DW BUREAU/ CHANDIGARH Former Union Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal has said that it's a very unfortunate and sad day for residents of Chandigarh, a city which is popularly known as the City Beautiful moves down to 16th position in Swachhata rankings. Bansal said that the ranking had always been at the top under the Congress regime. Now, since the last 4 years under BJP rule, the rankings have steadily dropped due to bad governance, inefficient administration and the negligence of the Municipal Corporation. According to a report of the Centre for Science and Environment based on Swachh Bharat Mission inputs, Chandigarh has recorded 90 per cent waste processing, 100 per cent door-to-door collection of garbage and in 24 of the 26 wards 95 per cent segregation of waste. These high claims are not only untrue but border on the ludicrous and bizarre. It is either deliberate furnishing of false data or the result of a total loss of touch with the ground and preparation of such reports sitting in the concerned offices of the Administration or the Municipal Corporation, Bansal said. Devinder Singh Babla Congress Councillor said that Mayor is responsible for the poor performance. In a letter to the Mayor he said that "You have crossed all limits of lying and manipulating facts. You have written to the Swachh Bharat Mission that garbage door to door collection is being done all over Chandigarh and that segregation is being done in 24 wards." He said that BJP councillors cheated and did not do good by lying to the people of Chandigarh. The people of Chandigarh had elected BJP by giving a majority in the municipal elections and hoped that it would show magic in the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation. But the people of Chandigarh are now understanding each and everything. (editor@dailyworld.in)
