Ludhiana Municipal Corporation Project Faces Opposition; House Meeting Postponed
The Ludhiana Municipal Corporation's proposed 82-crore mechanical sweeping and deep cleaning project faces opposition from Congress councillors over concerns about its cost, necessity, and technical details.

The House meeting was postponed following the death of AAP councillor Usha Kalyan. Opposition councillor Gaurav Bhatti protested the project, highlighting financial scrutiny and alternative options.
