Chandigarh: Hundreds of AAP volunteers protested against the steep increase of water tariffs by the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation, inspite of the assurance by the wrongly elected Mayor, that her party will not allow any increase and will take with her all the 35 councilors. AAP city President Prem Garg said that the Aam Aadmi Party will not remain silent on the issue of water tariffs and has demanded that there should be an open debate in the MC House on this issue and whatever the 35 councilors collectively decide, will be acceptable to all and the public will also know the reality of situation.

This protest was against the increased water tariffs from April 1. Aam Aadmi Party, which gave a guarantee of providing 20KL free water to every household in the municipal elections, tried to raise the voice of the common man by protesting. Prem Garg says that Aam Aadmi Party will not sit silent on the issue of water. At this time, not only all the political parties but the residents of the city are also opposing the increased rates of water. Prem Garg says that the residents of the city do not need water 24 hours a day, by taking a loan of crores of rupees and repaying it in foreign currency in later years, as is being planned by the Chandigarh Administration.

The city residents will have to bear the heavy brunt. Prem Garg asked, how it is fair to double the water rates, no party can agree on the new rates of water and the people of the city have given their mandate by offering 28% votes to the Aam Aadmi Party. So now the whip of the BJP will no more work. In the protest on the directions of the party in-charge Shri Jarnail Singh ji, all the senior leaders, all councilors and party workers participated, Mr. Harmohan Dhawan, Vikram Dhawan, Mr. Pradeep Chhabra, Mr. Vijay Pal Singh Youth President Jassi Luhanna, Mrs. Meena Sharma, Vikram Pundir, Lalit Mohan, Gurdev Yadav, Sunny Aulakh, Arvind Chauhan etc. leaders along with more than 500 hundred workers participated in the protest.
