Mohali: Guru Nanak Colony remains devoid of basic civic amenities despite tall claims by administration

Despite the Department of rural development’s claims of spending crores of Rupees on development projects at the panchayat level, residents of Guru Nanak Colony at Mubarikpur road near Derabassi have been devoid of even the basic civic amenities, such as concrete roads and street lights.

Moreover, the area also lacks a sizeable sewage system to drain wastewater, especially during monsoon.

A resident of Guru Nanak Colony, Sudhir said, “Whenever we meet the concerned officers and panchayat members, we are given the excuse of the need of a big budget for our streets. They maintain that certain streets are long and wide in size, but funds are limited. We have been getting these excuses for the last several years. During rains, it becomes impossible to cross the street. Waterlogging has become a major problem.”
