A protest that was led by the local MLA Mr. Tilak Raj Behar was taken out in transit camp against the non-issuing of Rashan cards to the residents of location. According to the protestors, the local population is facing problems, due to lack of rashan card and are unable to get food at cheaper rates, which are available only to the public that holds valid rashan cards. The state BJP Government was blamed for this problem by the protestors.

It has been a long time since Rudrapur has seen a drastic change in itself. Let’s assess it on different parameters and see where we stand as a city today

 

Job Opportunities

 

Why I am starting with this is because this is what keeps our daily bread and better going. The city has grown tremendously in providing job opportunities to all sectors of public and has become a known name in the state as a hub for employment opportunities.

In the past we have had so many instances of accidents involving tractor and trollies and the latest to add to this list is another accident, where a speeding tractor killed two kids, who were on their way to tuitions.

The city and its vicinity have been having a harrowing time with these tractors and trollies. The situation has been worsening all these years and with SIDCUL's growth, it just went from bad to worse.

The biggest problem with these tractor trollies is that they over speed inside residential areas without taking into consideration the population which stay in that area. Furthermore, none of these vehicles have a proper backlight or they are overloaded, which lead to their imbalance on the road.

PNB’s General Manager A.K Verma inaugurated the new branch of Punjab National Bank at Nainital Road in Rudrapur on February 11. He reported that 5,214 branches of PNB are working in the country successfully in which 180 branches are giving convincing services to the consumers in the state.  All the branches have been provided with ATM facility and are doing very well on business front.

 According to him the company aims at a target of 6 lac crore business investments in this current financial year. On this occasion, many financial, loan, investment and banking plans of PNB have been disclosed by the bank executives to sort out the confusions and queries of the consumers.

 The inauguration programme was joined by some prominent figures like the  Bank Chief, Naveen Kumar, the Chief Manager R.K Singhal, R.C Saxena, Harminder Singh along with other bank officials.

It has been long since Rudrapur transformed from a sleeping town to a city that become the toast of real estate market. I can still recall the time when we would got to railway station of Rudrapur and it looked like a haunted station, which has just come out from one of those old hindi movies with the famous song Gumnaam Hai Koi playing in the back ground. Jokes apart, the city witnesses such a tremendous growth in such a short span that everyone was taken by surprise.

Real estate agents raked in lot of moolah and every one could see a city on the lines of Gurgaon. I know I am exaggerating a bit but that is how real estate guys sold the land to the common man. Coming to the million dollar question: “what went wrong???”

By now you would have framed million answers to my question and can definitely post all of them in the comments section at the bottom of this article.
