Ferozepur, May 17, 2023: Shaheed-e-Watan Youth Organization on Wednesday, organized Sarva Dharma Ardas on the land acquired for PGI near Malwal, for early start of the project, which was initiated about ten years back which is still a distant dream for the residents of the area.

Today, the local heads of Hindu, Sikh, Muslim and Christian, jointly prayed at the site of PGI near Malwal when the local NGOs and some youth leaders were also present.

There is a great resentment among the citizens for not coming up with this project in operation. This project in Ferozepur was sanctioned in 2013, during the tenure of UPA-II along with Sangrur which has since started about five years back. Earlier, there was a problem of deciding the location for its construction. Now when all formalities have been completed, it seems that this project has fallen prey to politics at the central level, the consequences of which are being borne by the people here.

Earlier, the project was, however, scheduled to be inaugurated on January 5 last year by Prime Minister Narendera Modi but due to blockade on the highway, the PM had to return.   Later on, Amit Shah had also announced to lay the foundation before April 13 last but so far there is no progress and there is a great resentment among the residents.

Since this project will benefit the patients suffering from chronic diseases and for any emergency, as they had to be rushed to nearby private hospitals and even to PGI at Chandigarh, the Shaheed-e-Watan Youth Organization had thought of organizing Sarva Dharma Ardas, for its early start. They are hopeful that our prayer will not go futile and the Central government leaders will realize its importance and PGI in Ferozepur will come up at the earliest.
