Gurjeet Singh Aujla meets Rajnath Singh, seeks NOCs for stalled projects
Description
Taking up matters pertaining to stalled development projects of the city related to the Defence Ministry, MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla today met Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.Aujla brought to his notice delay in the issuance of no-objection certificates (NOCs) for the construction of a railway overbridge (ROB) at the Vallah railway crossing; development of government senior secondary school, Vallah; repair of Vallah sabzi mandi roads; re-adjustment of barbed fence at the border to facilitate farmers and other defence establishment related issues.The Defence Ministry, vide a notification issued on November 11, 2004, had banned any construction within 1,000 yards of the ammunition dump. Traders uprooted from the old sabji mandi, situated outside the Hall Gate, were allotted space in the new market in 2004 but the majority of them were still operating from the makeshift location. Due to this, the area has been denied basic amenities such as sewerage, roads, etc. A railway crossing passing from the Vallah area also needs a ROB to resolve the problem of traffic jams. A minor section of the ROB comes into the domain of the restricted zone. The MP said the minister assured quick disposal of the issues. — TNS
