Chandigarh lags behind in every segment: Former Minister

Chandigarh, Aug 20 (UNI) Former Union Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal on Thursday said that it's a sad day for residents of Chandigarh, a the city popularly known as the City Beautiful, has moved down to 16th position in Swachhata rankings.
Mr Bansal said that the ranking had always been at the top under the Congress regime. Now, since the last 4 years under BJP rule, the rankings had steadily dropped due to bad governance, inefficient administration and the negligence of the Municipal Corporation.
According to a report of the Centre for Science and Environment based on Swatch Bharat Mission inputs, Chandigarh has recorded 90 per cent waste processing, 100 per cent door-to-door collection of garbage and in 24 of the 26 wards 95 per cent segregation of waste. These high claims are not only untrue but border on the ludicrous and bizarre.
