MC blacklists 4 advertisers for not paying licence fee
Acting tough on advertisers for not depositing licence fee, the Finance and Contract Committee of the Municipal Corporation today blacklisted four famous advertisers - Greenline, Gypsy Advertiser, August Advertiser and Rajiv Nanchahal.
The said companies have been debarred from applying for any tender of the municipal corporation which includes advertisements on unipoles, garbage bins, water tanks and traffic umbrellas.
August Advertiser has to pay Rs 3.6 lakh as the licence fee to the Municipal Corporation while Rajiv Nanchahal`s pending amount is Rs 60,000. Greenline`s outstanding amount is Rs 1.10 lakh while Rs 7.19 lakh is yet to be paid by Gypsy Advertiser.
Talking to Newsline, Senior Deputy Mayor Parveen Bansal confirmed the decision and said, "The erring companies have been told not to use any MC sites."
Meanwhile, the stalled construction of four roads has led to the escalation of project cost from Rs 3.39 crore to Rs 4.25 crore. Files will be rechecked before giving a final nod to the Jagraon Road till Ambedkar Chowk, Jagraon- Sherpur Road, Jagraon- Sidhwan Canal Road and Dhuriline.
In order to beautify the city, Rs 1.5 crore will be spent on streelights in the first phase. Municipal Commissioner GS Ghuman said, "The roads include Ferozepur Road, Chandigarh Road via Link Road. Most of the lights on these roads are faulty and hence they need to be replaced. Good quality lights have been installed on the main roads in Chandigarh to give a better look to the city and the same will be done in Ludhiana."
The corporation has also given a green signal to the idea of buying more equipment for the city.
Confirming the same, Pal Singh Grewal, another member of FandCC said, "We will get four more JCB machines, 3 sewer cleaning machines, 127 garbage bins, 6 more vehicles for tehbazari branch and few other items. The budget is over Rs 2 crore."
Decisions at FandCC meet* The committee approved solid waste treatment plant for the city. To be built at a cost of Rs 3.15 crore, the proposal has been sent to the state government for a final approval. * Projects worth Rs 400 crore announced in Sangat Darshans for Ludhiana rural and north constituencies were cleared today.* Around 40 new parks were allotted to park management committees.* The reserve price of Feroze Gandhi Market parking has been reduced from Rs 80 lakh to Rs 60 lakh. However, last time, the contract was awarded at Rs 72 lakh.* Garbage dump to have CCTV cameras with GPRS facility to note the movement of vehicles.* City to get more public tiolets
