Maiden Govt. College building in Ferozepur waits for finishing point

Ferozepur, February 8, 2016:With the slow pace of construction work at the maiden Government College under construction at village Mohakam Khan Wala for the last many months, the local Congress MLA Parminder Singh Pinki and Congress Rural President Satkar Kaur Gehri today blocked the traffic by sitting on dharna on Ferozepur-Zira road.

 

Addressing the protestors, Pinki said, the project is the initiative of  sanctioned during the fag end of the UPA-II regime at a cost of Rs.16 crore. The grant was also released but due to dilly-dallying attitude of the Punjab Government, the construction work is held-up, due to non-clearance of pending bills of Rs.8 crore of the contractor.

 

Congress MLA said, In the absence of any government college at the district headquarters to date, students who cannot afford education in private institutes have to travel miles to gain higher education.

He further said, the government is making tall claims of development with assurance that there will be no shortage of funds whereas the fund for the development works already going on are not being released.

 

Giving a warning to the government, Pinki said, in case the grant for the college is not released immediately, they will be compelled to sit on  dharna again before the college.

 

Contractor sources said that they have invested a lot of funds in the project but they were having a tough time in getting the amount released.  Due to non-payment labour class, the construction work has slowed down with less number of labourers.

 

The college building was supposed to be completed by July last but due to paucity of funds and as per the present status of the building. It looks that it would not be possible to start the new academic session during this year as lot of infrastructure including the staff besides completion of building, has to be arranged well before that.  The poor students of the border town are likely to miss admissions for another academic session.

 

Present among others on this occasion were, Chamkaur Singh Dhindsa, Gurmej Satnam Singh, Munish Sharma, Rishi Sharma and others.

Two packets with mobiles, banned items lobbed inside Central Jail in Ferozepur 20 bundles of ‘bidis’, 10 sachets of tobacco, one pack of cigarette recovered Ferozepur, September 24, 2023:  The security of Central Jail has been compromised with the high rising boundary walls at many places, from where racketeers are known to throw in tennis balls or packets stuffed with narcotics, mobile handsets, sim cards and batteries and other contraband material for inmates. Four mobiles and other prohibited items have been found in the two packets lobbed inside the jail over the high walls of Central Jail in Ferozepur.  The recovery of mobiles – the most wanted item by the prisoners for illegal purposes – and other banned items continue to recover from the barracks and in possession of inmates despite tight security arrangements at the entry points having more than 200 security cops.  On Saturday, the recovery of three mobiles, 20 bundles of ‘bidis’, 10 sachets of tobacco, one pack of cigarette from two packets thrown over the jail walls and one mobile during the search operation, on a tip-off by Assistant Superintendent, Sukhjinder Singh from under trial prisoner Gurpreet Singh, has exposed the security arrangements outside the jail premises. Earlier, the jail staff had seized 320 mobiles during the current year in various search operations carried out in the barracks of the jail.  Sometime back, an elaborate proposal was also made to shift the jail premises from the existing place to outside the city near Khai Pheme Ki from security point of view but the same could not be materialized due to paucity of funds. The regular recovery of mobiles from inside the jail for use by the prisoners, despite the three layer security needs to be probed in-depth at a high level. However, it is added here that the mobile recovery and its usage investigation is a great problem as the concerned prisoner has to be taken on remand, all the time from the jail which is not free from security point of view and in majority of the cases, the matter ends with the registration of the case under Prisons Act. According to jail officials, due to the open area outside the jail on the back and other side touching the high rising residential buildings, sometimes the packets and balls are also thrown containing the banned items.  However, the area is being covered by deploying extra security staff.  But there is no police post inside the jail so far.
