which were brought in the previous meeting of the House He further said that if the

down first before recarpetting of the roads He further asked the rate of charges for

providing pipeline of TT water under the gate

Smt Kamla Sharma said that TT water is to be provided everywhere in

the city being the policy matter therefore it should be done in one go instead of

piecemeals

Sh Mahesh Inder said that the TT water pipelines had been laid in the

Govt houses of UT amp private houses but the area of CPWD Sector 7 had been left

5

Sh Vinod Aggarwal said that no TT water pipeline had been laid down in

Manimajra whereas there is a big green belt He further said that potable water was

being used to irrigate the green belts in Manimajra therefore the TT water pipelines

suggested that the supply of TT water should be done between 1100 am to 500

pm after the supply of potable water to differentiate the supply of potable water He

further said that TT water is not being supplied in ward No24 25 amp 26 since long time

He further said that the level of the shallow water is very high and due to that reason

improved the shallow water should be used in place of TT water He suggested that

the 3BRD TT water should be supplied to the big houses He suggested for the

installation of shallow tubewells for the irrigation of green belts amp parks He further said

except 3BRD the quality of TT water of any STP is not good He further suggested

that the network of TT water pipelines should be laid down everywhere and the private

institutions should also be allowed for the shallow water tubewells He further

had been issued to install the shallow water tubewells immediately In case of failure

the heavy penalty should be imposed He further said that the BOD level of all the

STPs should be reduced between 0 to 5 which could be used in the industry also He

further said that three things are required ie PAN city TT water network strict

enforcement of bye-laws and less use of potable water and more use of TT water He

further emphasized that the supply of TT water may be free of charges so that the

consumption of potable water may be reduced

Sh Arun Sood that all the parks of his ward were being maintained by the

RWAs and it had been noticed that the problem of TT water supply was being faced

enforcement of bye-laws and less use of potable water and more use of TT water He

the business of the shopkeepers would be affected He further said that Chandigarh is

to the street vendors He further said that the provisional licence would be misused

displacement on the basis of provisional licence and the Corporation would indulge in

litigation

since long time had been left during the biometric survey an opportunity should be

given to them to submit their claims for licence with documentary proof

a survey slip but it is being misused He gave an example of tea stall in the park on

allotted sites as per plan He further said that during the survey and after that number

of vendors had increased and the Enforcement Wing had been facing the problem to

identify the actual vendor He further said that in view of the above facts and

circumstances provisional licences may be issued to the street vendors to avoid the

conflict between the street vendors and shop keepers and the earning of the

Corporation would start from the vendors as rent approved by the TVC

Smt Heera Negi said that some vendors had been working since long but

left during survey

names should be added in the list

The Commissioner said that 2frac12 of the total population of Chandigarh

are to be taken as vendor whereas there are only 21622 street vendors according to

the survey and our cut of number is approximately 25000 therefore if any eligible

vendor has been left his name would be added subsequently

Sh Devinder Babla said that after the issuance of licence to the vendors

the business of the shopkeepers would be affected He further said that Chandigarh is

a city beautiful and the number of vendors would deface the beauty of the city He

Chandigarh He further said that the survey was completed in the month of September

2016 but the planning department and Corporation could not finalize the vending zone

till date He further said that we should expedite the matter of vending zone He

licence would be provided to the vendors and they could not be evicted He also

suggested that no provisional licence should be provided till the finalization of vending

zone so that they could be adjusted systematically

Sh Mahesh Inder Singh also opposed the issuance of provisional licence

to the street vendors He further said that the provisional licence would be misused

He apprehended that if the vendor is displaced he can approach the court against the

displacement on the basis of provisional licence and the Corporation would indulge in

litigation

Sh Arun Sood said that some vendors those had been residing in the city

since long time had been left during the biometric survey an opportunity should be

given to them to submit their claims for licence with documentary proof

displacement on the basis of provisional licence and the Corporation would indulge in

litigation

since long time had been left during the biometric survey an opportunity should be

the business of the shopkeepers would be affected He further said that Chandigarh is

since long time had been left during the biometric survey an opportunity should be
