Mayor forms panel to
remove encroachments Ludhiana, October 21 Giving details to Ludhiana Tribune, Mr Gill said besides Mr Jai Parkash, Mr Sat Pal Puri, Mr Kuldip Janda and Mr Rakesh Parashar, all from Congress, Mr Harbhajan Singh Dang, group leader of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal), Mr Bhairaj Singh (Akali Dal), Mr Rajiv Katna (BJP) and Mr Satnam Singh Ahuja (Independent) have been nominated members of the sub- committee. The councillors, accompanied by respective Zonal Commissioners, Assistant Town Planners of the zones concerned and superintendent of Tehbazari wing, will not only report on temporary and permanent encroachments, but will also be associated with the clearing operations. Mr Gill, who had returned from a 10-day trip of China, Thailand and Hong Kong only a couple of days ago, expressed his commitment to make the industrial hub of Punjab a model city and a better place to live in. He vowed that the MC would do its best to improve the level of basic civic amenities in the city. “With the availability of adequate funds, we can go ahead with major development projects and create better infrastructure for the city population, check the menace of encroachments, both temporary and permanent, which tend to negate the work done by the civic body. While the population and the number of vehicles is increasing, the roads, service lanes and streets are becoming narrower due to all sorts of temporary and permanent structures being put up on footpaths and vacant spaces even on busy crossings.” The Mayor further maintained that the MC did not want to deprive the poor rehri-phariwallahs and other small traders of their means of employment. “But at the same time we have a greater responsibility towards the residents of the city. We have to provide a reasonably good civic governance which includes unhindered movement of traffic, regulated parking and encroachment-free footpaths, roads and streets”. |
