It’s ex-mayor vs woman lawyer
Ludhiana, August 2
It is going to be a tough contest in ward No. 56 between sitting councillor Amrit Varsha Rampal of the Congress and former mayor Apinder Singh Grewal of the
SAD-BJP alliance. Probably the “elitist” of all wards, as it comprises posh Sarabha Nagar and Gurdev Nagar localities, it deserves a well-qualified representative.
While Rampal is a practising lawyer and notary public, Grewal has done his master’s in geography, and is a versatile and outstanding sportsman.
