Chandigarh MC Annuls Rs 250 Crore Agendas Amid Water-Logging Protests and Meeting Disputes
The Chandigarh Municipal Corporation recently annulled over Rs 250 crore worth of development agendas passed hastily in a July 31 meeting, including a Rs 227 crore water pipeline project. The decision followed protests by AAP and Congress councillors over water-logging issues and lack of detailed project discussions. Mayor Saurabh Joshi and BJP councillors supported the annulment but criticized opposition for disrupting meetings and inconsistent attendance. Civic officials faced scrutiny for delayed responses during recent heavy rains, highlighting concerns about drainage and monsoon preparedness.
