SAS Nagar, May 28 - Mayor of Mohali Municipal Corporation Amarjit Singh Jeeti Sidhu said that instead of helping Mohali Municipal Corporation for development works, the Punjab government is creating hurdles. On the occasion of starting the development work of paver blocks and parks in Sector 77, he said that unlike other municipal corporations of Punjab, Mohali Municipal Corporation neither does the work of passing maps nor does any other work related to property, because all these works are done by Jimada. However, Jimada does not even give its due share to the Municipal Corporation.
He said that even though Mohali Municipal Corporation faces the problem of lack of funds, it still tries to get development works done through its own resources. But the Aam Aadmi Party government of Punjab creates obstacles in these efforts. The Local Government Department deliberately hangs the tenders and delays the works.
He informed that during the tenure of the previous Congress government, when Mr. Balveer Singh Sidhu was the cabinet minister, the municipal corporation used to get financial assistance from both the government and Jimada. But after the Aam Aadmi Party government came to power, this assistance has completely stopped.
He said that the monsoon season is at its peak, and at least Rs 200 crore is to be spent on the project made for drainage, but the government is completely sitting with its eyes closed in this matter and is ignoring an important city like Mohali.
He stressed that the people of Mohali have elected him as the mayor, and he is working with full dedication to fulfill his responsibility. No matter how many obstacles the government puts, the development work in Mohali will continue like this.
On this occasion, the councilor of the area Sucha Singh Kalor and the residents felicitated the mayor. Eminent persons and other residents of the area were present on the occasion.
