Th. Gulchain Singh Charak Former Minister and President Dogra Sadar Sabha J&K along with other members of the Sabha after touring the different areas of District Ramban, participated in a meeting of Sarpanches, Panches, Numberdars, Chowkidars and other prominent persons of the area held at Chaderkot on 9th July, 2019 under the chairmanship of Sh. Dhram Chand, President Dogra Sadar Sabha, District Ramban. Highlighting the crucial problems of the area speakers demanded upgradation of High School Chanderkot established in 1980 to Higher secondary level, as there is no HSS school in the radius of 15 KM and also demanded upgradation of one of the 5 middle schools functioning in the two Panchyats of Saoni area as the students of these areas has to travel a long distance to reach the high school for getting the education of nineth class. It was also pointed out that present district hospital Ramban is in a pitiable condition lacking medical staff and technicians. It has just become a referral hospital only without adequate facilities. Moreover, the entire belt is accident prone as such medical facilities need to be provided to the people by properly equipping the district hospital as per the requirements. Moreover, four laning of National highway is only adding to the miseries of local people due to regular traffic jams and environment problems. Local sub contractors who were engaged by M/s Gammon India Ltd have not been paid their dues by the company since long even after the completion of the work allotted to them.
People of the area also feel betrayed as the govt. got their land for Bagilar project with the promise that they would be given employment at the project site but nothing was done in this respect. People demanded that the whole area along the lake should be developed as mega tourist attraction which can substantially add to the economy of the area. Moreover tourists spots like Patnitop, Sanasar, Ladha Dhar, Surni Kund, Gala Dhar, Sarwa Dhar and Pogal Paristaan in Ramban district should be developed as attractive places for tourists visiting the state. Prominent among others who expressed their views are Dharam Chand Ex- Sarpanch, Salam Din contractor, Mohd Shakeel Ahmad Retd Principal, Mohd Ashraf Lone Sarpanch, Kuljeet Chand and others.
