NGT to Kapurthala DM: File action taken report against Sultanpur Lodhi MC

A copy of the NGT order was received by the DM two days back. The order was also forwarded to its regional committee of north. The action is to be taken within a month after receiving the copy of the order.

A complaint was filed by one Jaswant Singh who said that despite signing a contract to dump garbage on his five marla plot, the civic body was throwing waste on his one acre field. He had even complained to Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh.

As per the complaint, the contract was signed in 2013 with the council, which was supposed to pay him Rs 80,000 annually as rent for using his land. Neither the civic body paid him the rent, nor fulfilled the contract terms, mentioned Singh.

The council was also to make a boundary wall and lift garbage from here daily, but it was not done. The complainant even asked the council to vacate his plot, but they are not vacating it. The DM could not be contacted for his comments.
