Mohali Deputy Mayor meets Governor

Mohali Deputy Mayor Kuljit Singh Bedi today met Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria. He submitted two memorandums to the Governor, seeking resolution of issues related to public transport and higher education in Mohali.

Through the first memorandum, Bedi sought establishment of a college or a regional centre affiliated with Panjab University in Mohali. He said Mohali, being an integral part of the tricity and one of the fastest-developing cities in Punjab, still lacks any college affiliated with Panjab University.

He requested the Governor to establish a college or regional centre in Mohali, to review the existing 85:15 quota system between Chandigarh and Punjab students, and to set up a joint committee between the UT Administration and the Punjab Government that could devise a fair and sustainable solution.

Bedi also suggested that the new centre be named after late Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, a proud son of Punjab and an alumnus of Punjab University. Through the second memorandum, Bedi informed Governor about the need for a “Greater Mohali City Bus Service”. He said the present CTU service was insufficient for the city.
