Ludhiana, September 4

After a meeting with the Local Government Department authorities in Chandigarh today, Mayor Balkar Singh Sandhu said Principal Secretary (Local Government) AK Sinha has given a month’s time to the private company that looks after the LED street lights project to improve its services.

A delegation of the Municipal Corporation, Ludhiana, led by the Mayor, Commissioner Pardeep Kumar Sabharwal, MC Officials and some councillors, attended the meeting with the Local Government Department authorities today. Officials of Tata Projects Limited were also present.

The Mayor said they discussed issues related to the LED street lights. The Principal Secretary has given directions to the company to improve the services and fix the LED street lights at missing points within a month.

Meanwhile, Inder Aggarwal, a BJP leader who attended the meeting on Saturday, said: “We raised the matter that the MC and the firm should follow agreement conditions. The situation during the tenure of Tata Projects Limited is better than in the past when some private contractors used to maintain old street lights. The firm has been told to install 15 per cent new lights in the city and it should be paid for the same as per the agreement. We want the MC and the firm should obey the conditions of the agreement so that residents would not suffer.” — TNS
