*Chandigarh, June 4:-* In a proactive move to safeguard public spaces and maintain the aesthetic and ecological balance of the city, the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh today carried out an anti-encroachment drive in the green belt area opposite Sham Mall, Sector 34.

Following the directions of MC Commissioner Sh. Amit Kumar, IAS, the enforcement wing took strict action against illegal parking of cars, motorcycles, and scooters in the green belt — a space reserved for greenery and public recreation. Such unauthorized usage not only causes inconvenience to the public but also damages the environment and violates civic norms.

During the drive, the enforcement team issued 20 challans to violators including Cars: 7 challans and Motorcycles/Scooters: 13 challans.

The Commissioner emphasized that public green spaces are meant for environmental sustainability and community use, and their encroachment by vehicles or any illegal activity will not be tolerated.

 This drive is part of MCC’s ongoing efforts to enforce discipline, promote responsible civic behavior, and ensure proper utilization of public land.

Commissioner Sh. Amit Kumar, IAS has directed all enforcement teams to regularly monitor such areas and take immediate action where violations are observed. He also appealed to citizens to support these efforts by parking only in designated areas and respecting public property.

The Municipal Corporation will continue to carry out such drives across the city in the coming weeks.

*Chandigarh, May 5:–* In response to growing complaints regarding water contamination and poor drainage in Maloya, a joint field inspection was conducted today by senior officials of MCC and public representatives of the area.

Following the directions from MC Commissioner Sh. Amit Kumar, IAS, the inspection team led by Sh. Sanjay Arora, Chief Engineer  accompanied by concerned Executive Engineers of Chandigarh Housing Board, Administration and other officers of MCC visited affected areas. The inspection team was also joined by Senior Deputy Mayor Sh. Jasbir Singh, Deputy Mayor Ms. Taruna Mehta, Area Councillor Ms. Darshana, and Councillor Mr. Gurpreet Singh Gappi.

During the visit, the officials walked through the affected areas, interacted with local residents, and noted their concerns regarding frequent water contamination and drainage problems, particularly during summer and rainy seasons.

Preliminary observations suggest that the contamination is caused by leakages in the water supply pipelines and the overflowing of sewerage lines, which has led to mixing of sewage with drinking water.

It was also informed during the inspection that, as per policy, the water supply system is to be handed over to the Municipal Corporation after five years of project completion. However, due to financial constraints, the Municipal Corporation has not yet taken over the system, which currently costs approximately Rs. 2.5 crores annually for operation and maintenance.

In the interest of public health, the Executive Engineers of the concerned Public Health Divisions have been directed to immediately test water samples, identify leakage points, and carry out necessary repairs.

The Commissiner and Chief Engineer of the Municipal Corporation have assured residents that prompt steps will be taken to resolve the issues. A comprehensive plan is being prepared to improve the water supply and drainage systems in Maloya, and remedial work will commence shortly.
