Subject: Suggestions for the preparation of
Budget 2015-16
in response to the State Government
call…..Construction of Large /big Power Projects in Himachal Pradesh.
Sir,
With
reference to the news item appeared in The Tribune dated 7th of
January, 2015, inviting suggestions for budget for the year 2015-16 from the
people of the State before formulating the same. Though such suggestions were invited for the budget for
the year 2013-14 and some of the suggestions were sent but not even on any of
the suggestions , any action has so far been taken and nothing were appeared in
the budget for that budget year. However , the following suggestions are again
retreated as under for inclusion in the budget for the year 2015-16 as under:-
In
order to execute big power projects and have power generation in plenty , an
agency , executing such projects is the demand of the day to earn revenue to
the state exchequer by an agency which should have the control of State
Government. This agency will not only earn revenue but
also provide employment to the educated un employed youth.
Therefore, the Proposal is as under:-
1. In
order to materialize this proposal, formation of a cooperative Society, namely
“HP Government Pensioners and Serving
Employees- Co-Operative Society is only required to be formed under
the asis of State Government which can later be registered as a Company . For
this purpose , the State Government will only have to do a provision
of token money required for the registration of a company. The shares of the
society, later on registered as company will be sold to HP. Government
Pensioners and Serving employees. The share money so collected will run in
thousands of crores of rupees . This share amount can be collected from the Dearness
Allowance installments which the Government have to pay after every six months
in crores of rupees. The wards of the share holders i.e. pensioners and serving
Government employees , who have acquired higher education in many fields like
engineering etc. could be adjusted in the construction of such large projects
in various categories of posts , thereby minimizing the un employment problems
in the State .
2. The
second proposal is to earn revenue for the state in a big way.
A provision for allotment of encroached Government
land by way of giving the same on perpetual/ 99 years of lease is
needed to be made. A huge quantity of Government land is presently encroached
by individuals throughout the state and the Government is quite unable to get
the encroached land back .Therefore , it will be in the
best interest of the State Government as also of the individual
encroacher to allot the so detected encroached land to the
individuals on perpetual / 99 years lease basis against some lease money / fee
as prescribed . By this way , the lease money / fee
so collected by the State Government will definitely run
into thousands crores of rupees and the propriety of the Government
on such land will also be
maintained.
3. I further request your kind good office that the development works in Bilaspur H.P.
particularly in town and generally in entire District have been stand still for
the last many years as the B.J.P. Government during its stint has done nothing
for Bilaspur District in any respect rather entire development has been done in
Hamirpur District during the entire period. All health and educational
institutes have been set up in Hamirpur District by ignoring its adjoining
District of Bilaspur H.P.
I am inviting your kind attention towards the following development works which requires immediate attention of the public representatives of the Bilaspur District and also the Hon’ble Chief Minister, H.P./ State Government. All such works mentioned below must appear in the budget proposals for the year 2015-16. A time bound orders / directions are required to be issued to all concerned to fulfill the requirements of the public of Bilaspur District.
( 1 ) To get two more sectors created to wards Bamta and Badhyahat (2 ) The remaining austees of Bilaspur District should be given plots etc. in these new Sectors with all amenities of Road, Sewerage, Water , Electricity , parks ,stadiums etc. (2) The new Bus stand has already been approved by the Congress Government in the last stint but the B.J.P. Government could not construct the same during its rule in five years though Rs.15 crores and 15 Bigha of land has already been earmarked and sanctioned for the purpose in the area of H.R.T.C. Workshop as per the information received by me in R.T.I. and E Samadhan. This should be got constructed on top priority basis. (3) A tunnel from Bilaspur town to Markand/ Jukhala should also be got constructed for the overall development of Bilaspur town, (4) As already the matter had been in the policy of Congress Government earlier, an artificial lake should be got created so that tourists should stop over at Bilaspur ( 5) Berri Dadolan brigde over Govind Sagar lake should be got constructed soon as it was on the Congress Agenda for the last many years. (6) The construction of Baagh Chhal Bridge has hanging fire for the last more then eight years as the B.J.P. Government during this period had done nothing as the work was started by the previous Congress Government (7) The drinking and irrigation water supply scheme to each field of the District is the most urgent work, The water could be stored in big tanks by lifting / pumping from the Satluj River/ Govind Sagar lake and irrigation facilities could be provided to entire District of Bilaspur H.P. (8) Three face electricity to each house hold / village so that the young generation living in the rural and remote areas could earn their livelihood and may not run to the cities for earning their lively hood. (9) Subsidized pesticides and fertilizer should be made available to the farmers well in time before the showing season is started at their door steps .(10) Construction of link roads to each village having population of at least 100 as per policy already announced by the Congress Government (11) The industrial area of the Bilaspur Town should be expended to the new Sectors being to be created towards Bamta and Badhyat so that the un employed educated youth could get jobs and earn their livelihood (12) I had taken up the matter with the Government of India Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation as also with the State Government of H.P. that there is a plan for the construction of international Air Port in Himachal Pradesh but suitable land could not be traced out during the last five years whereas I had given a plan that the Sukkar Khad Valley right from Jhorghat to Ghori Dhabiri is the ideal and suitable place for the construction of International Airport . This Khad divids Bilaspur and Hamirpur District and it is widened about 700 meter is width. At present the B.J.P. Government has cut off the Bilaspur town from all sides and there is no development of the town particularly and business and other developmental activities are stand still in the town and Bilaspur District. I have requested other public representatives of Bilaspur H.P. to be active and get all these demands accepted from the State Government at the earliest possible. It is surprising that fortunately, the Government of India had sanctioned a Hydro Engineering College, which has been proposed to be constructed at Bandla Dhaar, but till now, it has not been inaugurated by any high dignitaries from the Centre or from the State and work has not yet been started. Now by the grace of almighty God, the Central Government has sanctioned All India Institute of Medical Sciences and the State Government in its last cabinet meeting has decided that the same will be set up in Bilaspur District. Hope that all such Institutions are constructed and started functioning at the earliest possible.
