Mayor Balkar Singh Sandhu on Tuesday conducted a surprise inspection at the municipal corporation(MC) Zone ‘A’ office based on public complaints against agents sitting there. The agents sitting there get work done illegally.
The mayor warned the officials of strict action if any of them was caught working in close association with such agents.
Sandhu, accompanied by councillor Rakesh Prashar, conducted the inspection at around 11 am. A few unofficial persons, sitting with the staff in Suvidha Kendra, fled the spot on seeing the mayor.
The MC officials said that earlier also the mayor had received complaints regarding agents, who are hand in glove with the MC staff and get illegal works done through the backdoor.
Mayor Sandhu said, “Strict action will be taken against employees caught benefitting the agents, who ultimately dupe the public.”
