Roll back property tax hike, says BJP
The city BJP has demanded immediate rollback of increase in property tax.
Mayor Harpreet Kaur Babla today presided over an emergency meeting on the matter. It was attended by city BJP president Jatinder Pal Malhotra, vice-presidents Devinder Singh Babla and Jagtar Singh Jagga, along with the party councillors.
All BJP councillors strongly opposed the hike in property tax imposed by the Chandigarh Administration. They said the decision was taken without the House approval.
“We strongly oppose this unjustified tax hike, which has been implemented without proper consultation and approval. This decision puts undue financial burden on the citizens of Chandigarh, and we demand its immediate rollback,” the councillors said.
The BJP leaders urged the MC and the administration to focus on cutting costs and improving efficiency instead of burdening citizens with higher taxes.
