Chandigarh MP Pawan Kumar Bansal on Sunday stressed on the need of transferring important departments to Chandigarh Municipal Corporation from the UT Administration.
He said this will not only ensure transparency, but also lead to speedy completion of projects and further streamline functioning, thus negating procedural delays. While addressing a felicitation function at Sector 37 law Bhawan here, he assured the dalit community of his full support and said that he would ensure that their long pending demands are soon met. Rashtriya Safai Mazdoor Congress Chandigarh, which is a wing of Chandigarh Dalit Samaj had organised the function to honour the newly elected mayor HC Kalyan and MP Bansal.
Bansal further said that Chandigarh has set an example in slum rehabilitation projects. It happens to be the only city in the entire country for having undertaken this project in its true spirit. Under the rehab scheme, 60,000 families would get houses, of which around 50,000 have already been rehabilitated.”
