An inquiry will be conducted against fake ration cards as cases have been found where the persons mentioned on the card are non-existent. Action will be taken against those found guilty, the Deputy Commissioner said. She said the installing of the tubewell under the MITC project in Kherawali was complete and the administration was also planning to come out with a decision of uniform rent on shops in Kalka. When asked about the relief fund, the Deputy Commissioner told that the money will be utilised in rehabilitating the families of the soldiers killed in the Kargil conflict.

Superintendent of Police, Alok Mittal, who was also present at the meeting, when asked about the law and order situation in the township said it was under control and the 6 PCR’s in the township helped make them even more efficient. Whenever the police control room receives complaints, the nearest PCR rushes to the spot, he said.

When asked about the implementation of the recent High Court order regarding traffic regulations, he said the police were already challaning the vehicles with red lights and black films and as for the speed limit, notification has been made and once it is received, it will be implemented. Regarding the formation of the Municipal Committee, the DC said so far no decision has been taken. She also directed that strict note should be made of the protest of people who demand that only fruit and vegetable sellers should be allowed in the Kisan mandis.

She said the Kisan Mandi in front of Suraj Theatre has been banned because it was a major traffic hazard.
