LUDHIANA: Mayor Balkar Sandhu has led by instance, depositing pending dues worth Rs 31,000 for the set up of his own underground submersible pumps within the dairy complex on Hambran Road on Saturday. “I had not deposited the user charges for the previous few years. Therefore, I must take the initiative and clear my dues too. I paid Rs 31,000 to the MC,” he stated.
Yes, even ahead of the civic officers may get started recovery of the user charges from residents who had put in unlawful submersible pumps at their apartments and did not clear the pending dues, the mayor took the imitative and deposited the pending amount. “Earlier, no person got here ahead to collect the dues however then we began a survey in opposition to the defaulters to get well the pending dues. It could also be my duty to deposit my dues,” he stated.
The MC officers have detected more than four,000 submersible pumps, which have been put in illegally within the premises, within the survey. The survey was kicked off in April to collect the report of total submersible pumps in city and recovery of the pending dues from the defaulters, who've put in the pumps illegally of their houses.
The MC has began issuing the recovery notices to the defaulters and asked them to shed light on the outstanding amount from 2010 until 2018. The officers stated they've began receiving the pending dues and have already recovered Rs 50 lakh from the defaulters.
The survey will likely be completed by June 15. Meanwhile, officers from different branches of MC could also be put on this activity. The officers stated just about four,000 submersibles had been traced for which the residents don't seem to be paying the user charges.
The MC recovers user charges from residents because they throw extra water within the MC sewerage system through submersibles particularly when MC is already offering water through tube wells.
Meanwhile, mayor Sandhu blamed the previous govt and stated it was their duty to get well the pending amount from all imaginable assets. However, they by no means paid attention. Sandhu rued that now they don't have enough money to pay the salaries of the officers and hence they began this survey.
As consistent with officers, there is a entire ban on set up of submersibles privately because of extra digging of ground and falling ranges of ground water since 2010. In case somebody needs to put in the submersible pump, then he has to use to a 23-member committee headed by the additional commissioner (building) for an approval. The committee members would then test the valuables and take a call whether or not the submersible pump can be allowed or not.
