Ludhiana, June 28
A day after Mayor Balkar Singh Sandhu announced that the Municipal Corporation (MC) had decided to restore exemption of houses up to 125 sq yards from levy of water supply and sewerage charges, leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) demanded that he should bring a resolution in this regard at the House meeting.
The BJP city unit head, Pushpendra Singhal, said, “Till a resolution to restore exemption is not brought in the MC House, the BJP will continue its agitation.” The party has also demanded reduction in hiked water supply and sewer charges.
Opposing hike in water supply and sewer tariff and privatisation of the recovery drive, leaders and worker of the BJP today staged protests outside houses of Congress councillors in the city.
“In ward 95, Congress’ Gurcharan Deepa abused protesting BJP workers. In another ward, husband of Congress councillor Manisha Tapadia misbehaved with party workers and tore their placards during protest today,” alleged Singhal.
BJP leader Inder Aggarwal has also demanded reduction in water supply and sewer charges, hiked recently.
