Summary:
The forum submitted a complaint on April 30, 2019, to the MC about low water pressure in the area. At that time, the water pressure was increased but that was only for sometime. Now, the MC is reducing the water supply in Sector 32 A in order to provide water in VIP sectors and slum areas- the vote bank for political parties. The Chandigarh district court has issued a notice to the Municipal Corporation (MC) of Chandigarh, following a civil suit filed by Residents’ Welfare Forum of Sector 32, seeking directions to restrain the MC from reducing water pressure and water supply in Sector 32 A, and for giving permission to install submersible for water. AdvertisingThe notice has been issued by the Court of Sachin Kumar, Civil Judge (Junior Division), to the chief engineer of public health at the MC and to Home Secretary, Chandigarh Administration..
