Mayor inspects sanitation, announces CCTV monitoring
Mohali Mayor Sarabjit Singh Samana on Tuesday reviewed sanitation arrangements, garbage accumulation and ongoing beautification works at various locations across the city. Senior Deputy Mayor RP Sharma, Deputy Mayor Harpal Singh Channa and other officials of the Mohali Municipal Corporation (MC) were present during the inspection.
Mayor Samana inspected works at IISER-Jagatpura, Phase 9-PCA Stadium, RMC Point and the area near the lights in Phase 7. He noted that the condition of cleanliness along the roadsides was very poor and that roads had been unnecessarily damaged at several places under the pretext of laying cables. He issued instructions to contractors to ensure roads are not damaged without valid reasons.
Contractors directed for post-market cleaning
Samana further said that contractors responsible for areas where weekly markets are held have been directed to ensure timely cleaning after markets conclude, so that residents and commuters do not face inconvenience. He announced that CCTV cameras are being installed at dumping points to curb open dumping and monitor waste management at important locations. The Mayor expressed confidence that sanitation services in Mohali would be fully streamlined within the next few days.
Residents demand completion of pending works
Residents of Wave Estate, Sectors 99, 100, 101 and areas along Airport Road have demanded immediate completion of pending development works. Despite the main road in the area having been constructed, it has not been fully opened for traffic, causing daily traffic jams and forcing residents to take longer routes.
The storm water drainage line in the area remains incomplete. During the rainy season, water from the sectors and nearby villages overflows onto roads and enters residential areas, creating serious inconvenience. While the bridge near Mauli village has been opened, no connectivity has been provided from the bridge to PR-7 road, causing significant difficulties for commuters.
Former deputy mayor writes to GMADA
Former Mohali Deputy Mayor Kuljit Singh Bedi has written a letter to the Chief Administrator of GMADA regarding these issues. Bedi noted that GMADA sold plots in the area years ago and residents have already built their homes, yet basic infrastructure remains incomplete. He alleged that the condition of these government-developed sectors was worse than that of many private colonies.
