A plight of a senior bureaucrat of an Uttarakhand village in Garhwal highlighting the negligence and govt apathy in various works. Kind attention Uttarakhand CM !

Subhash Badola

I am Subhash Chander Badola a resident of village Badolgaon, vikas khand Pokhra, Tahseel Satpuli, Uttrakhand. The above said location comes under Chaubattakhal Assembly constituency and Mr.Satpal maharaj is the local MLA. Shri Satpal is also PWD Minister in Government of Uttrakhand. I got superannuated in 2020 from Airports Authority of India as Joint General Manager ( Air Traffic Control).

Having love to my native state and birth place i frequently visit my above said village and have a zeal & enthusiasm to do some welfare activities in my village. There are many burning issues connected not only with my village but also with all the hilly villages in uttrakhand.

Road, education and health services are the issues which always demoralize many who intend to do something for their state.

1.The motor road from Jhabera to Village Jajedi under Pradhan Mantri Grameen sarak yojna ( PMGSY ) was approved in December, 2012. The said road was completed in 2015 without meeting all the desired specifications.
The massive damage to the road due to heavy rains and land slides during last 10 years was never taken care, consequently plying of vehicles on this hilly track has become life thretening for the commuters. A bridge costing about nine crores was also built over poorvi nayaar ( river ) connecting badalpur & kolagaad. The road damaged was never repaired despite several promises by the local MLA Sh. Satpal maharaj. The MLA was last seen before the assembly elections and befooled the innocent villagers with many promises.

The above said road needs daamrikaran and proper repair works. I tried to contact CM portal but couldn’t get connected. The gram pradhan is either not bothered or qualified enough to take this issue with the concerned authorities. The horrible condition of the road was also brought to the notice of the government through a daily leading newspaper but the deaf & dumb government kept silent.

  1. There is a middle school in Pathol gaon just around 4 kilometers from village Badolgaon ( under the same vikas khand ) where 5 teachers are deployed against a strength of only 5 children. It is not understood why the Uttrakhand government has closed its eyes on such wastage of manpower and money.
  2. Har ghar nal / har ghar jal is a dream for the villagers. There is no progress on BARSUND DEV peya jal yojna which is supposed to provide drinking water through pumping to a big number of villages.

The government of uttrakhand has failed to provide basic facilities to the villagers which is a root cause of migration from the state.
This plight is not only mine but there are many uttrakhandis like me. I am also attached to an organization ( uttrayani ) of serving and retired class one officers of government of india and government PSU which takes care of many welfare works but the infrastructure in undeveloped villages becomes a big challange to reach out to the villagers of remote villages.

This pain is not only mine but there are many uttrakhandis like me. I am also attached to an organization ( uttrayani ) of serving and retired class one officers of government of india and government PSU which takes care of many welfare works but the infrastructure in undeveloped villages becomes a big challange to reach out to the villagers of remote villages.

Villagers are still optimistic that there life will improve with proper maintenance of roads, supply of potable water, better medical facilities.

The concerned ministers never visit the villages under their constituencies nor they are reachable on phone.

Hoping that still the government will wake up and look into above mentioned issues under the vision / mission “”SABKA SAATH SABKA VIKAS”” of Hon’ble prime minister of india.
