Most of the major developmental projects announced by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for Rohtak district are pending for want of funds. As per official record, of the 50-odd announcements made by the CM, only seven have been completed so far while work is in progress on nine others.
The major projects lying pending include the establishment of a sports injury centre at the local PGIMS, provision of requisite manpower for the commissioning of the trauma centre, sanctioning of posts of faculty member, doctor and nursing staff, raising the remuneration of resident doctors, senior residents and assistant professors, besides construction of hostels for boys and girls and new houses for Class III and Class IV employees at the PGIMS.
The construction of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences building on the MDU campus here is pending. The matter has been sent to the Finance Department for approval to meet the expenditure of Rs1 crore out of the plan budget of the university.
Estimates for Rs46.33 lakh have been prepared and put up for sanction to set up a solid and liquid waste management project at Baniyani, the CM’s native village.
The projects announced by the CM that have been commissioned/completed so far include making provision for a 50 per cent subsidy for establishing mini-dairies having indigenous (desi) cows and shifting of the drinking water pipeline along the road at Madina village.
While the Opposition leaders attribute the delay to the lack of government’s grip over the administrative machinery, those owing allegiance to the ruling party maintain the Opposition (read Congress) MLAs do not want to get projects commissioned in their constituencies so that the BJP government is unable to get credit for these.
