CHANDIGARH, January 20: Those attending marriage parties in community centre lawns have experienced it time and again. Nauseating stench, rising from heaps of rubbish, fills the nostrils as relatives and friends move around the uneven ground, striving to maintain their balance.This is not all. Even the halls and rooms are in poor shape. These and some other problems encountered by the revellers, attending weddings in any of the 12 community centres in the City, have been brought to a City court's notice.The UT Sub Judge (Ist Class), K C Garg, while taking up the civil suit filed by Punjab Civil and Consumer Welfare Front, has issued notice to the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh for February 3, here today.The counsel for the plaintiff, H.S. Dhillon has stated that almost all the community centres are neglected. The lawns are unkept, rooms poorly maintained. The services charges, collected by the organisers, are misused and large amounts have to be spent for getting the lawns cleaned. The rooms have not been whitewashed since ages, giving a bad impression.He has added that a City resident had to cut a sorry figure before the guests attending a wedding as heaps of rubbish, in the Sector 23 Community Centre, were emitting foul smell. Even the rooms and the hall were dirty.
