BJP to oppose corporation for Ambala
Ambala, February 27 Elaborating on the party point of view, Anil Vij, leader of the BJP Legislature Party, the party would oppose the move, as it was the brainchild of the Congress and would be against the interests of the people of both Ambala City and Ambala Cantt. Anil said: “There was 10 km distance between Ambala City and Ambala Cantt and if the proposed municipal corporation had its office in the administrative complex at Ambala City, residents of Ambala Cantt would be put to great difficulty. Similarly, if the office of the proposed corporation was located at Ambala Cantt, people of Ambala City would face difficulty. Elaborating on the negative aspects of the idea of having a municipal corporation for Ambala City and Ambala Cantt, Vij said the two towns had a different set of problems. “If the Mayor of the proposed corporation was from Ambala City, he would be
biased against Ambala Cantt and the situation would be vice-versa. The development of one of the two towns was thus likely to be adversely affected,” he added. Vij said that people of Ambala Cantt had already been suffering ever since the district courts were shifted to Ambala City. He said that the proposal could wait till the two towns had the required population and there were separate municipal corporations for Ambala City and Ambala Cantt. He said his party favoured grant of municipal corporation status to towns, which had the required population. |
