During the installation ceremony at the MC office, Punjab Health Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu, Revenue Minister Gurpreet singh Kangar, Punjab Youth Congress president Brinder Dhillon, Dera Bassi Congress in-charge Deepinder Singh Dhillon and Mohali Mayor Amarjit Singh Sidhu were present.

Udayvir said: “Development is my main agenda and my main focus will be freshwater supply, garbage management and its disposal and checking and curbing illegal construction. I will try to move Zirakpur towards the era of planned development.”

Over 200 persons were present during the ceremony. On being asked about the crowding, the Punjab Health Minister had an interesting take on flouting social distancing norms. He replied: “Khushi ke pal enjoy karne chahiye (We should celebrate the moments of happiness).”
