Lesson on cleanliness

A few UT cops, who were present at the spot in Sector 43 where gangster Dilpreet Singh, alias Baba, was caught, got a lesson on cleanliness by DSP (South) Harjeet Kaur who asked the cops not to throw mineral water bottles, offered to them after operation, on road. Kaur saw a few cops throwing the caps of water bottles on the road following which she asked them to pick up the caps and not to litter these around.

Short relief!

Relief for residents at parking lots in the city was a kind of joke last week when the rates were changed twice. The Chandigarh Municipal Corporation had announced to reduce the parking rates soon after it cancelled the contract with the Mumbai-based parking firm. But the relief did not last long as the parking firm challenged the cancellation order of the MC. The firm started levying the increased rates soon after taking over the charge after getting relief from the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Residents blamed the MC for not taking the issue seriously and created the situation in which the rates were reduced for a day only.
