Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, October 3:- A special function was organised by the women members of Sri Sukhmani Sahib Sewa Society at Sector-70 to honour Mohali Municipal Corporation Mayor S. Sarabjit Singh Samana. MLA S. Kulwant Singh attended the event specially and thanked the society for the honour.

Speaking to reporters on the occasion, MLA Kulwant Singh said that honours received from outside have their own place, but there is no comparison with the honour and respect received from one's own community and the people of one's own area. He said that his family would always remain grateful to the residents of Sector-70 for this honour and respect.

MLA Kulwant Singh said that with S. Sarabjit Singh Samana becoming Mayor, his responsibilities have increased further, and he now also has to play his role in the overall development of the entire area under the Mohali Municipal Corporation.

He said that as S. Sarabjit Singh Samana was elected councillor for the third consecutive time at a young age and has now become Mayor of the Mohali Municipal Corporation, his family would always remain thankful to the people of the Mohali constituency.

Referring to the development works carried out in Mohali during his previous tenure, the MLA said that a new sewerage line had been laid on the road from Balongi towards Bawa White House, and the work had been completed at a cost of approximately Rs. 26 crore. He said that if this sewerage line had become non-functional, the situation that could have arisen in Mohali could easily be imagined.

He said that other underground pipelines in Mohali are also being inspected using modern technology, and wherever a need to replace pipelines is identified, necessary steps will be taken to replace them immediately.

MLA Kulwant Singh said that under the leadership of Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann, the Punjab Government has implemented various public welfare schemes and a special campaign is also being conducted to ensure that people benefit from these schemes and to create awareness about them. He said that teams have been constituted in this regard, which are providing people with detailed information about the relevant schemes.
