I find Jodhpur with astounding potential, says Anil Panwar, an Independent Assembly Election Candidate from Jodhpur City
Anil
Panwar- A young entrepreneur from Jodhpur, who has made quite a name for his
company 'Rajan Amplifiers' in the field of events, is counted amongst the top
light & sound vendors in Rajasthan. Born in a humble middle class Indian
family, his persona is a reflection of his simple upbringing, as he dedicates
his success solely to the blessings of his parents. It is his grounded
background & love from all sections of the society, he surfaced a desire to
fight this year's assembly elections in Jodhpur; thereby giving it back to the
city & its people who never faded from his vision.
Having
been raised in Jodhpur, Anil's work hasn't only built his financial and social
standing but has also made him a very popular name amongst the youth.
His
decision to contest independently from the Jodhpur City in the forthcoming
Rajasthan Assembly Elections, shows his strong intentions to not go by any
political party and to do some genuinely good work at the grass- root level for
the youth of Jodhpur. All by himself!
In his
words, "Despite both the key Indian political parties have been
alternatively into governance in Rajasthan from last 20 years, Jodhpur stands
still when it comes to development. The local MLA's talk of issues raising a
concern at the country's level while they are just representing an assembly.
They create a divide between the people on the basis of religion & caste
& eventually after winning, never turn back to their assembly. I want to
change this. I am focused only towards the betterment of my city at large as
that’s what I am meant to do if I am chosen by the people. I want to raise the
local issues at the grass-root level. My election symbol Mike, not only
reflects my professional identity but it also represents the voice of the
people that I am going to take to the government."
With a
fresh whirl of ideas and intentions, Anil is a man of purpose, who will not let
anything or anyone affect his vision to build a 'Better Jodhpur'. He is
completely focused towards the delivery
of fundamental facilities to the residents of Jodhpur & seek to introduce
new-age measures to drastically improvise on the existing infrastructure &
govt. services.
It is
refreshing to see someone adopting simplicity as the way of life, connecting
with the people on one-to-one basis, yet keeping a modern vision to transform
his city into a 'World Class Destination'
In
conversation with 'The Feature TV', Anil Panwar, the independent candidate from
Jodhpur raised some of the persisting issues of his assembly & crystallized
his take on it:
Key
Issue:Electricity
wire mesh across all the residential and commercial areas of the old city prove
to be fatal for the residents.
Anil
Panwar: To
ensure the security, underground electrical cabling is one of my priorities.
Key Issue:Unhygienic and irregular water supply in most of the areas.
Anil
Panwar: To ensure proper filtration &
supply of potable water!
Key
Issue:Due to
rains, most of the roads are damaged and full of puddles, causing immense
discomfort for the people to drive smoothly and safely. This has also resulted in
various mishaps and accidents on roads.
Anil
Panwar: Making
the roads that are solid and sturdy is one of the many priorities. A major step
towards reducing accidents that take place on Jodhpur roads!
Key
Issue: A lot
of stray cows and animals on roads is a major concern these days. This
situation leads to various accidents and traffic jams. Also, such animals are
not adopted by people as pets; therefore are left on the road to die due to
malnutrition.
Anil
Panwar:To
provide an animal- home for all stray animals in Jodhpur City!
Key
Issue: Frequent
incidents of chain- snatching & theft in the city have sprouted fear and insecurity
amongst the residents of Jodhpur.
Anil
Panwar: Advocating
the deployment of home- guards to the major commercial and residential colonies
of the city.
Key
Issue: There
were days when the step- wells of Jodhpur were solely responsible for
providing fresh drinking water to the people of the city! Today they all
are on the verge of break-down due to lack of maintenance.
Anil
Panwar: To re-store these step- wells back into their original state by proper
and regular maintenance keeping in loop the local Municipal Corporation, Archeological department, UNESCO & other environmental authorities.
Key
Issue:During
rains, we all witness the intensity and volume of rain- water on the roads, and
it’s no hidden fact that the entire city is water clogged! Such situations
take place every monsoons and results in heavy traffic jams and fatal accidents
on the roads!
Anil
Panwar: Provision
of systematic water evacuation through better sewerage facility to relieve the people from this huge problem!
Key
Issue: The
condition of abandoned old monuments and houses in Jodhpur city is so diverse
that they can collapse anytime and result into casualties.
Anil
Panwar:Prioritizing
the regular maintenance of such buildings and taking
appropriate action for the same.
Key
Issue: As much
are studies important for the natural growth of the children, the sports are a
vital constituent too! In the absence of playgrounds, the children are forced
to play on the roads. This situation is likely to invite many accidents to
happen!
Anil
Panwar: Arranging
appropriate playgrounds for the children according to the areas!
Key
Issue:Despite
of the fact that Jodhpur is widely recognized as a prominent 'Tourist Destination' on the world map, reckoned for its cultural
and historical heritage, the Government is still practicing age-old methods for promoting
tourism in the city.
Anil
Panwar: Organizing
creative events for the next generation in coherence with the global standards to boost this major livelihood lifeline of Jodhpur.
Looking
at his run & devotion to address the real domestic issues, it won't be
surprising if Jodhpur echoes to the sound of "Anil Apna Hai"
