Mohali, October 22

The Mohali Municipal Corporation is yet to complete the survey being conducted for the delimitation of wards even though the meeting of the panel concerned is to be held tomorrow.

The MC had ordered a re-survey of wards in the new sectors as the number of people living in the area had reportedly decreased. Sources in the Municipal Corporation said the survey team had not submitted its report to the authorities till the filing of this report.

Earlier, the MC had constituted 35 teams for carrying out a survey in which people were to be asked three questions — head of the family, number of family members and caste. On August 7, the Punjab Government had constituted a board to decide the delimitation of wards of the Mohali MC. The board will also take a call on the allotment of 50 per cent of wards reserved for women.

Municipal Corporation Commissioner Kamal Kumar Garg said a survey was being conducted in some of the sectors as the survey teams had found some houses locked. He said the teams would be submitting a report, which would be presented before the board.

Former Municipal Corporation Councillor SS Dhanoa said they were waiting for the board meeting, wherein decision on the delimitation of wards in the Municipal Corporation would be taken. He said if any discrepancy was found in the survey, they would lodge a complaint.
