The councillors of new wards of Dehradun accused the Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD) of neglecting issues of new 40 wards out of the 100 wards. The councillors met municipal commissioner Vinay Shankar Pandey and conveyed their issues to him.They stated that corporation has not provided adequate sanitation facilities in new wards of Dehradun. According to councillors, proposal of increasing sanitation workers in new wards was passed in last board meeting but no additional sanitation worker was provided to councillors of new wards so far which is causing hindrance in maintaining cleanliness in their respective wards. They opined that MCD should pay more attention to improvement of new wards by taking measures like installation of street lights besides ensuring proper sanitation and garbage collection facilities but the corporation is doing all such things only in older wards. According to councillor of Bharuwala Grant, Rajesh Parmar, the MCD claimed to install LED street lights in some of new wards but most of street lights are old which were previously installed in old wards. "Hardly any new LED street lights were installed by corporation in the new wards. All street lights installed in new wards are damaged lights from the old wards which were installed in our wards after repairing. We get complaints every other day from residents of our wards that street light has stopped working again. It is not right attitude of the corporation towards people of new wards," said Parmar. Moreover, the councillors also said that there is no proper facility of garbage dumping and door to door garbage collection in new wards provided by MCD as in old wards. The new wards also include some suburban areas where bushes have grown on side of roads leading to water accumulation which is a potential place for mosquitoes breeding, said councillors. Parmar said that they met municipal commissioner Vinay Shankar Pandey on Tuesday regarding said issues and he has assured them to look into matter.
