Ratia, 13 November (Advocate Gurpreet Singh Mander):- During the visit of Haryana BJP State President Dr. Archana Gupta to Ratia, a delegation of Sarv Samaj Sabha Ratia, led by its president Satpal Jindal, raised the demand for constructing a market complex on the vacant land of the old warehouses situated on Anaj Mandi Road. In this regard, the delegation submitted a memorandum to the state president. On this occasion, Halqa MLA Jarnail Singh also described the demand as necessary and stated that efforts would be made to resolve the issue at the earliest.
Sabha President Satpal Jindal said that these warehouses, spread over approximately four acres, had been constructed several decades ago outside the city in an area of sand dunes. With the passage of time and the expansion of the city, the location has now come to lie in the heart of the city. He said that the warehouses are currently lying vacant and have also become dilapidated. In such circumstances, the land can be put to better use in the public interest and for the development of the city.
He suggested that a modern market complex, mall and a convenient premises for the offices of various banks should be developed at the site. This would provide city residents with access to several commercial and banking facilities at one location. He further said that the planned utilisation of this land could also become a major source of revenue for the government.
The Sabha demanded that the concerned department assess the potential of the land and prepare a development project in accordance with the needs of the city, so that the old and unused premises can be transformed into a centre for public facilities and economic activities.
On this occasion, Sabha General Secretary Dr. Naib Singh Mander, Sunil Indora (CM Window Eminent Person) and other members of the Sabha were present.
