He further congratulated all while showing satisfaction for the recent announcement related to the extension of Municipality limits. He said that the demand to extend the Municipality limits was a long pending and genuine demand of the local population.

Varinderjit Singh said that while this step will surely help in raising the infrastructure and other necessary facilities in the region, there is further need to include certain more areas into the list to ensure their development so that the people can be benefited with certain projects like “Smart City” and other facilities. The body demanded that Old Satwari, Chattha Panchayat, Raipur Satwari, Belicharana, Barjala, Rohi etc.

The meeting further decided to press for the early conduct of Municipal elections in the state, so that the common public could be benefited by the allocation of administration at the ground level. This will enable the public to get their works easily done without much hassle.
