Today, the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation launched a novel initiative to educate those who trash in public areas throughout the city. A drum will now be beaten at the door to remind anyone caught littering of the consequences. Litterers will also receive challans (fines) in addition to verification by the Area Inspector.

Residents have been asked to share pictures of trash on the Municipal Corporation app in order to keep the city tidy.

A loud, public “honor” was given to two families in Mani Majra on Monday when Chandigarh Municipal Corporation members appeared outside their homes with drums and bugles. This was not a celebration; rather, the goal was to give each family a ₹13,401 challan and return the rubbish they had left in a public space.

When the demonstrators broke over the barricades, Chandigarh’s SSP Kawardeep Kaur, who had gone to the entrance to stop them, ordered a Lathi Charge.

Students at Punjab University in Chandigarh are furious and demand that the date of senior selection be announced. Every route that connects the border between Chandigarh and Mohali has been closed. Parents who pick up their kids from school are often stuck as a result.

After pushing and shoving with the police, students smashed through Gate Number 1 in front of PGI. The students continued notwithstanding the presence of SSP Kawardeep Kaur from Chandigarh. The demonstrators who had breached the barricade were then subject to a Lathi Charge by the police.

The students had already gained entry by breaking through the same gate. They got into a fight with the police during this period. But now Gate Number 1 is fully operational. Nihang Sikhs are among the students and demonstrators entering the university from this location.

At Phase 6, the Mohali-Chandigarh boundary, farmers have broken through the police wall. They are currently moving towards Chandigarh from Panjab University’s (PU) side. At first, the cops made an unsuccessful attempt to halt them. Balvir Rajewal, a farmer leader, questioned the purpose of the Haryana Police’s presence in Mohali.

The police have set up a barricade at YPS Chowk in Mohali to impede access to Chandigarh. The police have sealed the area from all four sides because they believe there may be a jam there.

Even a judge’s vehicle was prevented from entering Chandigarh by the Mohali police. When the driver of the automobile got out and claimed that the vehicle belonged to a judge, the Chandigarh Police did not permit it. The driver then drove the vehicle back.

The supporters were told to stop where they were when they saw the police arrangements, but they began a sit-in instead. On Sunday night, the students caused a commotion and persisted in their sit-in protest at the campus entrance until late at night. The university has announced a two-day holiday for today (November 10) and tomorrow in response to the student protest. In support of the students’ demand, farmers and numerous political parties are participating in the demonstration.

People were given notice in advance.

Around two weeks prior to the event, the notice was plastered on the shanties and announced around the colony by the Estate Office’s Enforcement Wing to the rhythm of a drum. Residents had received a warning from the administration to leave the colony by September 30. After then, today’s activity was taken.

Member of Parliament Malvinder Kang Visits Kharar Mandi and Tehsil Office

Directs officials to ensure smooth facilitation for farmers and public

Sept. 26, Kharar (SAS Nagar):
S. Malvinder Singh Kang, a member of parliament from Sri Anandpur Sahib, made an unexpected visit to the local Tehsil office and Grain Market today to examine procurement procedures and evaluate revenue-related services offered to citizens.

The MP oversaw the arrival and purchase of paddy at the Grain Market and gave procurement agencies instructions to make sure that farmers and Arhtiyas would not encounter any difficulties during the current season. He recalled that the Centre Government’s lack of collaboration had caused some problems the previous year. But this year, he added, procurement activities have been advanced to give farmers enough time to harvest and sell their produce, even though the state is simultaneously concentrating on flood assistance and recovery.

He stressed that in accordance with the Bhagwant Singh Mann Government’s pledge, paddy will be bought continuously, with payments made on time, and stocks lifted. In order to maintain a seamless and open procedure, he gave officials proactive instructions.

Later, MP Kang went to the Kharar Tehsil complex to examine how the Tehsildar Office, Sub Registrar Office, and Sewa Kendra were operating. He praised the Mohali district’s “Easy Registry” effort, which made deed registration easier, and instructed Sub Registrars to make sure that all residents quickly benefited from it. He emphasised that the public should not be inconvenienced by the timely completion of paperwork and related procedures.

Additionally, the MP promised to use monies from the MP LAD plan to upgrade public amenities like drinking water and chairs in the Tehsil complex, if necessary.

SDM Kharar Divya P and Tehsildar Gurvinder Kaur joined him at the Tehsil, while Market Committee Chairman Hakam Singh and DFSC Ms. Navreet accompanied him on the mandi visit. The MP was reassured by both authorities that citizens will still have simple and effective access to government services.

Flights from Chandigarh, which are frequently impacted by fog and mist throughout the winter, will now depart on schedule. Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport’s Instrument Landing System (ILS) Cat-2 has been improved in order to accomplish this. In order to do this, the airport authority has placed an order for the necessary equipment from Korea.

According to Ajay Verma, CEO of Chandigarh International Airport, the installation procedure will be finished in four to five months. Runway-29 at the airport now has a Cat-2 ILS, which prevents landings in visibility below 1200 feet. Following the improvement, Runway-11 will have a new system that will enable landing with visibility of up to 750 feet.

In December and January, visibility frequently falls below 1000 feet, which results in aircraft cancellations or delays. Airlines and the airport authority suffer significant losses as a result. The approximate cost of this renovation is two crore rupees. According to airport officials, installing a Cat-3 ILS is prohibited since Chandigarh is an Air Force installation. For security considerations, the Air Force has not authorized this device, which enables planes to land even when visibility is zero. As a result, the update is limited to the Cat-2.

Additionally, the airport now has more Smart Visual Docking Guidance Systems (SVDGS). There are now fifteen systems instead of the prior five. These systems use high-resolution cameras and sensors to help the airplane park accurately. A marshal won’t be needed to direct the aircraft into the parking bay as a result.

According to CEO Ajay Verma, aircraft will be able to land in 750 feet of visibility thanks to Runway-11’s updated ILS. Additionally, safety and efficiency will be enhanced by the rise in SVDGs.
