Amritsar, May 25

Mayor Karamjit Singh Rintu interacted with residents of Ward No.22 and assured them of providing water supply in their area here on Tuesday.

The Mayor visited Ward No.22 of East assembly constituency in the afternoon and heard the problems of residents of the area. Area councillor Jaswinder Singh Lado and officials of various departments of the MC were also there. The Mayor instructed the officials present on the spot to solve their problems immediately.

Addressing residents, the Mayor said the MCA had passed development works worth crores of rupees, in which almost all the works like new tubewells, water supply and sewer lines, modern street lights and laying of interlocking tiles had been completed. He said due to harvesting of crops and sowing season there was a shortage of labourers. Besides, migrant workers had returned to their native towns due to the pandemic, affecting the pace of development works.

Officials had been directed to expedite development works and complete them within the stipulated time. He said apart from putting clean drinking water pipes in the area, beautification of the area would also start soon.

He said wherever development works would be required in the area, the MC would do it and there was no shortage of funds for this purpose. All other development works would be completed on time.

“The councillors are working diligently for the development works in their respective areas, for which they deserve to be congratulated. But in these difficult times of Covid-19, the councillors need to go to their respective areas and enquire about the financial status of the families and whatever assistance is available or can be provided to them at the government level, should be provided,” he said

Mayor Karamjit Singh was thanked by the councillor and residents of the area for addressing their problems on the spot.
