INLD holds demonstration against 'power and water' crisis

Fatehabad, Aug 17 (UNI) The activists of the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) today held demonstration against the 'power and water' crisis in the state.

Led by former Haryana Minister Sampat Singh, the INLD workers also submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner.

Addressing the agitating party workers, Sampat Singh said that the Haryana government had proved to be utter failure on all fronts. He alleged that the government lacked vision and had no planning to improve the power situation in the state.

He said that the government had been making false claims with regard to power ever since it had come to the helm of affairs.

He alleged that while the people of Haryana had been reeling under shortage of power and water, different functionaries of the government had been misleading them by providing different and self-contradictory figures about power generation plans of the government.

Sampat Singh said that the government had been claiming that the state would be self-sufficient in power within next three years but the fact was that no new power generation project, except the one at Yamunanagar, would come in to functioning by then.

The plant at Khedar was also likely to get delayed as coal linkage for the plant was yet to be done, he claimed.

The INLD workers went to the mini secretariat in shape of a procession and submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner.

Krishana Poonia, district president of the women wing of the INLD, Swatantar Bala Chaudhary, a former MLA, Kuljit Singh and Ram Raj Mehta, senior INLD leaders were present on this occasion.
