Punjab Local Government Minister Harjot Singh Bains on Tuesday issued a show-cause notice to Moga Municipal Commissioner Gurwinder Singh Johal after finding sanitation standards in the city unsatisfactory.
Minister's Inspection Reveals Garbage Dumping
While passing through Moga district on his way to Muktsar for a public function, the minister interacted with local residents and took stock of the civic body’s sanitation efforts. Sharing details on social media, Bains said he found several open garbage dumping points across the city and observed that cleanliness levels were not up to the desired standards.
“I am issuing a show-cause notice to the Municipal Commissioner, Moga. No compromise on cleanliness,” he posted on X.
Immediate Corrective Measures Ordered
The minister directed civic body authorities to take immediate corrective measures and improve sanitation in the city. The notice demands an explanation from Commissioner Johal regarding the poor sanitation conditions and the steps being taken to address them.
The action underscores the state government's focus on maintaining cleanliness in urban areas. Bains’ inspection and subsequent notice highlight the administration's zero-tolerance policy for inadequate sanitation services.
