Ludhiana: Former Congress councillor Mamta Ashu has again accused civic body of adopting a selective approach in maintaining cleanliness, prioritising certain areas over others. She alleged that sanitation workers from various wards, including Barewal, were deployed to the MLA’s home wards while neglecting other areas like Ghumar Mandi and Rose Garden.
Ashu wondered why the MLA’s ward required special services from external workers when already assigned employees could have handled the task. This raised concerns about the fairness and efficiency of the corporation's cleaning initiatives.
A health branch official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, claimed that main roads were being cleaned and that special services are being provided temporarily by 10 employees from each ward. The official said local staffers prioritise cleanliness in their designated areas.
