Mansa, December 4
A day after Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala joined the Congress, residents of Mansa district have come up with a ’11-point development agenda’ (list of pending works) in the district and urged him get these works done before the code of conduct comes into effect.
The residents of Mansa have hailed his decision of starting a political career and said the singer must ensure he takes concrete steps so that these projects can be materialised. With the political power he enjoys now, he must put in concerted efforts and try to get the pending developmental works of the district completed on priority, they said.
Munish Danewalia, president of Arhtiya Association of Mansa, said, “After joining the Congress, Moosewala has to take the responsibility. He will have to share a comprehensive roadmap with residents on how is he going to get these works done. The residents of Mansa have always played a significant role in mass movements and voters are quite alert and informed here.”
Gurlabh Singh Mahal, a leader of the Samvidhan Bachao Manch, said, “In our 11-point agenda, we have asked for a detailed plan. Around 70 per cent sewerage in Mansa is faulty and there are no proper arrangements for cleanliness in the city area. The state government announced more than four years ago that it would provide a permanent solution to the stray cattle menace but there is no headway in that project also.”
“At Nehru Memorial Government College, there is not even a single regular professor and it does not have required academic infrastructure. The government hospital in Mansa does not have expert doctors and medical infrastructure to provide quality treatment. The repair work of the canal tributary channel that supplies water to Moosewala village is also lying pending,” added Mahal.
Laud political move
The residents of Mansa have hailed Sidhu Moosewala’s decision of starting a political career and said the singer must ensure he takes concrete steps so that developmental projects can be materialised.
