Mohali: BJP manifesto promises AI surveillance, flood measures, SAD recalls past works

To strengthen public safety, the BJP has proposed an AI-based surveillance network with high-resolution CCTV cameras across major roads, markets, religious and other places

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unveiled its manifesto for the upcoming Mohali Municipal Corporation elections on Friday, promising technology-driven governance, anti-corruption measures and major civic infrastructure upgrades if voted to power. The Shiromani Akali Dal also released its vision document, outlining its development roadmap while highlighting infrastructure works worth ₹2,500 crore carried out during the party’s tenure in Punjab.

To deal with traffic congestion in Mohali, the party promised a smart parking network, app-based parking availability systems and mini multi-level parking hubs.

Branded as “Our Sankalp”, the BJP’s manifesto outlines a 10-point roadmap focused on urban mobility, public safety, sanitation, water supply and flood management. A key promise is the release of a white paper within six months on “corruption and financial irregularities” during the previous Congress and AAP-led municipal administrations, backed by an independent audit committee.
