The Vadodara City Congress led by President Prashant has given a public memorandum to the Municipal Commissioner demanding facilities to citizens facing problems including roads, drainage, and contaminated water in the city. He mentioned that people are paying three times more tax than other cities in Gujarat, but the corporation has failed miserably. He pointed out the condition of the roads in the city which is reducing the lifespan of people’s vehicles. They demanded punishment for the corrupt and they also shouted slogans against the administration.
The memorandum alleges that the city is plagued with stagnant and foul-smelling water which has created fear amongst the public regarding water-borne diseases along with the on-going pandemic.
Prashant Patel said, “Congress workers including opposition leader Chandrakant Srivastava, councilor Anil Parmar, Chirag Zaveri, Farid Katpiswala, spokesperson Amit Gotikar arrived at the Municipal Corporation Office with banners and posters. An application was also submitted to provide basic facilities to the people of Vadodara city as soon as possible.
Municipal Commissioner P. Swaroop said that they have received complaints about damaged roads, contaminated water, drainage, and sanitation. The corporation has started working on the matter on a priority basis and the first action has been taken to provide clean water to the people of Vadodara.
