Free water: Mayor to meet Chandigarh administrator today

Hindustan Times  

City mayor Kuldeep Kumar Dhalor will meet Punjab governor and UT administrator Banwarilal Purohit on Wednesday, where he will take up several issues, including the annual 5% hike in water tariffs and the proposal of providing 20,000 litres of free water to each household every month. While the free water decision remains on hold, the annual 5% hike on water tariff has kicked in from April 1 in Chandigarh. Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, the Chandigarh municipal corporation House on March 11, led by the mayor who owes allegiance to the Aam Aadmi Party, had approved 20,000 litres of free water to each household every month. Opposed to the move, the mayor had written a letter to the secretary of UT’s local bodies department and demanded “immediate halt on annual hike” and “free 20,000 litres of water to every household”.
