Mohali MC launches Rs 24L development works at Kumbra village

Mohali, November 15

The Mohali Municipal Corporation (MC) on Monday started a series of development works, including laying paver blocks in streets of Kumbra village, at the cost of Rs24 lakh.

Speaking on the occasion Mayor Amarjit Singh Jeeti Sidhu said the MC was continuously carrying out development works without any discrimination in the city. Development works at Kumbra village were an example of this, Mayor added.

Since he had assumed the office one after another development works were being carried out in Mohali, said Mayor. Development could be seen in every nook and corner of Mohali, Mayor added.

Opposition councillors, who were alleging discrimination in their wards, themselves say development works were going on in their wards, said Mayor.

He did not want to be a part of any narrow minded politics as the constituency MLA and former Punjab Health Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu had given instructions that development works would be expedited in Mohali and there would be no shortage of funds, Mayor added.

Mohali residents had voted for Congress candidates and sent them to the MC House by a landslide victory, said Sidhu. He was making all efforts to fulfill responsibility given to him by Mohali residents, Mayor added. All remaining works at Kumbra village would be completed on priority basis and city-like facilities would be provided to villagers, said Mayor.

Senior Deputy Mayor Amrik Singh Somal, Deputy Mayor Kuljit Singh Bedi, councillor Kamalpreet Singh Bunny, Kulwinder Singh, Surjit Singh, Avtar Singh, and Jagdish Singh were among those present on the occasion. — TNS
