BJP member vents ire at VMC officials

Vadodara: After legislators complained that civic body officials were not listening to them, a similar incident has sparked a row at the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC).

The issue of cleaning and levelling a depression in the Kishanwadi area led to the situation heating up after it was not attended despite promise by the civic body officials.

The depression in Jhanda Chowk in Kishanwadi has become a spot where garbage was being dumped continuously despite repeated reminders.

Due to requests by local residents of Kishanwadi, the issue was raised with the civic body by BJP member Bijal Vyas who is also the husband of a local corporator, Tejal Vyas.

Following Vyas’s repeated demands, the VMC on Tuesday promised him that the depression will be cleared and levelling work will be done in the area on Wednesday morning.

“Work was to begin at 10am and we reached the site, but nobody came. After much delay, when we contacted officials they suggested we should wait till tomorrow (Thursday),” said Bijal.

Peeved at the situation, Bijal contacted the top brass of the VMC demanding that the work should be taken up at the earliest.

“The area is filled with stench and even I had to cover my nose with a handkerchief. It is harmful for the health of the people,” said Vyas. After the row was sparked, the civic body rushed a team of workers to the spot and started cleaning work.
