Fix waterlogging issues with help of NHAI officials, orders Mohali DC

Taking a serious view of the problems being faced by people due to inundated roads following rain, particularly in the Kharar area, Deputy Commissioner Aashika Jain has asked the ADC (Urban Development) Damanjit Singh Mann to visit the affected areas and fix waterlogging issues with the help of National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) officials.

“All officers, particularly those related to Urban Local Bodies, have been asked to be fully sensitive to the problem of the general public in these days and swing into immediate action on receiving a com plaint,” said Jain.

Residents can reach District Control Room at 0172-2219506 to air their grievance.

Residents hold protest

‘Ganda paani... tauba.. tauba... tauba’, ‘Votan de vele hor, kaam de vele chor’. These were some of the “Jumle and Boliyan” that Kharar residents, particularly women and housewives, used to wake up the Bhagwant Mann-led state government and local MLA and Cabinet Minister Anmol Gagan Mann after half of the town was waterlogged two days ago. The protest continued for two days at Chajjumajra. Seeing the protesting crowd swell and situation getting out of hand, Kharar SDM Gurmandar Singh dashed to the area and took a trip of waterlogged areas on a tractor amidst sloganeering.
