Munish Gupta assured them if he voted to power, he would not leave any stone unturned to meet all basic civic amenities, which are remained un-addressed so far.

However we repeatedly pleas to incumbent councillor Raj Rani of Bhartiya Janta Party for repairing and maintaining the lanes and drains but our requests have yield nothing.
Sunita Devi residing in same lane informed Munish Gupta that few years back, the Committee covered all the drains with steel grills but now-a-days, some grills are decomposed and some were stealing. The open manholes become a porn to accident for bikers and once in a week a young bikers met with accident and authority seems least bothered about.

However all the documents including ration card, voter list and even getting testimony from Doctor, Naib Tehsildar and Patwari but their pension is still lingering on.

Electricity plays hide and seek, residents tells Munish Gupta

Sudesh Chouhary said that we are facing problem of low voltage, erratic power supply since long time and in this regard, we knocked every door of office concerned and even local Corporator but nobody come forward to provide relief us. "The erratic power supply is not giving sleepless night but also damaging the electrical appliances like refrigerator, fans, cooler and other electronic goods", she added.
Satinder Kour said that the only transformer installed in our locality is getting overloaded, which results supply low voltage and unscheduled curtailment. "Earlier we use to face power crisis only few days of peak summers but this time we continuing reeling under acute shortage of electricity which making the our lives miserable especially children and elderly person.
