Mohali, December 13

The Local Bodies Department has invited objections and suggestions from the general public with regard to the extension of the MC boundaries, a resolution for which was passed by the MC on June 28. The objections and suggestions have to be filed within 30 days.

This was revealed today by former Health Minister and local MLA Balbir Singh Sidhu. He said a resolution was passed on June 28 under the leadership of Mayor Amarjit Singh Jeeti Sidhu to extend the boundaries of the Mohali Municipal Corporation. He had promised the residents that after winning the municipal elections, he would bring a resolution to extend the demarcation of the Mohali Municipal Corporation. He recently held a meeting with the Director (Senior), Local Government, the Mayor, Senior Deputy Mayor and the Deputy Mayor. The residents of adjoining villages of Badmajra, Balongi, Green Enclave and Baliali would hugely benefit, he added.

Sidhu said there was no doubt that there would be a huge expenditure on providing urban amenities to the villages, but governments were for public service and the cost was not taken into consideration for their welfare.
