Residents demand basic civic amenities

The memorandum was signed by about 50 residents, including Sham Lal, Tarsem Chand Sharma, Gian Singh, Charan Singh and Bawa Singh. They said that in the absence of drinking water supply, the residents were forced to drink contaminated water from hand pumps, which had been declared unfit for human consumption.

They accused the Kharar Municipal Council authorities as well as the district administration of not fulfilling their demands for many years. Colony resident Sham Lal, who handed over the memorandum to the Chief Minister, said that Badal had promised to fulfill their genuine demands in the near future.
