Chandigarh, November 18, 2015: In an earnest endeavour towards rural rejuvenation Panchayati Raj Institution are being involved by the government in asset formation, management and in entire process of planning for all development works and activities carried out in villages.
An official spokesperson of the Punjab rural Development and Panchayat Department said that the state government has decided to re-construct village streets and drains with the active involvement of Panchayats and initially the work will be undertaken in those villages where estimated cost of construction of streets and drains would be Rs. 10 lac approximately. He said that the construction work of streets and drains will be started by giving priority to colonies inhabited by Scheduled Caste and Backward Classes and in these villages where streets and drainage system has never been constructed.
He further said that in other villages where streets and drains have become so old and unusable and have to be re-constructed, the village panchayat would pass a resolution accordingly and approach the Rural Development and Panchayat Officers for the requisite reconstruction. The Villages for construction of streets and drains will be selected by a committee comprising the concerned Deputy Commissioner as Chairman, Additional Deputy Commissioner (Development) and District Development and panchayat Officer, Executive Engineer and concerned Block Development and panchayat Officer as members. He said that the construction work would be completed within three months of receipt of the grant and utilization Certification would be sent on completion of a respective work.
