Mayor Pardeep Chhabra today formed the sub-committee comprising five councillors and municipal secretary, to be the convenor of the committee which will look into the various aspects regarding the malfunctioning of ward committees. The committee will submit its recommendations within one month.

Congress councillor Anu Chatrath will head this sub-committee. Other members of the committee include former Mayor Harjinder Kaur, Councillor Gurcharan Dass Kala, Councillor Sarita Devi, nominated Councillor Brig Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri (retd) and Municipal Secretary P K Sharma.

Ward Committee was constituted last year with the objective to ensure their effective participation in the process of development. But over the period of time, the committees failed to contribute much.

Chatrath said it was observed that required action was not being taken on the recommendations of the ward committees. She said the committee would make recommendations to make them more effective in the process of development by ensuring the participation of the MC officials in the meetings of ward committees.
