Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate from Panchkula Prem Garg on Thursday promised to provide city residents clean air and water.
“I will ensure residents are relieved of the unbearable stench emanating from the Jhuriwala dumping ground,” said Garg while campaigning in the constituency.
“Panchkula will emerge as one of the most sustainable and environment-friendly cities in the state,” he said, while targeting the Congress and the BJP for contributing to the woes of the residents in the trans-Ghaggar sectors.

Congress will provide residents resolutions at their doorstep: Mohan

Chander Mohan, while campaigning in Panchkula segment, said, “Seeing the last 10 years of tenure of the BJP MLA in Panchkula, people have become disillusioned with the BJP.

“BJP forgot to develop Panchkula and its surrounding areas for the last 10 years. Even basic problems like road construction, bus stand construction have not been solved till date, it has only been making false promises,” said Mohan, while claiming that the Congress had fulfilled all its promises.
