bringing government funds is his duty; urges panchayats to ensure quality development : Dr Ishank Kumar,
Hoshiarpur/Nov 21/Daljeet Ajnoha :   The multi-dimensional development of Chabbewal constituency is my top priority, and keeping this mission in focus, development activities are being carried out in every village of the constituency, said Dr Ishank Kumar, Aam Aadmi Party MLA from Chabbewal, after distributing grant sanction letters worth Rs 2.5 crore among village panchayats.Dr Kumar said the funds would be utilised for streetlights, community halls, village lanes, panchayat buildings, dharamshalas, and sewerage systems. Under this grant, 27 villages of Hoshiarpur Block–2 will receive Rs 1 crore, while 43 villages of Block Mahilpur have been allocated Rs 1.5 crore, he added.Appealing to sarpanches and panchayat members, Dr Kumar urged them to spend the government grants without any bias and ensure the completion of high-quality works that people can take pride in for years to come. “Just as people elect MLAs to represent them, villagers elect panchayats to serve their interests. Bringing government assistance to the constituency is my job, but it is the panchayats’ responsibility to use every rupee honestly and fairly,” he remarked.He further emphasized that every stakeholder has a defined role in the process of public service, and only through sincerity towards their assigned duties can the constituency’s development reach greater heights.Dr Ishank Kumar also said that Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has opened the state treasury for public welfare works, and more grants would be released in the future. “Reports for other ongoing and pending works in the Chabbewal constituency are being prepared, and those projects will also begin soon,” he informed.
