PROBLEMS OF BHAKHRA DAM AUSTEES.

During 1960 years of Independent India the Central Government constructed Bhakhra Dam at Bhakhra-Nangal which is the biggest in the history of independent India. It gives electricity to the nation. The reservours of water from the Dam is being supplied to the entire Punjab and Haryana and some other states. The people of Bilaspur H.P. and Hamirpur have lost their precious land which submerged in the dam water. The old Bilaspur township and its precious temple of Satyug, Tareta and Dawapur have also been submerged into the dam water. The people who have lost their homes and precious land have not yet been connected with the facilties of Roads, Hospitals, Schools, water supply schemes ,Electricity three phase and other daily required facilities. Every party Government which rule the State of Himachal Pradesh such as The Congress and the Bhartya Janta Party, at the time of elections of the Parliament and Vidhan Sabha had been promissing the effected people of all these facilities but after winning the elections nothing is being done till now to them. The Previous Congress Government headed by Mr. Vir Bhadra Singh, had inaugurated the construction of two more Sectors for the austees at Bilapsur ( Village Bamta and Badhyat) but after the defeat of the party during 2007-08 Vidhan Sabha Elections, the Government has been formed by the B.J.P. headed by Professor Prem Kumar Dhumal as its Chief Minister. The scheme and proposal for the construction of these two sectors, has since been stopped and the effected people have been thrown at the mercy of almighty God. All the major schemes of creating Industrial areas, setting up of Educational Institutions, Training Institutions , Medical Collages, are being created in Una, Hamirpur, Kangra and Mandi Districts. The Central Place of whole of the Himachal Pradesh falls at Bilapsur and its surroundings but the Central and State Governments are not doing any thing in this District. The construction of roads, providing irrigation facilities, three phase electricity, drinking water and other developmental schemes are ignored from this District. No big project is being installed. The educated un-employed youths are frustrated. The rich are becoming richer and the poors are becoming poorers. It is emphasised to the Central as also the State Government to act above party lines and provide every facility to the public of Bilaspur District particularly and Bhakhra Dam Austees specially.
