Chandigarh: Sector 48 residents install house indicator signboards

“Because of the financial crunch, the Municipal Corporation could not spare this amount and ultimately he managed the money from the Residents Welfare Association of Sector 48. Though the project was approved by the Municipal Corporation and installed with its permission, the entire amount has been collected and spent by the residents of the area by way of public participation,” Moudgil said.

J J Singh, president of the Residents Welfare Association of Sector 48 (A,B,C & D), said that these indicators will enable the people, especially those visiting from outside, to identify the place where they have to go.

Appreciating this move, Satya Pal Jain said that installation of this project, which is perhaps the first of its type in Chandigarh, and that too by public participation, will be an example for the residents of other sectors also to involve themselves in the developmental activities. He said that because of the Corona virus, leading to financial crunch in the Municipal Corporation and other Government agencies, the public participation is a must for carrying out various Developmental works.
