Punjab Revenue Minister Bikarm Singh Majithia on Sunday said the State Government’s decision to make Majitha a new sub-division “is a step towards providing all Government services to people near their door steps”.
Punjab Cabinet, in its meeting on Friday under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, has given approval to make a Sub-Division.
Majithia, Majitha MlA, thanked Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal for increasing the status of sub-Tehsil Majitha to sub-division that too on the historic martyrdom day of great freedom fighter Shaheed Udham Singh.
He said this long lasting demand of the people of this area had been fulfilled which was being ignored by earlier Governments from last 50 years.
“Now Majitha will now have one permanent post of SDM and Tehsildar besides other Government officers which will provide Government services to the people of 93 villages of Kanaungo Circles of Majitha, Kathunangal and Pakhar which include 31 patwar circles at their door steps whereas earlier people had to travel to Amritsar for these services,” he said.
He said this would also create more direct and indirect job opportunities for youth of the area and all segments of the society would benefit in a big way from this development.
Majithia said that Majitha city, which has been developed as model city, will now achieve more heights of prosperity and development. “Before 2007, people started migrating from Majitha, but now the scene has totally changed with development of the city made by Akali-BJP Government and now people prefer to stay here and are flourishing their businesses here,” he said.
