Key Promises in the Manifesto
The BJP's manifesto focuses on several key areas, including solid waste management, water supply, road construction, and healthcare. Among the prominent pledges are the completion of the Panchkula-Mohali bridge, which is expected to ease traffic congestion, and the establishment of a new sewage treatment plant. The party also promised to develop smart roads with underground cabling and modern street lighting.
Healthcare and Education
In the healthcare sector, the manifesto promises the construction of a new multi-specialty hospital and the upgrading of existing primary health centers. For education, the BJP has pledged to open new government schools and introduce vocational training programs in municipal schools. Additionally, the party aims to provide free Wi-Fi in public spaces and parks.
Women and Youth Welfare
The manifesto also includes specific measures for women, such as the establishment of a women's helpline and self-help groups. For the youth, the BJP promises skill development centers and sports facilities. The party has also assured that all pending development works will be completed within a stipulated timeframe.
CM's Address
Speaking at the manifesto release event, CM Saini said, 'This manifesto is a reflection of our commitment to the all-round development of Panchkula. We have consulted with citizens and experts to address their genuine needs. Our government will ensure that every promise is fulfilled with transparency and efficiency.'
