Chandigarh, May 6

INDIA candidate for Chandigarh parliamentary constituency Manish Tewari today promised to put an end to continuous harassment suffered by about two lakh people living in Chandigarh Housing Board colonies by enacting a specific law.

“They deserve to live in peace,” he said while assuring end to their continuous harassment.

Notably, several occupants had done modifications or made need-based changes in their houses for which they have been getting notices from the housing board.

Interacting with a delegation of the Housing Board occupants here today, Tewari said the INDIA government would bring a parliamentary act for one-time settlement on Delhi pattern for all the pending issues to ensure that there was no undue harassment faced by the residents.

The former union minister observed that it was unfortunate that the issue has been hanging fire for such a long time. He said there would be a complete end to bureaucratic and clerical harassment of the residents. “You deserve to live in peace free from any clerical hassle or harassment,” he assured the residents, who wanted that there should be one-time settlement on the Delhi pattern.

Tewari participated in a ‘padyatra’ in Sector 37 organised by councilor Jasbir Singh Bunty, BM Khanna and Devraj. During the ‘padyatra’, Tewari met local residents, shopkeepers, traders and youth and listened to their issues.
