Mayor chalks out plan to check encroachmentPNS | Dehradun
Dehradun Mayor Vinod Chamoli has been holding meetings with the officials of various divisions in order to chalk out measures for redressing various problems being experienced by the residents of the town. The major problems being faced by the Municipal Corporation of Dehradun include the removal and prevention of encroachment on its land and maintenance of civic sanitation in the town.
The MCD has been working to stop land encroachment and facilitate civic sanitation, but so far its efforts have not been able to achieve the desired result in these spheres.
In recent days, the Mayor has held meetings with the officials of the MCD land division and health division to ascertain the position of land encroachment and assess the factors preventing the required level of civic sanitation from being facilitated in town.
Apart from this, the MCD counselors also face financial constraints because they are paid no allowance as the elected public representatives.
According to the Mayor, he has communicated with the Government that as elected public representatives the counselors should also receive allowance, a proposal passed by the MCD Board.
However, the Government has remained apathetic to the problems being faced by the MCD and counselors.
