Addressing a press conference at the party office on Wednesday, AAP’s Chandigarh affairs in-charge, Jarnail Singh promised that the people of Chandigarh would get rid of the garbage if his party came to power in the upcoming civic polls.
MLA from Delhi Jarnail Singh said, BJP And Congress is at the top of Chandigarh Municipal Corporation for last two decades. They have failed to clean up the city. The Aam Aadmi Party will show its capability by completing the work in which the Aam Aadmi Party has failed. After winning the election, the residents of the city will get freedom from the mountain of garbage lying in the dumping ground. World class system of waste disposal will be made. Dadumajra plant will be operated with world class technology. Apart from this, better arrangements will be made for garbage collection from every house.
Singh was accompanied by AAP’s Chandigarh co-in-charge Pradeep Chhabra, President Prem Garg and General Secretary, Vijaypal Singh, during Wednesday’s press conference.
Singh further said that “a unique system will be developed to segregate wet and dry waste and the number of safai karamcharis will be increased in each ward”. He said that along with the ban on throwing garbage in public places, proper arrangements would also be made to avoid littering.
Attacking the BJP, Jarnail Singh said that the ranking of Chandigarh, one of the top cities of the country, has dropped from 16 to 66 in the Swachh Survekshan ranking this year, for which the BJP is solely responsible.
Speaking later, the party’s co-in-charge Pradeep Chhabra alleged, “The BJP has looted the beauty of the city by handing over the cleaning work to a private player.”
He also questioned the mayor and asked why the city’s ranking falls even after spending Rs 300 crore in the name of cleanliness in the last five years.
Chhabra claimed that all dispensaries, health centers and schools under the administration would be brought under the municipal body and transparency would be ensured in the recruitment of all sanitation workers.
