Members of the associations spoke about sanitisation, shifting of the vegetable market from Sector 17 to Sector 39; and menace due to beggars, garbage and illegal vendors.

Residents sought Covid-19 dispensaries for all sectors and random testing for the virus.

Sood urged people not to panic and said sector-wise testing will be possible, but Chandigarh was conducting tests according to Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines and the administration was earmarking more Covid-19 hospitals in Chandigarh.
