CHANDIGARH: A high-level review meeting on key Urban Local Body (ULB) issues was held under the chairmanship of Punjab Cabinet Minister for Local Government, Industries & Commerce and Power, Shri Sanjeev Arora.
During the meeting, the Cabinet Minister Sanjeev Arora directed that all Urban Local Bodies shall pass resolutions for development schemes in a completely paperless manner. He informed that the Department has developed the e-Nigam software, through which all resolutions will now be processed online. A strict timeline of 10 working days has been fixed for competent authorities to take decisions on such resolutions to ensure efficiency and transparency.
Reviewing water-supply arrangements, Shri Sanjeev Arora directed installation of timer sensors on all tubewells within one month to ensure uninterrupted water supply to citizens. Keeping in view frequent disruptions during summer due to tubewell failures, all Municipal Commissioners and Additional Deputy Commissioners were instructed to procure pump sets in advance to enable immediate replacement and uninterrupted services.
