Chandigarh Municipal Corporation Withdraws Rs 250 Crore Development Agendas for Review
The Chandigarh Municipal Corporation General House declared null and void over Rs 250 crore worth of development agendas passed hurriedly on July 31, including a Rs 227 crore water supply project. Mayor Saurabh Joshi announced the withdrawal of these agendas for detailed discussion in the next meeting. Opposition councillors from AAP and Congress protested the rushed approvals and raised concerns about water-logging and poor drainage during recent rains. Some BJP councillors also opposed the process, while the Mayor accused opposition members of disrupting proceedings and lacking seriousness about development.
