SHOPIAN, JUNE 13: The District Development Commissioner
Shopian, Mohammad Aijaz, today stressed on rationalization of power supply so
that it can be ensured that all areas of the district get equal distribution.
The DDC was speaking in an introductory meeting he chaired with district and
sectoral officers here today at mini secretariat Shopian. He impressed the
officers to commit themselves for the fast-track development of the district
especially in the sectors of power, health, public health engineering, road connectivity
and education.
Earlier,
the DDC was briefly apprised about the functioning, major achievements and the
issues of different departments by the concerned officers. It was given out
that as many as 1144 power transformers are available and 16 hours of power
supply is being provided in the district. The
DDC impressed upon the Executive Engineer PDD to rationalize the distribution
of power and ensure that all areas of the district get equal power supply. He
added that damaged transformers should be timely repaired in order to maintain
a sufficient buffer stock in the district.
While
reviewing the schemes of Public Health Engineering Department, the DDC said
since the turbidity of water in Shopian is quite high as compare to other
districts of Kashmir division, therefore it is of utmost importance to timely
clean the filtration plants. He set a deadline of 30 days for PHE department to
clean all the filtration plants afresh so that safe drinking water could be
provided to the public.
He
also called for expediting construction of district hospital buildings and
asked the DGM JKPCC to complete the remaining work within 5 months so
that it can be commissioned to the public soon thereafter.
The issue of cost escalation of important projects was discussed in the meeting
and it was decided that revised DPRs should be submitted in the office of DDC
at an earliest so that it can be projected for World Bank funding. The DDC
assured that sufficient funds would be made available and no project would be
allowed to stalled due to dearth of funds.
