Chandigarh BJP on Wednesday demanded that the UT Administration and Municipal Corporation should frame a policy for rehabilitating and allowing daily wagers to earn their livelihood without any hindrance from the higher authorities.
BJP alleged that the UT Administration is unnecessarily harassing the motor mechanics, street vendors, footpath workers and others daily wagers across the city under the garb of removing encroachments from the city. The party urged the Municipal Corporation and the UT Administration not to harass them unnecessarily and to be liberal in the matter of dealing with the motor mechanics, street vendors, footpath workers who are working while sittings on roads in various parts of city.
A delegation of BJP headed by Satya Pal Jain, former city MP and National Chairman of the BJP’s Committee on legal Affairs & Election Commission Issues also met Vivek Partap Singh, Commissioner of Municipal Corporation and submitted a memorandum to him in this regard.
