The Mohali municipal corporation (MC) House will meet on Monday to discuss several key proposals, including development of a compressed biogas (CBG) plant at Samgoli through HPCL Renewable & Green Energy (HPRGE), strengthening of several city roads, regularisation of contract sanitation workers, extension of sewerage services, and changes related to newly included sectors and villages. The meeting is scheduled to be held at 11 am on Monday. The House will also consider recruitment-related proposals and other civic works.
HPRGE, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, has approached Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) and the MC for the project. One of the major agenda items includes a proposal to allot around 15-20 acres of demarcated municipal land at Samgoli for setting up a municipal solid waste (MSW)-based CBG plant.
The House will also discuss several proposals concerning mechanical servicing and strengthening of roads. The agenda also includes a proposal concerning the widening and strengthening of certain roads and routes in the municipal area. Another significant proposal relates to sanitation staff appointed on a contractual basis. The agenda refers to government directions concerning the regularisation of services and seeks consideration of the cases of eligible workers. The House will consider their regularisation as per the applicable government policy.
These include routes between Phase 7 and Phase 8, Phase 11 and Phase 9, the Mohali Golf Club-IISER stretch, the Police Station-Mohali Pinjore road and other roads where additional bus passes or strengthening works have been sought. A separate proposal states that 697 sanitation workers were recruited in 2022, of whom 627 were appointed on contract, while 480 contract sanitation workers are currently working in the corporation.
