UT Advisory Council needs wider representation: Chandigarh Social

The members stated that the administration has failed to acknowledge that a vibrant section of sectors from Sector 48 to 51 and ahead has come to exist. It was said that the Administration should include “natural representatives” of the area so that aspirations of the residents of third phase sectors also find representation.

The representation to Home Secretary Ram Niwas further states that the officials,who are included as ex officio members,are already assigned with work in many departments in their respective official capacities. They are responsible to evolve policies and implement these for the benefit of the residents. The members of the Advisory Council should bring forth such issues,which are overlooked while officials are discharging their regular functions.

General Secretary of the council Satish Sharma said with Chandigarh Administration desiring a widely-representative Administrator’s Advisory Council,reflecting the aspirations of different social,political and business interests,a judicious mix of the grassroot level representatives and experienced retired people should exist.
