Ludhiana, August 22

A member of the Ludhiana West Subdivision Grievances Redressal Committee, Satish Thaman, has sought from the authorities concerned to hold regular meetings of the panel so that required steps should be taken to get issues resolved on a timely basis.

He has also written to the PPCC president Navjot Singh Sidhu regarding various issues of the city that need to be addressed by the government.

Thaman said the committee of 29 members was constituted in 2017 but meetings were not being conducted since then. He said: “There are many issues of the city which have not been resolved so far. I have written to the PPCC president in this regard so that he must take up these issues with the state government for their early redressal. Moreover, meetings of the committee should be held regularly.”

He demanded from the government to complete the recruitment process for the posts of peon (Service Group-D) for disabled persons in municipal corporations, councils, nagar panchayats, etc.

He also demanded that the government should order to scrap old layers before re-carpeting of roads in the city by the authorities concerned. “There is a need to control stray cattle in the city. Fighting bulls on roads injure passersby, thus endangering the lives of commuters. Also, urgent attention should be paid to ensure the desilting of all sewer lines and drains on a top priority basis. The Local Government Department should take steps to make sure all new buildings must have the rain harvesting system and no site plan be approved without mentioning of rainwater harvesting location,” he said.

“The district administration and police and other authorities must take strict measures to check the sale and use of Chinese strings in the city. All safai karamcharis in municipal corporations and departments must be regularised,” he said.
