Lakhvir Singh Cheema
Mahal Kalan, 12 December
The nursing college to be built by the ‘AAP’ government in the historic village of Rekhriwala has remained a mere announcement. The government has not yet done anything to build a college. The foundation stone of the college has not even been laid yet due to which there is resentment among the villagers towards the government. The site chosen for the college is as deserted as before. Where some people of the village have thrown cow dung and brought manure and the paths are going. No effort is being shown at the government level for the college.
It may be mentioned that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann arrived on the occasion of the 89th anniversary of freedom fighter Shaheed Sewa Singh Lakhriwala on January 2023. He had announced from the stage to build a government nursing college by upgrading the government school for girls. The CM did not come on the occasion of the anniversary in 2024, but AAP MLA from Halka Mahal Kalan Kulwant Singh Pandori loudly claimed the release of a grant of 20.84 crores for the college, but even after 10 months of the anniversary, there is no government activity for the college. Not visible Now the 91st death anniversary of Shaheed Sewa Singh is coming next month and the people of the village are ready to question the government for the college.
Mangal Singh of the village said that like other governments, the ‘AAP’ government also seems to be a government with only promises. If any action had been started immediately after the announcement, the college building would have been ready by now. Sarpanch Kiranjit Singh said that the panchayat is taking action for the college and this time the work will be started by laying the foundation stone of the college on the occasion of the anniversary.
PWD department is responsible for college construction. Axion of the department Davinderpal Singh says that no grant etc. has been released for the college yet. It is still in its initial phase. After getting the approval of the health department of the central government, the location of the college is being marked and its assessment is being taken. After that, an estimate will be made for the construction. He said that the construction work of the college is likely to start from next year.
