Develop Maoist-affected areas as Ambedkar villages: Mayawati
TNN, Jul 13, 2010, 04.38am IST
LUCKNOW: In a new roadmap for the development of Maoist-infested
areas, chief minister Mayawati on Monday directed officials to declare
all villages in such areas as 'Ambedkar villages' for accelerated
development, and asked the forest department to issue necessary no
objection certificate (NOC) at the earliest for road construction and
other development work.
This was directed by the CM after a review meeting held in the city.
The meeting was conducted by Cabinet secretary Shashank Shekhar Singh
and chief secretary Atul Kumar Gupta.
In this scheme of things, the CM said, top priority should be accorded
to electrification and improvement in health care and drinking water
facilities, besides upgradation of the public distribution system. She
also said landless people should also be allotted Panchayat land on
pattas on a priority basis.
This way, she said, the scheme should be prepared for five districts,
namely Sonebhadra, Chandauli, Mirzapur, Chitrakoot and parts of Karvi
and Banda. The CM said development programme should be formulated on
the basis of demands of local people and added 61,487 cheap houses
should be constructed in the area under the Kashi Ram Shehari Garib
Awas Yojna on a priority basis. Expressing concern over delay in the
execution of scheme already prepared for the region, she said work
should be expedited and officers concerned should be held accountable
for lapses. As for the irregularities in the allotment of land on
patta to those of Scheduled Castes, the CM said deterrent action
should be taken against the officials found guilty on that count and
any such patta should be cancelled immediately. In such a matter, she
said, SDMs would be held directly responsible for any lapses.
She said the sale of land owned by SC/ST should be screened thoroughly
and nobody should be allowed to exploit them. Land useful for
agriculture and housing purposes should be allotted on a priority to
landless people of to SC/ST.
Taking strong exception to the rising incidents of adulteration in
consumable items, she said action should be taken to discourage such a
practice through a sustained drive. She said divisional commissioners
and district magistrates concerned should constantly monitor such
drives in their respective areas and also inform the Secretariate
about the outcome of the drives.
Likewise, the sale of spurious and banned drugs should be monitored
and deterrent action should be taken against those found guilty. As
for the availability of fertiliser and seeds to farmers, she said
special efforts should be made to ensure their supply at block and
village level. There was no dearth of such items and, therefore, any
complaints would be deemed as a lapse on part of the officials
concerned, she added.
She also said identification of beneficiaries under the UP
Mukhyamantri Garib Arthik Madad Yojna should be completed without any
delay. Under the scheme, Rs 300 per month is earmarked to be given to
each beneficiary. This is expected to benefit nearly 30 lakh
beneficiaries in the state.
