Water wasted for a dust-free welcome to Union Minister Harsimrat
- Malout: Even though the Local Bodies Department has told all civic bodies to save water and penalise those wasting water, officials here on Friday sprinkled a lot of water on roads to give a dust-free welcome to Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal.
- Harsimrat had come here to flag off the Sriganganagar-Nanded Sahib train. Throwing rules to wind, officials deployed tankers to sprinkle water on the route marked for VVIP’s visit.
- A social activist said, “The officials must be fined. The Deputy Commissioner should take a suo motu action in this regard.”
- Executive Officer Jagsir Singh, however, said, “No water was sprinkled on the road. Tankers were deployed as part of drinking water arrangements.” — Archit Watts
