On this occasion, the Sarpanch of village Ramgarh, Raj Kumar Saini, demanded the construction of a shed on the land allotted by HUDA for the cremation ground, in Sector 28. He said the provision for the shed should be made by HUDA itself or through the allocation of some funds. Referring to the demand for speed breakers on the village crossroads, the DC said that it cannot be done because of the village being on the National Highway. The Sarpanch also demanded the setting-up of examination centres for the students of class 10 and 12, as according to him, students of these classes had to go to Barwala for appearing in their exams. The DC assured that steps in this direction would be taken.
