Gupta said that Chaitra Navratri is commencing from April 2 and Chief Minister Khattar will dedicate several development projects pertaining to various departments, to the people of Panchkula on April 10. On the same day he is also set to address a “Vikas Rally”.

While reviewing the development works, Gupta directed officers of concerned departments to expedite the pace of some work and also resolve inter-departmental issues in a stipulated time frame so that work is not hampered.

Expressing dissatisfaction over the action being taken against illegal encroachment in Panchkula, Gupta said that it is the responsibility of the concerned SHO and junior engineer (JE) of Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) or Panchkula Municipal Corporation, to ensure that such illegal settlements do not return once they have been torn down.

He also sought a report on the action taken in such cases so far. Besides this, Gupta also asked the civic body to allot vacant spaces to street vendors in the already established vending zones through a draw of lots and also to identify sites for the setting up of new vending zones.
