End of an era 🙏🏼
I belong to a place (Sukhna Ablu) which falls in his traditional family constituency of Gidderbaha. We have seen him transform from a simple village man to a big politician & landlord in a few decades. He is the man who brought primary amenities of modern life including electricity, pucca roads, bus service etc to our village. I remember him as a pioneer who built a small library in our school and encouraged us to read books and newspapers.
He used to accompany Sant Fateh Singh often camping at night in our school. We have seen the first electric bulb glittering probably in 1974-75. The region of this part of Malwa (my ancestral place) was backward and it was due to his efforts that the region saw the first signs of progress in education, transport and infrastructure like industrial focal points, pucca khals and deep water pumps.
However, the things took a turn in the mid nineties onwards, where he started moving away from his roots.
Whatsoever, we the people of Sukhna- Doda-Kotbhai area will never forget his postive intervention.
