“Providing the best facilities to people at the doorstep is the only priority of our government,” said Jai Ram Thakur, Chief Minister, addressing a public meeting at Kanjayan in Bhoranj near here today.
Announcing to open two divisions of Irrigation and Public Health Department and PWD at Bhoranj, he said the uniform development was his dream.
Thakur said a proposal of the Rs 90-crore water supply scheme for Bhoranj had been prepared for BRICS funding which would benefit over 45,000 population. He said a Rs-157 crore project for channelisation of the Seer Khud had been sent to the Centre which would be approved soon. He urged people to reach Dharamsala on December 27 when the government would celebrate its one year of governance.
Earlier, the Chief Minister laid foundation stones and dedicated developmental projects worth Rs 34 crore in the constituency. The constituency had been represented by the BJP since 1990 by the late Ishwar Dass Dhiman.
He said it was unfortunate that Opposition leaders were pointing finger at him for using a helicopter and it seemed that they had no issue. He was using the helicopter for the welfare of the common man.
The Chief Minister announced upgrade of Government High School, Badhiar, to senior secondary school and opening of a veterinary dispensary at Jahu.
Earlier, the CM laid the stone of the lift water supply scheme Jakhyol Phase-II to be constructed at Rs 2.80 crore, Mundkhar-Chab-Lagmanwin link road to be constructed at Rs 3.38 crore and Kot-Jakhu road to be constructed at Rs 3.10 crore, Chainth Khud Channelisation to be completed at Rs 4.44 crore, 50-bed hospital at Bhoranj to be completed at Rs 10.65 crore.
