Expand Mohali’s boundaries within 1 month, else will go back to HC: Dy Mayor to Punjab govt

He mentioned that after the final notification was not issued, Mohali residents and RTI activist Ram Kumar filed a case in the high court, upon which the government filed an affidavit agreeing to the expansion of the municipal boundaries.

Bedi pointed out that six months have passed since the government requested time, but no action has been taken so far, leading to growing frustration and anger among the people. “Since the boundaries are set to be sealed due to the population count, it is crucial that this resolution be implemented before that,” he added.

The Deputy Mayor further stated that he sent a written notice to the government on Tuesday and warned that if no action is taken within a month, he will take the matter back to the high court, and if necessary, file a petition for contempt of court.

Bedi claimed that the municipal elections in Mohali cannot take place until the boundary expansion is carried out because after the boundaries are expanded, the wards will need to be redefined.
