The visit aimed to address concerns related to encroachments, cleanliness, street lights, power supply, water availability, and infrastructure development.

Taking swift action, the DC imposed penalties on shopkeepers found littering in front of their shops, emphasizing the importance of maintaining cleanliness.
Another significant issue identified was the inadequate street lighting in certain areas. To enhance security measures, the DC directed the installation of CCTV cameras in shops for surveillance purposes, ensuring a safer environment for residents and businesses alike.

In addition to these infrastructural concerns, the Deputy Commissioner emphasized the significance of community development. The Public Works Department (PWD) was instructed to resume work immediately on the community hall at Bantalab Chowk and initiate beautification projects in the area, uplifting the overall ambiance and creating a more welcoming atmosphere. Taking a strong stance against derelict officials, the Deputy Commissioner ordered explanations from the Tehsil Supply Official and Junior Engineer to hold them accountable for their negligence. Stringent action will be taken to rectify the shortcomings and improve service delivery.
Moreover, Deputy Commissioner Sharma expressed his commitment to maintaining a clean city by advocating for zero littering and implementing door-to-door waste collection systems.
