Addressing a press conference here along with party leaders, Prof Chandumajra said while the Kharar municipal committee possessed 750 acres of land, the Zirakpur committee possessed 250 acres of land. Both committees have hundreds of crores in monetary resources . Asserting that since AAP did not have direct control over both municipal committees, it wanted to dissolve them and merge them with the Mohall Corporation. By doing so it can take advantage of the land pool of the both committees which will be handed over to GMADA and the money earned will be diverted for pet AAP projects . Stating that the SAD would oppose this proposal tooth and nail, Prof Chandumajra said ordinary people would be most affected. While the inner towns of both committees would suffer as they would be ignored, people would not be able to take advantage of affordable housing with the entire land parcels in both Committees being handed over to GMADA . Asking the AAP government to first develop Mohali, the SAD leader said no development has been done in Mohali since the last more than one year. Even provision for rain water disposal has not been made till now. Moreover several villages like Balongi, Badmajra and Jujhar Nagar have not been taken into the ambit of the Corporation. Instead of merging Kharar and Zirakpur with the Mohali Corporation, the government should first merge these left out areas into the Corporation . (editor dailyworld.in)
