UP: Bajrang Dal workers protest lack of water, civic amenities in Aligarh
Aligarh (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 19 (ANI): Members of Bajrang Bal on Sunday staged a protest against the local municipal corporation over alleged lack of amenities near the Mayor's residence in the Barahdwari area of Aligarh district.
The members of the right-wing outfit gathered at Ramlila Maidan in Aligarh and, thereafter, reached Aligarh Mayor Prashant Singhal's residence in the Barahdwari area of the district with banners and posters to protest against alleged irregularities by the municipal corporation.
"Local municipal staff are shirking their basic civic duties. Garbage is not being collected and mud is being dumped on the roads. We even took up our plight with the mayor, who assured us that the issues that we have raised will be addressed," another resident told ANI.
"We held discussions with the local councillors and have prepared a plan of action for the entire city. We have planned to solve the water supply problem and work on filling potholes on city roads will start once the monsoon season is over," the mayor said.
