Ludhiana Councillors Resign from Finance Committee Amid Legal Challenge
Two councillors, Yuvraj Singh Sidhu and Aman Bagga, sons of AAP MLAs, resigned from Ludhiana Municipal Corporation's Finance and Contracts Committee on July 30 amid a legal challenge to their appointments. The petition, filed by Congress councillor Gaurav Bhatti and supported by BJP and Shiromani Akali Dal members, alleges procedural violations under the Municipal Corporation Act. The resignations aim to prevent disruption of development work ahead of the Punjab and Haryana High Court hearing scheduled for August 7.
