Twentyfour days after the Local Bodies Department cancelled the membership of Amarjit Singh Sidhu as councillor, the BJP leader was back at the seat of Mayor in the Mohali Municipal Corporation office today.
Swinging into action following the death of a schoolgirl in Chandigarh after a tree fell on students recently, the Mohali Municipal Corporation has formed teams and started cutting dead trees.
A flood-like situation was witnessed in several parts of Mohali, Kharar and Zirakpur towns on Thursday as many areas were submerged in knee-deep water following a downpour that lasted around two hours on Thursday morning.

City Mayor Amarjit Singh Jeeti Sidhu today hit out at the Opposition for “misleading” the people.
He claimed that the Opposition councillors were “misinterpreting” the letter issued by the Local Bodies Department on June 28 over the enhancing of the financial powers of the Finance and Control Committee (F&CC) to Rs 1 crore.
“The fact is that the said letter has also clarified the details of the last two letters (2013-14) and also referred to the Sections 42/1 and 42/4 of the Municipal Act, under which F&CC committees or other committees are formed and given financial powers,” said Sidhu.
