Garhsankar November 07 - Everyone respects the national flag, which is the national symbol of the country. But what prestige do our governments want to establish by putting millions of rupees at the height of flags to sound the bell of wealth in the world, which is a big question.
Garhsankar November 07 - Everyone respects the national flag, which is the national symbol of the country. But what prestige do our governments want to establish by putting millions of rupees at the height of flags to sound the bell of wealth in the world, which is a big question. The biggest need is healthy food, sanitation, free from flies and mosquitoes and to fill the vacant posts of teachers in schools and not to spend lakhs of rupees on these flags. After receiving information from Hoshiarpur, disclosing the expenditure on installing 2 national flags of 30 meters high and 20 x 30 feet size within the limits of the municipal corporation, he said that a total of 20 lakhs, 65 thousand and 471 rupees were spent on them and they were inaugurated. The AAP member of the local city and Hon'ble Cabinet Minister of the State Government Punjab Mr. Brahm Shaknar Sharma ji did it. Dhiman further said that these flags were installed by a private company: Bharat Electrical Hoshiarpur and this work was given to the company through e-tendering. But the company is yet to pay this money. While in the city, the urban people are begging the government for many other tasks related to human life. People have to respect the flag. But the children of the poor beg under those flags. Then it is surprising that if the municipal corporation did not have money, then why did they spend money on these flags? Dhiman said that how the people's tax money is being spent. He said that fake patriotism seems good for some time, but later it becomes destructive. Now it will happen that now the company will go around Minister Sehbana to get the payment of the bills. He said that the real corruption is within the government itself. Corruption will continue to spread until the government structure is transparent.
Dhiman said that the country and the national flag will not be respected by hoisting the flag, but by making people happy. To make people happy, we have to follow the path of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Mahatma Gandhiji and Dr. BR Ambedkarji. The expenditure incurred on these flags exposes rampant corruption. The question arises whether 21 lakh rupees is a thing or not. Dhiman said that the copies of their bills have not yet been provided by the Municipal Corporation and they will also be obtained soon and placed in front of the citizens, then it will be known that these How much was the cost of labor and how much was the cost of material and how much GST was given on it. An appeal is being made to the First Appellate Authority to get more data. Dhiman said that the love of the country is in the hearts of the people and should be. On the other hand, where there is a need to spend very important money in the city, the Punjab government and the cabinet minister are not seeing it. The pollution spread in the city, the feces flowing in the open drains, the waste in the empty plots and the anarchy and disorder spread in the hospital. Why is the smelly dirt in the chow not visible? Extreme dengue is spreading in the city. Dhiman said that he will send an email to the Prime Minister's office to get an investigation from the CAG to find out how such a huge amount of money was spent on these two flags and the cooperation of the urban people will also be sought in this regard.
