Chandigarh, December 14

Intensifying its poll campaign, the city Congress launched a series of “nukkad nataks” today.

These plays, which are a satire on the “misdeeds of the BJP perpetrated during the past six years”, were held at the Sector 17 Plaza, Sector 20-B, Dariya and Daddu Majra villages.

“The Congress volunteers gave voice to people’s anguish on account of poor sanitary conditions in the city. It is a matter of shame that the ranking of the city, which was known for its excellent civic standards the world over, has now nosedived to 66 in the country in terms of sanitation and cleanliness. The rising mountain of garbage at Daddu Majra besides heaps of garbage scattered all over the city came up as a special mention in the report,” said a Congress leader.

“The artistes also highlighted the hardships faced by the masses on account of unbridled inflation. They also highlighted rampant corruption in the corporation in the past six years besides the mismanagement of community parking in the city,” he added.
