“Facilities including schools, colleges, stadiums and multipurpose hall cum convention centres will be constructed at Manimajra after the finalisation of the Master Plan. Colonies and villages will be upgraded too,” Chhabra said.

Chhabra said elected representatives of people are working for the progress of the city. He said through proper follow-up and monitoring, the MC has come a long way since its formation as far as providing basic services to citizens is concerned.

He said in the coming days, more emphasis would be laid on promoting greater transparency and accountability in the functioning of the corporation.

The mayor said projects like the setting up of a dog pound and bird (chicken) slaughterhouse will be completed on priority and the MC will work actively towards the housing needs of the economically weaker sections of society.
