Mani Majra turned into a scrap city,
Not 24 hours, water barely comes for 2 hours!
The promise to provide 24-hour water supply to every house in Chandigarh has faded away with time, leaving the voters who relied on those promises forgotten. The area of City Beautiful, Mani Majra, is currently facing both dirtiness and scarcity of water. Residents complain of leaking sewage in the streets. While the promise was for 24-hour water, only about 2 hours of water supply is available during the day. Since BJP took charge in Chandigarh, not a single street or road has been built in this area. Even the area’s councilors have not focused on these fundamental issues.
Former Congress Union Minister Pawan Bansal visited Mani Majra and learned about these problems faced by the residents. One of the city’s most beautiful parks, Shivalik Garden, is in a dilapidated state. He also assessed a situation where neither drinking water nor toilet facilities were available.
The residents of Mani Majra informed Pawan Bansal about the condition of a bridge built over a drain near the Sheetal Mata Temple, through which sewage water flows, and the administration has neglected this for many years.
Former Union Minister Pawan Bansal criticized the BJP, stating that they have only played politics for votes without taking any concrete steps in the name of development in the city. This has worsened conditions, even neglecting the development works done during the Congress era. Pawan Bansal has appealed to Chandigarh’s administration to focus especially on the development works in Mani Majra so that the city dwellers can live comfortably.
