Amritsar, January 4

Members of the Nagar Nigam Class IV Union served an ultimatum on Senior Deputy Mayor Raman Bakshi and District Congress Committee president Jatinder Sonia to take back their words pertaining to safai karamcharis, otherwise, they would throw garbage in front of their houses on January 6.

Vinod Bitta of the union said: Raman Bakshi had accused union members of illegally occupying offices. Flaying the allegations, he said elected leaders were there for only five years, while they had been working here for the past two to three decades.

Another union leader Surinder Tona accused councillors of collecting 30 per cent commission out of the projects. He said Jatinder Sonia, before asking for the dope test of Safai Karamcharis, must have conducted the same of their male family members.

Raman Bakshi said whosoever is found involved in collecting commission would be penalised. He said whatever he had stated was duly recorded during the meeting of the house held on December 31.

Jatinder Sonia said no family member of hers was employed in the corporation so they don’t qualify for the test. She said she had just forwarded the idea to utilise the government’s scheme of Nasha Mukt Punjab.
