He directed the authorities to resolve them immediately. Mayor Amarjit Singh Jeeti Sidhu, Senior Deputy Mayor Amrik Singh Somal, Deputy Mayor Kuljit Singh Bedi were specially present on the occasion.
It may be mentioned here that this is the first time in Mohali that a resolution has been passed by the Mohali Municipal Corporation to carry out development works worth crores of rupees within various housing societies in Mohali city.

Addressing a gathering of people on the occasion former Health Minister Punjab and MLA Mohali Balbir Singh Sidhu said that the previous Municipal Corporation in Mohali had not taken any step for the societies of Mohali and he himself took personal interest through the Commissioner of Mohali Municipal Corporation. This resolution was passed by the Punjab Government and development work was started in the societies.
The former Health Minister said that in the municipal elections the people of Mohali had voted for the Congress party candidates who won by a landslide victory and Amarjit Singh Jeeti Sidhu was made the mayor and since then development works worth crores of rupees started in various housing societies in Mohali. He said that the people living in the societies of Mohali were fully entitled to the city like facilities and infrastructure as these residents pay their due property tax to the Mohali Municipal Corporation.
Former Health Minister and MLA Balbir Singh Sidhu said that Mohali Municipal Corporation has already undertaken development works worth Rs. 38 lakh and additional Rs 20 lakh would be spent for sewerage upgradation. He said that apart from this all the needs of the people in the society would be met by the Municipal Corporation.
Former Health Minister Mr. Balbir Singh Sidhu said that the entire constituency of Mohali was his own family and he had taken the responsibility of development here which he would never deny. He said that Mohali was a fast growing city and no shortage of funds would be allowed for its development. He said that he got crores of rupees due to Mohali Municipal Corporation from various departments including GMADA and besides this huge amount has also been given to the Municipal Corporation as government grant to help in the development of Mohali. He said that today development work was in full swing in every single part of Mohali and the Punjab government was always committed for the development of this important city.
