In a major administrative overhaul that promises to reshape Chandigarh's urban development landscape, the Union Territory administration has announced key appointments affecting the city's engineering leadership.
The Chandigarh Administration has officially appointed C.B. Ojha, currently serving as Chief Engineer of the UT Administration, to the additional responsibility of Chief Engineer of the Municipal Corporation. This strategic move places Ojha at the helm of both UT and municipal engineering operations, signaling a coordinated approach to the city's infrastructure development.
Simultaneous Appointment Creates Ripple Effect
In a complementary decision that completes this administrative reshuffle, Surbhi Malik has been appointed as Superintending Engineer (SE) of the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation. Malik, who previously served as Executive Engineer, now steps into a more senior role within the corporation's technical hierarchy.
The appointments, formalized through an official order issued by the Chandigarh Administration, took immediate effect, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing civic projects and development initiatives.
Streamlined Leadership for Enhanced Coordination
This dual-hatting arrangement is seen as a strategic move to improve coordination between the UT Administration and Municipal Corporation. By having the same individual lead engineering efforts across both entities, the administration aims to eliminate bureaucratic hurdles and accelerate decision-making processes for critical infrastructure projects.
The consolidation of engineering leadership under Ojha's direction is expected to bring greater efficiency to Chandigarh's urban planning and development initiatives, potentially speeding up the implementation of vital civic projects that affect the daily lives of residents.
As the city continues to grow and modernize, these appointments represent a significant step toward creating a more unified and responsive administrative structure for Chandigarh's development needs.
