Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, September 5:- Deputy Commissioner Samti Komal Mittal today reviewed Jayanti Majri, Guda, Kasauli, Bhagindi and Karonde Wala villages. The access road to these villages was washed away due to the high flow of water in Jayanti Ki Rao Nallah.
The Deputy Commissioner instructed the officials of Drainage Department, Public Works Department and Rural Development and Panchayat Department present with him to immediately construct a temporary road for the people of these five villages without delay.
He assured the people of these villages that the estimate for construction of three bridges on Jayanti Ki Rao Nallah for a permanent solution has been sent to the government and once it is approved, the work on these bridges will also start.
The Deputy Commissioner was accompanied by Additional Deputy Commissioner (Rural Development) Sonam Chaudhary, SDM Kharar Mrs. Divya P, Executive Engineer of Public Works Department Vivek Dureja, Executive Engineer of Drainage Department Khushvinder Singh, Powercom and other officials.
The Deputy Commissioner went inside all these villages and found out the problems of the people, which included mobile connectivity, the hurdle in the construction of the road going up from Karonde Wala due to non-obtained clearance from the Forest Department and other issues of the villagers. The Deputy Commissioner assured that action would be taken soon on the issues that could be resolved immediately and for the problems that would take some time to resolve, the villagers should cooperate with us till then.
