AAP MP Sanjay Singh adopts a west Delhi village

NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Saturday adopted a village in west Delhi to develop it as a model village by bringing multi-faceted development into it.
Kharkhari Nahar village has a population of around 2500 people and comes under the Matiala assembly constituency represented by AAP. Singh said that his vision is development of the village in harmony with the environment.
He undertook a visit to the village along with local MLA on Saturday and later discussed the priorities of the people with regard to development in a meeting.“The locals raised the demand for baraat ghar and flagged the drying of the three ponds. They also underlined the fall in water table and the drying of the handpumps. Also they pointed out the unemployment among the youth,” said sources.
Singh is planning to bring back the ponds to life under the AAP government’s water harvesting policy and also announced that he will get solar power high-mast lights installed in different places of the village. The MP also promised developing a park in the village.
A blueprint for the village’s development will be prepared soon where the focus will be on the social and cultural development of the village and works for sanitation, parks, water supply, and environment would be taken on a priority basis.
Under the Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana, which is a rural development program focusing on the development of the villages, an MP has to adopt a village and fix parameters to make it a model village.
