RAMGARH: In a comprehensive review meeting held in Ramgarh, MLA Ramgarh Dr. Devinder Kumar Manyal, along with Deputy Commissioner Samba Rajesh Sharma (JKAS) and senior officials from various departments, assessed the status of ongoing developmental works and addressed public grievances from the constituency. Dr. Manyal expressed concern over delayed road repairs, particularly in rural and flood-prone areas, and instructed the Public Works Department to ensure quality, accountability, and time-bound completion of works.
Dr. Manyal emphasized that departments must act proactively and remain in constant coordination with public representatives. He urged the Agriculture and Horticulture Departments to expedite the verification of subsidised machinery and provide timely compensation for weather-related damages to polyhouses. He recommended the establishment of a horticulture nursery in Ramgarh to generate employment and enhance local productivity. Stressing the importance of inclusive governance, he added that outreach programmes should not be conducted in isolation, and local representatives must be kept in the loop for better implementation. On the education front, he called for rationalisation of teaching staff, noting that several schools have a mismatch between student strength and teacher deployment.
He further directed the Revenue Department to expedite resolution of land disputes in Sarwa, Chamliyal, and Mahal, and facilitate land identification for public utilities including the PMAY housing colony and grid station at Radi. Dr. Manyal also raised concerns over the delay in clearing Displaced Persons (DP) files and sought immediate attention from the ADC. He underscored the importance of restoring irrigation canals before the next crop cycle, ensuring regular electricity supply to all villages, and continuing public health initiatives under ICMRâs NCD programme. Concluding the meeting, Dr. Manyal stated, People expect responsiveness and efficiency from our departments. It is our collective responsibility to ensure transparency, timely service delivery, and development that reaches the grassroots.
