Residents of Chandigarh's upscale Sector 35 finally found a listening ear as Aam Aadmi Party leader and former minister Kanwar Pal Singh Babla conducted an extensive grievance hearing session, addressing multiple civic concerns plaguing the neighborhood.
Water Woes Take Center Stage
The most pressing issue raised by residents was the erratic water supply that has been disrupting daily life. Multiple households reported inconsistent water pressure and timing, making basic household chores challenging. "When water becomes a daily struggle, it affects everything from cooking to cleanliness," explained one frustrated resident.
Parking Pandemonium on City Streets
Another critical concern highlighted was the chaotic parking situation. With limited designated parking spaces and increasing vehicle ownership, residents described how streets often turn into makeshift parking lots, causing traffic bottlenecks and safety hazards for pedestrians and motorists alike.
Infrastructure and Maintenance Gaps
Beyond water and parking, residents brought attention to several infrastructure deficiencies including:
- Inadequate street lighting in certain sectors
- Poor maintenance of public spaces and parks
- Drainage issues during monsoon seasons
- Road quality and repair requirements
Babla's Assurance and Action Plan
Kanwar Pal Singh Babla gave residents a patient hearing and assured them of concrete action. The AAP leader emphasized that such direct interactions are crucial for understanding ground-level problems that often get overlooked in bureaucratic processes.
"When residents take time to voice their concerns, it's our responsibility to ensure their voices reach the right authorities and solutions are implemented," Babla stated during the session.
The leader promised to escalate these issues with the municipal corporation and relevant departments, seeking timely resolutions for Sector 35's civic challenges. The session concluded with hopes for improved civic amenities and better quality of life for Chandigarh residents.
