Ludhiana: A day after the civic body officials were accused of including ‘dead, non-existent and long-absent’ employees in the list of contractual employees to be regularised, MC commissioner Shena Aggarwal marked an inquiry to MC joint commissioner Ankur Mahindroo who has to submit a report within a week. The row had erupted during the General House meeting when MC officials tabled the resolution to regularise 3,593 contractual sweepers and sewermen.
