Credit Game
Bholath, October 13 SSP Rakesh Agarwal said Khaira and 57 of his supporters were produced before the SDM of Bholath on Sunday evening who directed the police to release them unconditionally as there was no threat to law and order from them at that time. They were arrested when they were protesting the “re-laying” of the foundation stone of the water supply scheme at Akbarpur village by Jagir Kaur on Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, talking to The Tribune, Jagir Kaur said instead of creating a hindrance in different development projects, Khaira should welcome her efforts in bringing these projects to Bholath. Reiterating that the survey for the water supply scheme of Akbarpur and 67 other villages falling in the Bholath constituency was done in 2001 during the previous SAD-BJP government and the project was sanctioned in “The work on these NABARD-funded water supply schemes was started a few weeks back,” she said. Showing documents, Jagir Kaur said Rs 6.81 crore would be spent on these rural water supply schemes initiated due to her efforts. Asserting that she would work hard to provide water supply in each of the 143 villages in the Bholath constituency, Jagir Kaur said water supply schemes had been applied in 23 villages, whereas work on such schemes in 73 villages was on and approval for another 16 villages had been received. She would get the remaining 31 villages covered under one or the other scheme for providing water supply, she added. Answering a query about objections by Khaira to the proposed inauguration of the Sant Prem Singh Muralewale memorial gate by SAD chief Sukhbir Badal on Wednesday, she said Khaira should stop creating hindrance in development projects. She said the foundation stone of the gate had been laid by then CM Amarinder Singh but the same had been completed during the present government by spending Rs 25 lakh. Reminding Khaira, Jagir Kaur said the foundation stone of the Bholath flyover over the Kali Bein had been laid by Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal in 2001, but the same was inaugurated by Amarinder Singh a few years later. “Parties come to power and lose but the development works continue and no one has any right to create hindrance in these works,” she said. Bibi Jagir Kaur claimed foundation stones of repair, reconstruction or widening of several roads had been laid by Congress ministers but most of these works were completed with
the funds arranged with her efforts under the MPLAD funds or the Badal government. Some of these roads where work had been completed are Nadala to Begowal, Nadala to Man Talwandi, Begowal to Bhutnura, Subhanpur to Nadala and Hamira to Bholath, she added. Similarly, work on the Bholath-Bhogpur and Bholath-Bhutnura roads was on, whereas the work on widening of the Kartarpur-Bholath road would start next month, she claimed. |

‘Fix sugarcane MSP at Rs 200’
Hoshiarpur, October 13 On account of less rates of sugarcane fixed by the government last year and lack of arrangements for its marketing, growers were disappointed resulting in the reduction of the area under cultivation of this crop to a greater extent this year. With the low production of sugarcane, sugar mills would function for a shorter period as compared to the previous years, said Pota, adding that with the mills functioning for a shorter period, labourers as well as ancillary units would face problems. On account of the liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation policies of the central government, the country was facing great problems. The mill owners were earning huge profits by producing sugar, molasses, liquor, etc. from it, whereas the farmers were getting a little share for their produce. Demanding formation of farmers’ cooperative societies, immediate clearance of all types of arrears of farmers, restarting of the sugar mills, arrangements for loan of Rs 50,000 per acre through cooperative societies and other financial institutions, Pota appealed to the sugarcane producers to cooperate with the sangharsh committee in getting the demands accepted.
