NURMAHAL
Even after 16 years block primary education office (BPEO) building at Chuheki village on the Nurmahal-Jalandhar Road is incomplete. The then Nurmahal MLA late Gurdeep Singh Bhullar persuaded the village Chuheki panchayat to donate 2 kanals of land to the primary education department for the construction of an office building as it was unable to find any land in Nurmahal town for its own office.
The then Jalandhar deputy commissioner Ajit Singh Pannu and Bhullar jointly laid the foundation stone for the construction of the block primary education office building in July 2007and the government released Rs 7 lakhs for the same. Rs 3 lakhs grant was released later as the building could not be completed.
Though the building has been completed, the block primary education office has not been shifted here and has become a place for anti-social elements and drug addicts. Now it is a place for stray animals and a place for storing cow dung cakes.
Block Education Officer (Primary) said that the building is not safe, and we have no watchman, as a result, the office could not be shifted there.
