F&CC tells 19 bodies to
stall own sewage plants Chandigarh, March 14 In a marathon five-and-a-half hour meeting, the committee disposed of all agenda items before it. The committee invited the paid parking contractor to hear his grievances and asked him to pay the instalment amount before the committee goes into the problems of all sections of society, including the contractor. Meanwhile, the Assistant Commissioner-I extended the time of the contractor to deposit money by tomorrow. Members expressed their dismay at the information provided by officials on the differences of terms of contract during different periods. The committee on paid parking will be formed out of five non-official members of the F&CC, which will file its report within a week if the contractor deposited the amount due in due course. The committee will also hear the viewpoint of the contractor who today said that there had been arbitrary changes in the conditions causing him loss. The committee on taxi operators will be formed by the Mayor in couple of days to individually fix parking fee on them at different rates considering their needs. The report of the committee will be submitted by the end of the month. The PGI, Panjab University, Pfizer, MCM DAV College, SD College-32, DAV College, Chandigarh Bottling Company, Institute of Microbiology and Technology, Punjab Engineering College, Government Medical College and Hospital, Housing Board. Government College for Girls, Sector-46, and Government College for Men, Sector-46, GCG Sector-11, GCM, Sector-11, Home Science College and The Tribune will have to set up their own sewage treatment plants worth around Rs 20 lakh. The F&CC decided that these institutions and the new ones in the future which are using 200 kilolitre will have to set up these plants in lieu of relaxation to them in sewerage charge for saving the city water and lessening pressure on the sewerage treatment arrangements of the city. These plants will result in less bills of these organisations as out of 200 kilolitre, 100 kilolitre will be treated and will cost them no charge. The committee also decided to slap a rent of Rs 30,000 on ahatas and increased the rent from Rs 10,000 per month to Rs 20,000 and from 15,000 to 30,000 on those 17 liquor vends which are functioning from municipal land. The committee approved to pay Rs 25,000 to an expert from Bangalore on vermi-compost to give a demonstration on managing solid waste of the city. Sanitation contracts, purchase of 100 garbage bins, bus queue shelters and BOT toilets on a private basis were approved by the committee, along with other agenda items with an increase in the rates of BOT licences. The committee asked the sanitation contractor to give a list of those to be deployed in different areas. |
