Ludhiana, December 28

During the zero hour of the MC’s House meeting on Tuesday, Leader of Opposition in MC House Jaspal Singh Giaspura said no compromise should be made with the quality of roads.

Raising questions, he highlighted how some recently recarpeted/reconstructed roads got damaged within a short period of time. He demanded that a committee must be formed to keep a check on the quality of roads works.

He sought a vigilance probe into agreements that the MC had signed with a private contractor for providing data operator service. He said it has come to light that the private contractor is not fulfilling the tender conditions but he has been allowed to provide services twice. He also highlighted the issue of waste management as the MC failed to ensure waste processing.

Mayor Balkar Singh Sandhu assured that the MC will ensure waste processing soon.

Broken manhole covers

Though no discussion was conducted on major issues of the city, a number of councillors alleged that the broken manhole covers are not being replaced in their respective wards. Also, some councillors were seen exchanging arguments on the issue.

Mayor Balkar Singh Sandhu then informed that 700 manhole covers are available in different zones. He also fixed the responsibility of O&M Branch officials.

Washing cars on roads

Councillor Pankaj Kakka demanded from the House to take action against those who are found washing cars on roads. He said the move will help to save water.
