Ahead of MC poll, AAP announces 5 major guarantees for Ludhiana

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday officially launched its campaign for the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation elections.

AAP Punjab president Aman Arora announced five major guarantees aimed at transforming Ludhiana into a clean, modern and well-connected city.

Arora assured the people that these commitments will be fulfilled on a priority, if AAP comes to power in the Municipal Corporation.

Addressing a press conference in Ludhiana, Aman Arora highlighted the party’s vision to tackle the city’s pressing challenges and bring systematic development. The event saw the participation of senior party leaders, local candidates and supporters.

Cleaning and revitalisation of Buddha Dariya

Aman Arora emphasised that cleaning and restoration of Buddha Dariya will be a top priority, if AAP comes to power in the Municipal Corporation. He said the historic river, which had been reduced to a polluted drain, would be completely rejuvenated through a comprehensive cleaning project. Strict measures will be taken to stop the discharge of untreated sewage and industrial waste into the river.

Clean drinking water for every household

Aman Arora said access to clean drinking water was a basic right, and AAP will ensure 100 per cent clean and uninterrupted drinking water supply across Ludhiana. New infrastructure would be developed to modernise the water supply system and eliminate any contamination issues, thereby improving the health and well-being of residents.

Improved public transportation

Recognising rising pollution levels in Ludhiana, the party announced the launch of a fleet of electric buses to improve the city’s public transportation. Arora assured that charging stations and dedicated depots would be set up to support the efficient operation of 100 electric buses, making Ludhiana’s transport system both sustainable and eco-friendly.

Permanent solution to waterlogging

To address Ludhiana’s long-standing issues of waterlogging and poor sewerage management, Aman Arora promised 100 per cent coverage of sewerage system. He said advanced drainage infrastructure would be implemented to provide a permanent solution to waterlogging during the monsoon.

Waste management, garbage-free city

Aman Arora assured the removal of all waste dumps across Ludhiana, including infamous garbage hotspots. Drawing inspiration from successful projects elsewhere, Arora assured the transformation of waste dump sites into clean, usable spaces.
