Sharing his vision for Chandigarh, Mr Anup Gupta, Mayor, Chandigarh Municipal Corporation said, “There are multiple aspects that the MC can cater to, since departments such as cleanliness, horticulture, fire, etc. come under its ambit. Our priority will be looking at civic amenities, which will encompass enhancing infrastructure for the industry as well.”
