Mayor, Senior Dy Mayor at
loggerheads Faridabad, June 19 The Mayor, Mr Devender Bhadana, has charged the Senior Deputy Mayor, Mr Shiv Charan Lal Sharma, with corruption. He (the Mayor) recently called a press conference and produced some documents in support of his allegations. He said an FIR would be lodged with the police in connection with alleged ‘fraud’ in construction of a road. He claimed that about Rs 1.75 lakh was ‘misappropriated’ in connection with approval of the road and said without the involvement of local Municipal Commissioner, it was not possible. The Mayor has also charged that the signatures of a senior official were also forged to get estimate of a road passed for second time. The Mayor and his supporters had reportedly met the Chief Minister, Mr Om Prakash Chautala, during his visit here yesterday, to seek his intervention and to get a case registered. But no case has been booked so far against anyone in this regard. On the other hand, the Senior Deputy Mayor and his supporters have described the charges levelled against him as baseless. They claimed it was aimed at defaming him. While Mr Sharma could not be contacted as he was reported to be out of station, one of his supporters (councillor) said a conspiracy had been hatched against Mr Sharma, but claimed that it would not get through. The corporation has 25 elected councillors but two seats are lying vacant at present. |
