The Haryana units of the CPI (M) and the CPI have
decided to hold block level protest actions during July 16-27 all over
the State on the issue of food security and other burning problems
including failure of the recently set up thermal power plants in Khedar
and Yamunanagar leading to acute power and water crisis.
CPI (M) State secretary Inderjit Singh and CPI State secretary Daryao Singh Kashyap told
that a joint meeting was held in Rohtak where it was underlined that the
system of remunerative price of crop for farmers was entirely dependent
on making the public distribution system fully universal rather than a
targeted one as sought by the United Progressive Alliance regime in the
proposed Food Security Bill.
The Left Parties have
also demanded a thorough probe in the “most grave case of sub-standard
machinery and equipment used in the thermal power plants in Khedar and
Yamunanagar.
“Only through an impartial inquiry can
the persons responsible for alleged corruption be severely punished,’’
Mr. Singh asserted.
The Haryana Government was not
coming out with reasonable explanation even as the people were reeling
under acute scarcity of power and water all over the State. “The
continued silence of the government over the failure of the power plants
is intriguing,’’ he added. Problems related to the MGNREGA, residential
plots and worsening crime situation would also be focused upon during
the forthcoming mass campaign, he added.
