Member of Parliament from Bathinda, Harsimrat Kaur Badal today announced that all towns and villages in her constituency, which were suffering from deadly diseases like cancer due to contaminated groundwater, would get the ultra modern reverse osmosis (RO) plants installed by October 30, next year.
Addressing public meetings after inaugurating a number of RO systems here today, she flayed the Congress should as Bathinda and Mansa districts were suffering from the bane of cancer because the Congress allegedly played into the hands of the ‘pesticides lobby’ and turned a blind eye to the uncontrolled use of pesticides in this region.
She claimed it was the SAD-BJP government that took steps to get Malwa rid of the curse of contaminated water by installing RO systems in each village and more than 500 villages had already been covered under the project.
Harsimrat said she had written a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to immediately sanction a cancer institute in Bathinda on the pattern of AIIMS and a special project to deal with the underground water problem of Malwa region without any delay.
She urged the Punjab Congress leaders to rise above the party lines and press upon their Central leadership for the noble cause.
The MP also inaugurated five RO plants at village Chak Bhaike, Uddat Saidewala, Malikpur Bhimra, Alampur Mandran and Kashampur Chhina, besides distributing development grants worth Rs 50 lakh to seven villages during her sangat darshan and inaugurating water works at village Malikpur Bhimra.
