177 fake MC notices issued in Jalandhar West too: Angural

Ex-MLA and BJP leader Sheetal Angural on Sunday claimed that 177 fake Municipal Corporation notices had been issued in Jalandhar West against property owners in the same pattern as in Jalandhar Central. He said he had the proofs and expected Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to call him and take note of the same and take action against his minister Mohinder Bhagat, just as he did in case of Jalandhar Central MLA Raman Arora.

Angural said certain aggrieved persons from Jalandhar West had already given statements over fake notices since May 17 but there had been no action on these statements. He challenged Jalandhar Mayor Vaneet Dhir and Commissioner Gautam Jain to clarify on the notices within two days or else he would hold a demonstration. He said, “I shall also go to Chandigarh, carrying these notices. I shall tell the CM that arresting one MLA is not enough”.

Angural also claimed that 61 buildings had been sealed by the MC’s building branch in the past six months in Jalandhar West but the seals of all these buildings had been opened without following a proper procedure. Angural showed the copies of some ‘fake’ notices and sealed buildings on his phone to make his point.

Reacting to the allegations levelled by Angural, Bhagat said, “If the ex-MLA is levelling any charges against me, he should bring the evidences in public domain. He should produce the copies of these fake notices before MC officials, giving out a detailed list too. He should also hand out the list of the sealed and re-opened properties and ask the officials to verify them too. Angural lost MLA election and is now levelling fake allegations against me. I am answerable to the public. If any notice recipient levels any accusation against me, I shall be answerable to that person but I owe nothing to Angural. He is in the Opposition and he just wants to keep on disturbing me.”
