LUDHIANA: Fifteen days after the MC house decided to set up committees for suggesting changes in parking and advertisement policies, mayor Balkar Singh Sandhu is yet to finalise the names of councillors to be part of these committees.Importantly, the committee members were supposed to give suggestions in 15 days to bring changes in two policies notified by the local bodies department. I did not get time for the same.” He said he will announce the committees by next week.The mayor has also failed to announce the committee for settlement of water supply and sewerage dues which was supposed to be formed in June. For advertisement tenders, there was no response from bidders but they have to adopt both the policies as has been done by Jalandhar and Amritsar MCs.Notably, the local bodies minister Navjot Sidhu has already cleared that the MC will have to adopt both the policies as the government has notified the same..
