The victory marks a dramatic reversal for Congress, whose strength in the civic body has fallen from 15 councillors to just one
Ropar Municipal Council's plan to include 16 villages within city limits faced strong opposition, forcing a hold on the resolution. Villagers fear loss of rural benefits and increased taxes without improved services. The MC will reconsider the proposal only with village consent, citing commercial development and revenue concerns as motivations.
Municipal council members in Ropar district fear increased delays in project approvals. Power to approve resolutions is now with the administrative secretary, causing concern. Ropar and Nangal councils have projects worth crores awaiting approval for years, impacting city upkeep and development.
