Panchkula, Oct. 7 -- Panchkula MLA Chander Mohan has called for a vigilance (VB) inquiry into the Panchkula municipal corporation's (MCs) finances, specifically targeting the revenue generated from advertising hoardings. Mohan claims the MC is under-reporting its income from hoardings primarily used for BJP leaders' advertisements, such as birthday wishes and party promotions. During a general house meeting on Monday, MLA Mohan raised the issue of hoardings, claiming they were filled with advertisements for BJP leaders. He questioned MC commissioner RK Singh about the fee charged for such hoardings and the total income generated from these advertisements. A concerned MC officer reported that the corporation had received an income of approximately Rs.1.1 crore. In response, MLA Mohan stated that the advertisement rates were very high compared to the income generated. He demanded a vigilance inquiry into the matter, although the commissioner assured him that the criteria for advertisements and the total income generated would be provided to him by Tuesday. Councillor Akshay Deep Chaudhary from Ward Number 17, while challenging the reality of the MC's cleanliness drive, showed pictures to the House depicting the pathetic sanitation conditions. He stated that garbage was scattered throughout the city. Despite the corporation's tall claims, stray cattle were seen roaming in various places, particularly in Sector 25. Usha Rani from Ward Number 7 requested the MC to regularise Rajiv Colony and Indira Colony. During the discussion, the encroachment by shopkeepers was also raised by councillor Pankaj from Ward Number 6. He alleged that no action was being taken against "big fishes" and only small-time vendors were being harassed. The commissioner assured him of action and directed the staff not to take action against illegal vendors.htc...
