Garchas do not care for development work in Halqa qila Raipur - 08/06/2007

Development of Halqa Qila Raipur |

True to form the Garchas have carried on where they left off in 2002.
It is regrettable that this government has allowed them to continue their illegal activities with impunity.
The Punjab Government’s failure to protect the ordinary people and government employees of Halqa Qila Raipur reflects a total abdication of responsibility for this area.
Whereas the Garchas should be looking to improve schools, healthcare facilities, roads, irrigation works, transport, etc….they are totally focused on promoting criminality.
Take the example of the lining of the Dehlon and Pakhowal distributaries. These two projects were sanctioned by the last government, after considerable lobbying by Sardar Jagpal Singh Khangura, funds were sanctioned by NABARD and tenders were advertised. Works could not be awarded because of the election code of conduct.
In the past three months the Garchas have not cared to pursue the awards of work as they do not care for the interests of the poor farmer and the common man.
The Garchas do not want this lining works to take place. Instead they wish to plunder the funds allocated for the clearing and clearance of these distributaries.
