S.A.S.Nagar/Zirakpur 30 July ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : Residents of Savitri Towers under Zirakpur MC, which comes under Mohali district, are facing many problems during rainy days due to which on one hand the life of the people here has become hell, on the other hand MC Zirakpur was laying sewerage/drainage pipes inside Savitri Tower Society on VIP Road Zirakpur, but after digging, the work has been left incomplete for a long time due to which people are facing many problems. Baljit Singh Balla former Pradhan, Advocate Sudhir Pasi, Som Prakash Bhosale and other locals living in Savitri Towers questioned the working system of MC Zirakpur in front of the media and said that due to the pathetic maintenance of the society, the fate of senior citizens and pregnant women is at stake. 

There are many potholes which need immediate attention. He said that the incomplete project of laying sewerage pipes is visible. Locals said that there is an urgent need to complete this incomplete work by MC Zirakpur inside Savitri Tower Society in VIP Road Zirakpur. In case of any emergency, it is impossible for rescue vehicles like fire brigade or ambulance to reach the gate number 2 of the society, which is closed for the last 1 month in the society. The internal road of the society is always under maintenance by the RWA. But for unknown reasons, the MC of Zirakpur took the responsibility of laying drainage pipes to clear the waterlogging in the Zirakpur VIP street drainage system from Lohgarh side. The street lights on this road are not providing sufficient light for pedestrians, which neither the Municipal Council nor the management cares about. People say that due to the incomplete work of laying pipes and the dug pits, every day some driver falls and many times animals also become victims of this accident, while during the rainy season, flies and mosquitoes breeding in rain and dirty water have started making people fall prey to diseases. Local people expressed their anger against the MC and warned that if this incomplete work is not completed as soon as possible, then the MC office will be surrounded with the help of the local people of the society along with the officials of other organizations, the responsibility of which will be of the local MC officials and administration.

What does the local councilor have to say :

Zirakpur. In the above case, local councillor Yadvinder Sharma has made serious allegations against the present MC Zirakpur officials and said that MC Zirakpur has become a den of fraud and despite repeated phone calls and contact, the pending work is not being completed due to which people are facing many problems. He said that he knows that people are facing problems and being the representative of the people, he has to face the difficulties of the people. He said that if it continues like this, then he will have to get some work done from his own pocket.

What does the RLW President of Savitri Towers have to say : 

Regarding the above problems of Zirakpur, RLW President Balbir Mehra says that no officer of the MC committee listens to us, it has been more than one and a half years since we have been trying. He said that he has approached everyone from the MLA to the DC, everyone assures to get the work done soon, but the surprising thing is that the work has not been completed yet and the life of the people here remains hell. On the other hand, when the MC EO was contacted on phone, he did not pick up the phone even after repeated calls.
