Mohali to be made world class city, says Badal
PNS | Mohali
Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Thursday declared that Mohali would be developed as a world class city equipped with ultra-modern infrastructure.
Presiding over a meeting of the local councillors here at PUDA Bhawan, Chief Minister Badal said that it was the endeavour of the State Government to make Mohali far better even than the adjoining cities of Chandigarh and Panchkula.
He said that Mohali was being developed on the most modern lines perhaps it was the only planned city in Punjab and thus Government’s sharpened focus was on its overall development.
Chief Minister asked the Chief Administrator GMADA to fully involve the local councilors in the conceptualisation and execution of development projects in Mohali from time to time. Badal also directed him to allot the work for maintenance of parks in different sectors of Mohali to the municipal council also on the prescribed rates.
To have better understanding about the felt needs of the people, the Chief Minister asked the Chief Administrator GMADA to regularly hold meetings with any five representatives unanimously chosen by the councilors every month.
Likewise, Badal also asked him to hold a meeting of all the councillors after every three months and subsequently, the progress of these meetings would be reviewed by him personally to resolve some contentious issues on the priority, which hampered the pace of on-going development projects.
