Sirsa \/ Chandigarh \/ December\u00a031<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The demand to develop the Sirsa\u2013Ellenabad\u2013Hanumangarh road as a National Highway has once again gained momentum. In this connection, All India Congress Committee General Secretary, former Union Minister, and Sirsa MP Kumari Selja has written a letter to Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, seeking a feasibility study and preparation of a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the route. In her letter to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, Kumari Selja said this road is a very important connectivity route linking the border areas of Haryana and Rajasthan. Granting it National Highway status would significantly benefit agriculture, logistics, trade activities, and industrial development in the region. At present, the narrow road causes serious difficulties in movement, resulting in major hardships for farmers and traders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MP Kumari Selja said the Sirsa, Ellenabad, and Hanumangarh regions are primarily agriculture-based, with large-scale production of crops such as cotton, wheat, and mustard. Due to inadequate road infrastructure, farmers incur higher costs and delays in transporting their produce to markets. With National Highway development, not only will transportation become smoother, but investment in sectors such as cold storage, warehousing, and food processing will also receive a boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kumari Selja said this route could be linked to the proposed Bikaner\u2013Chandigarh Industrial Corridor and the Bharatmala Project, giving fresh momentum to industrial and border areas of North India. She also emphasized that the route is strategically important, as it connects areas close to the international border. The MP urged the Union Minister to initiate a feasibility study and DPR at the earliest in the public interest so that the road can be developed as a National Highway. People of the region have welcomed Kumari Selja\u2019s initiative and expressed hope that the demand will be fulfilled soon, giving a new direction to regional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
:-The Vacant posts for reserved categories are against the spirit of the Constitution:-Kumari Selja<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expressing deep concern over the teacher recruitment crisis, Kumari Selja said the current selection process of the Haryana Public Service Commission is weakening the state\u2019s education system. Due to the mandatory requirement of 35 percent qualifying marks, thousands of eligible candidates\u2014many of whom hold PhDs, NET qualifications, and years of experience are being excluded from selection. This is causing the greatest harm to educationally backward regions like Sirsa, which already suffer from a severe shortage of teachers. Kumari Selja said the vacant posts meant for reserved categories go against the spirit of the Constitution. If the government truly wants to reform education, it must immediately abolish impractical policies such as \u201cNot Found Suitable.\u201d Filling all posts, providing opportunities to qualified candidates, and strengthening the education system is the government\u2019s responsibility. She warned that if a decision is not taken soon, the Congress party will raise this issue forcefully from the streets to the legislature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
