursed grants for development works in these villages.
The Chief Minister was accompanied by his Special Principal Secretary Mr KJS Cheema.
