Chandigarh, August 30: Chandigarh MP and former Union Minister Manish Tewari inaugurated CCTV cameras installed in Sector-29 and Kaimbwala, funded through his MP Local Area Development Scheme. These cameras will help strengthen law and order in the respective areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking on the occasion, MP Tewari said that residents of Sector-29 (Ward No. 10) and Kaimbwala (Ward No. 1) had been demanding CCTV cameras due to the rising incidents of crime in these areas. Considering their concerns, he allocated funds from his parliamentary quota to facilitate the installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing the media, Tewari emphasized his belief in the politics of development. He stated that he has been allocating funds for various development works across different localities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking a dig at the Municipal Corporation, he remarked that it is unfortunate that the financial condition has reached a nadir over the past decade \u2014 an institution that once managed its expenses from the interest earned on fixed deposits is now reduced to distributing sweets over receiving a handout of \u20b9125 crore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Tewari demanded a white paper on the finances of the Municipal Corporation from 2014 -2025 . He also stated that he would write to the C&AG to conduct a Performance Audit with regard to the 24X7 Mani Majra Water Supply Pilot project that has been an abysmal failure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given that the project was funded through the Smart City Misson and 75 crores has been squandered on the project which is a criminal waste of public money , Mr Tewari said that accountability of officers concerned must be fixed and heads must roll given that the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation has now decided to abandon the Foreign funded 24X7 project that would have saddled a bankrupt corporation with a life time of insurmountable liabilities <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, he clarified that he prioritizes collective responsibility for the city\u2019s overall development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the occasion, Chandigarh Congress Committee President H.S. Lucky said that all significant development in Chandigarh has taken place under Congress regime. He added that the Congress Party believes in delivering results rather than making empty claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among others Ward No. 1 Councillor Jaswinder Kaur, Former Youth Congress President Chandramukhi Sharma, ex Mayor Ravinder Pal Singh Pali, ex Mayor Surinder Singh, Block Congress President Goldy, Kuldeep Singh Kaimbwala, Dr. Jagpal Singh Jagga, Rajdeep Sidhu, Rupinder Singh Rupi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
