ATP’s arrest worsens MC staff woes
Ludhiana, August 13 The “corrupt” practices adopted by many officials in the building branch are often brought to the notice of higher-ups. It is due to the “connivance” of certain officials with the defaulters that hundreds of illegal buildings have mushroomed in the city in recent times. Bankey Bihari had allegedly demanded Rs 1.5 lakh from a resident, who was constructing a building illegally. An RTI activist, Rohit Sabharwal, said everyone was familiar with the rampant corruption in the building branch. This was the major reason that RTIs were filed continuously to expose this corruption. Commissioner for more stringent steps
The Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, Pradeep Aggarwal, said corruption would not be tolerated. “We have adopted several stringent measures. The recent transfers in the building branch were aimed at sending a message in this direction. Though we try to keep a tab on everything, the demolition part is their responsibility, where they manipulate things as per their wish,” said the Commissioner. Commenting on the present staff crunch in the building branch, Aggarwal said as per their eligibility, head draftsmen will be asked to do the job till the time new ATPs join. At present, the building branch is managing affairs with just one ATP, who is taking care of Zone B and D, and an ATP (Headquarters). Another controversial ATP (Zone A), Harpreet Ghai, was recently transferred to Moga. |
