Villagers in Rewari district have waited more than six months for construction to begin on a promised Ayurvedic institute after ending a 320-day protest, tribuneindia.com reported. Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini visited the protest site on May 2 to secure the shutdown of the agitation, which involved residents from Ramgarh and Bhagwanpur.
Land Transfer Proposal Awaits Official Notification
The proposed institute is slated for eight acres of panchayat land at Bhagwanpur village along National Highway-71. Sources indicated that a proposal to transfer this plot from the Panchayat Department to the Health Department was initiated, but officials have not yet issued a formal notification for the transfer. We are eagerly awaiting the commencement of work on the project,
said Hament Yadav, a member of the Ramgarh-Bhagwanpur Hospital Banao Sangharsh Committee.
