Indore: Mukhyamantri Nagarik Abhinandan Samaroh Samiti president and Mayor KM Moghe here on Tuesday said that the samiti would felicitate Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan for his contribution for the development of the state in a function organised at Abhay Prashal at 6 pm on Wednesday.
“ Chauhan put this ‘ bimaru’ state on the path of progress. He brought the state out of blackout, made agriculture a profitable business, brought investment revolution in the State, made every girl child a special child and a few to name,” he said adding that the Samiti would feel honoured in honouring Chauhan.
The felicitation ceremony is expected to be attended by people of all walks of lives. Apart from Mukhyamantri Nagrik Abhinandan Samaroh Samiti, various other organizations would also felicitate the CM. “ The CM would be weighed against silver,” Moghe said adding that the amount earned through this silver would be spent on relief operation at floodravaged Uttarkhand. The Mayor also appealed to the city residents to give donation for the flood- hit state.
CM to launch Atal Jyoti Abhiyan today
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan would launch Atal Jyoti Abhiyan in Indore district at a function organised at Depalpur, on Wednesday.
At 2: 55 pm, the CM would launch the Abhiyan under which the government provides 24 hours power supply for domestic use in urban and rural areas. With the launch of the campaign, uninterrupted 247 power supply would be available in the entire district.
The government has covered 48 out of 50 districts in the State under the campaign so far. The remaining two districts of Sagar and Indore would also be brought under the campaign on Wednesday.
The Abhiyan first would be launched in Sagar and then in Indore. Indore would be the last district to be covered under the scheme.
The State Government has spent Rs 105.83 crore in Indore district under the scheme. It has carried out segregation work at all the 234 feeders in the district due to which 637 villages would be benefited.
Shameful, says Congress
Describing the nagrik samman of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan as ‘ shameful’, the Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee ( MPCC) said that the CM should have avoided such samman samaroh given the fact that many residents of the State died and several others were missing in the flood- hit Uttrakhand.
“ It’s really shameful,” PCC spokesman Narendra Saluja said. He also blasted the BJPled State Government saying that it’s fooling the state people with Atal Jyoti Abhiyan.
“ The government should go back and see that there is no round the clock power supply where the campaign is launched. The BJP- led Government, which was voted to power on the false promise of resolving electricity woes has failed on the front completely. Even after nine years in power, the government could not resolve the electricity woes,” Salulja alleged.
