Community centre booking ‘scam': Chandigarh mayor transfers staff, seeks probe
The mayor also transferred all staff working in the booking branch of the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation. The issue is expected to rock the MC House meeting on Tuesday.
The mayor said the investigation was aimed at uncovering any irregularities, negligence or misconduct by the staff, and appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken based on the findings.
The mayor stated that the move was essential to ensure transparency and improve the efficiency of the department, while also restoring public confidence and upholding administrative standards.
The mayor assured that booking services will continue without disruption under the supervision of newly deputed staff.
On Sunday, AAP party leaders had accused a nexus of middlemen, fake councillor endorsements and municipal staff of manipulating the booking process to illegally charge poor families between ₹26,000 and ₹55,000 per booking.
Vikrant A Tanwar, media in-charge of AAP, Chandigarh, had alleged that the booking process—meant to be free for EWS applicants—was hijacked by impersonators using forged documents, fake councillor stamps and falsified signatures.

Opposition will derail Punjab's development if voted to power, says Arvind Kejriwal
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said that the development trajectory of Punjab would be derailed if the opposition returns to power. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal along with Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann, cabinet minister Aman Arora and senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia at an event in Shaheed Udham Singh Wala town on Thursday. (HT) He made the statement while addressing a public gathering on the martyrdom day of freedom fighter Udham Singh and laying the foundation stone for development projects worth ₹85 crore in Shaheed Udham Singh Wala town. Accompanied by Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann, cabinet minister Aman Arora and senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia, Kejriwal criticised previous governments led by Congress and the Akali-BJP alliance for 'looting public wealth' and 'introducing drugs' into the state. He accused them of misusing power, promoting corruption and neglecting vital sectors like education and healthcare. 'The previous regimes ruined Punjab. They never cared for the youth, hospitals were in shambles and public money was mercilessly looted for personal gain,' Kejriwal said. He added that even after 75 years of Independence, the vision of India's freedom fighters remained unfulfilled due to the actions of such leaders. The event was also a tribute to Shaheed Udham Singh, the legendary freedom fighter who avenged the Jallianwala Bagh massacre by assassinating Michael O'Dwyer in 1940. Chief minister Bhagwant Mann, speaking at the event, highlighted the importance of commemorating martyrs and preserving their legacy. 'It is our solemn duty to honour heroes like Shaheed Udham Singh. He waited 21 years to avenge the massacre, and his courage laid the foundation for India's eventual independence,' Mann said. Mann emphasised that naming airports, universities and institutions after national heroes helps in keeping their sacrifices alive in public memory. He also criticised the British colonial administration for honoring collaborators with titles like 'Sir', citing the example of a family that hosted General Dyer on the very day of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. 'Every inch of this sacred land carries the legacy of our Gurus, saints and martyrs, who showed us how to resist tyranny and injustice,' the CM concluded.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The minister was scheduled to participate in the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) in Boston, Massachusetts, US. The invitation was extended jointly by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) and National Legislators' Conference Bharat (NLC Bharat). Harbhajan Singh told TOI, "The conference would have been a good learning experience as a legislator and an opportunity for international exposure. Boston is known as an education hub." When asked about the reason for the denial, he said, "The ministry would know better. With only a few days left, there is no time to pursue the matter. There will be another such opportunity in the future." AAP Punjab spokesperson Neel Garg questioned, "Why is the Modi govt afraid of AAP leaders from Punjab going abroad? Four AAP leaders have been denied political clearance so far. Minister Harbhajan Singh was to represent Punjab's governance model at the NCSL conference in Boston. But the Centre got scared — of truth, of transparency, of a real alternative model. Is foreign diplomacy now @BJP4India's monopoly? Why is AAP being stopped from global platforms? Is this an attack on India's federal structure? We strongly condemn this decision…" In Aug last year, the Centre denied political clearance to Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann for his travel to Paris for the Indian hockey team's quarterfinal match. The MEA cited security reasons for the refusal. In the same month, Punjab assembly Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan was denied political clearance to travel to Kentucky in the US to attend a conference of Speakers of Legislative Bodies from Aug 4 to 7. Before that, Punjab minister Aman Arora was denied political clearance for a Europe visit where he was to go on a knowledge-sharing study tour in Sept 2022. On July 28, the state govt issued a press statement announcing that minister Harbhajan Singh had been invited for the conference in the US in recognition of his "significant contributions to legislative governance and public administration in Punjab."

Previous regimes ruined Punjab by spreading the curse of drugs and corruption: Arvind Kejriwal
Patiala: Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and national convener of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday renewed their commitment to further realise the dreams of martyrs by ensuring the welfare of every section of society. Addressing the gathering after laying the foundation stone of projects worth approximately Rs 85 crore to rejuvenate Shaheed Udham Singh Wala town, Kejriwal said Shaheed Udham Singh made the ultimate sacrifice for the country's freedom. "It is a matter of immense pride and satisfaction for me to be part of this function to pay tribute to the iconic martyr," said Kejriwal. He added, "India's freedom struggle saw countless sacrifices for the sake of the country to carve out an egalitarian society to ensure the welfare of the weaker and underprivileged sections. " However, Kejriwal expressed disappointment that even after 75 years of independence, the aspirations of martyrs and national leaders remain unfulfilled as those in power have misused their authority to plunder wealth. "Previous regimes ruined Punjab by spreading the curse of drugs and corruption," he asserted, adding that officials "mercilessly looted public money for safeguarding their own interests." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No More Belly Fat!

Kejriwal also lauded the recent anti-drug efforts, stating, "It is elated to learn that the backbone of the drug has been broken for which the state govt deserves a pat." He added, "The manner in which this anti-drug campaign has been launched finds no parallel in contemporary Indian history." Kejriwal claimed that "the most notorious and feared drug lord has been put behind the bars by an honest govt in the state." Highlighting the achievements under Mann's leadership, Kejriwal mentioned that Punjab has seen revolutionary changes in every sector, including the upgrading of schools, renovation of hospitals, extension of canal water to farmers, and the construction of 20,000 kilometres of rural roads. He also warned that if Congress or Akali-BJP return to power in the state, they would "derail the ongoing development in Punjab through their misdeeds. " Punjab CM Bhagwant Singh Mann echoed the sentiments, stating that it is the duty of the state govt to pay tribute to legendary martyrs who laid down their lives for the country. Mann highlighted the importance of naming airports, universities, and other institutions after martyrs to perpetuate their legacy. "Countrymen are enjoying the fruits of freedom due to the enormous sacrifices made by legendary heroes like Shaheed Udham Singh," he remarked. Mann recounted Shaheed Udham Singh's heroic act of killing Michael O'Dwyer at Caxton Hall. He criticised the British legacy, stating, "The British conferred the title of Sir to their stooges," and added, "A scion of this traitor family, involved in the drug trade, has now been lodged in the Nabha jail by the state govt for ruining generations of Punjab." The CM also lamented that despite more than 75 years of freedom, "the benefits of freedom have still not reached every household," attributing this to those in power who have "misused freedom to spread the tentacles of chitta (drugs), amass wealth by plundering the masses, and encouraging corruption along with other menaces." He criticised successive Prime Ministers for delivering similar statements during Independence Day speeches from the Red Fort without tangible progress, calling their addresses "theatrics". Mann lauded the efforts of the AAP in realising the dreams of martyrs and ensuring the comprehensive development and prosperity of Punjab. The occasion also saw the felicitation of the descendants of Shaheed Udham Singh by both the Mann and Kejriwal. Cabinet minister Aman Arora welcomed the chief minister and other dignitaries to the sacred land. MSID:: 123021528 413 |
