cr Panchkula, September 16 It may be noted that Chandigarh Tribune had reported on September 11 that National Highways branch of Public Works Department has decided to stall the widening of the Panchkula-Surajpur road for the time being. A sum of Rs 8 crore had been allocated for this work in the annual plan and this 8 kms stretch of road was to be widened on priority basis because of heavy traffic flow. The Deputy Commissioner, Ms Jyoti Arora, said that work on widening this stretch of the National Highway would now be taken up in the next financial year. Giving details of other important projects under progress or likely to be started in the district, she said that NH- 73 from Panchkula-Shajadpur- Saha road is being widened to 10

Dispute over HUDA staff resolved Panchkula, September 16 According to information available, the Chief Administrator, HUDA , Mr N.C. Wadhwa, today ordered the transfer of sanitation work and work on the maintenance of streetlights to the Municipal Council within the MC limits here. However, he said the issue of transfer of staff for these two departments ( a total of 43 ) would be discussed only after the posts for Municipal Council had been sanctioned. It may be noted that HUDA and the council had been at loggerheads for the past few weeks over the issue of the transfer of staff. While HUDA wanted a total of 37 employees of the sanitation wing and six of the electrical wing to be transferred to the MC, the latter said that no posts had been sanctioned to it and, thus, they could not accept this staff. Municipal Council officials had also argued that they wanted to privatise the sanitation work and the maintenance of streetlights, so that the staff would not be required. Moreover, of the 549 posts originally sanctioned for MC by the HUDA authorities, only 104 posts had been given the approval by the Finance Department. MC officials have said that they planned to privatise most works within its limits here so as to make the optimum use of the staff. It has now been decided to transfer the two departments to the MC , but the terms and conditions of this transfer will be worked out later. |
