City councillor inspects Sector 15, take notes of ongoing, stalled projects
Councillor Saurabh Joshi along with MC officials went to Sector 15 to inspect the ongoing and stalled projects on Thursday.
During the inspection, the poor state of infrastructure, particularly in the market area, was highlighted. Officials assured the councillor that maintenance work, including repairs of market pathways, broken railings, would commence within a week.
A major point of concern raised during the visit was the stalled ‘Zero Waste Food Street’ project. Originally set to be dedicated to the public in August 2022, as per commitments made by the then commissioner, the project remains unfinished.
Councillor Joshi urged the officials to take immediate action to resolve these issues and ensure that pending projects are completed without further delay.
