BJP slams MC over notices to residents

Ludhiana, June 18

Leaders of the BJP’s city unit accused Municipal Corporation (MC) officials of sending “wrong” notices regarding construction of buildings, without checking the MC records.

After obtaining the records of the new electricity meters from the PSPCL, the MC has started sending notices to those persons, who had got new power meters installed, that their building construction is illegal but without checking the MC records, the leaders alleged.

A delegation of BJP leaders, including Parveen Bansal, Inder Aggarwal and others, raised the matter before MTP SS Bindra today and demanded that the notices must be revoked. Bansal said the MC had issued 16,000 such notices without checking any records due to which residents were facing harassment.

A BJP leader, Inder Aggarwal, said: “Notices have also been issued to those who had constructed their houses about 40 years ago. The officials are threatening people to present the construction records before the MC, otherwise action would be taken against them.” — TNS
