Residents met Sudhir Chauhan, senior town planner (STP), two weeks ago and submitted a memorandum. “I have conveyed their request to the head office Chandigarh. We are waiting for the appropriate direction from the head office,” said Chauhan.

Anil Hasija, senior vice president of Ardee Infrastructure Private Limited, said, “I am not aware of such a campaign at all. We are maintaining colony well, however.”

Area councillor Kuldeep Vohra said that he will raise the issue at the MCG House meeting on September 3.
