Jalandhar, November 3
Within less than a month, a member of another ad hoc committee resigned as they felt ignored by MC officials here on Tuesday. Recently, the lack of adequate number of safai karamcharis in the wards had led to the resignation of Satinderjeet Kaur, a member of the Health and Sanitation Ad Hoc Committee.
On Tuesday, Chanderjit Kaur, a member of the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Ad hoc Committee, resigned from the committee citing that there was no point of remaining a part of a committee when nobody was going to listen to their members. She submitted her resignation to committee chairman Pawan Kumar.
She said, “On several occasions, I had been sharing the problems of residents with the officials of the O&M branch. The residents are in trouble because of poor sewer system in the city and I do not know where the files have lost because there is no solution to this issue for years. Only work orders are passed and then everything stops. There are several examples where I have raised such issues, but who listens? I cannot work in such an environment and I resigned,” said Chanderjit Kaur, who is also councillor of Ward No.73.
On October 10, Satinderjeet Kaur resigned. In the resignation letter, she had written that if she could not work for her own ward as a councillor, how she would look after the entire city as a member of the committee. Satinderjeet Kaur said hers was the biggest ward in the city and still she had only 10 safai karamcharis. Ward No.78 councillor Jagdish Samrai had also told the health and sanitation committee chairman Balraj Thakur that if they did not get enough number of safai karamcharis for their own wards, he would resign. — TNS
