Ludhiana, September 22

Taking officials of the Municipal Corporation and Ludhiana Improvement Trust head on, the BJP state executive committee member, Bikram Singh Sidhu, pointed towards problems being faced by residents of Shaheed Bhagat Singh (SBS) Nagar owing to the garbage dump near Sunet railway crossing.

Sidhu has written to the Ludhiana Municipal Commissioner urging him to take immediate action for the removal of the garbage dump. “If the dump is not cleared within 21 days, the BJP along with area residents will initiate a protest against the authorities concerned. It’s time for the authorities to save people from diseases caused due to garbage lying in the open,” Sidhu added.

In a statement here today, Sidhu said, “It’s rather shocking that even after spending lakhs on their houses area residents continue to live in unhygienic conditions.”

Sidhu also visited the dump site to take a stock of the situation. He interacted with the people and listened to their grievances.
