FEROZEPUR: Leader of opposition in the Vidhan Sabha and Abohar MLA Sunil Jakhar sat on a dharna in Abohar against the poor civic amenities in the town. Jakhar claimed that despite the Bharatiya Janata PartyShiromani Akali Dal (BJP-SAD) rule in the local MC, the twon was placed on 420th position in the cleanliness ranking among all cities in a survey conducted by the Union ministry of urban development.

He said that deputy chief minister Sukhbir Badal had laid the foundation stone of `72-crore sewerage project in February last year, but the NDA government at the Centre rejected the same. The deputy CM had in 2013 announced during the budget session of Punjab Vidhan Sabha that Abohar will be turned into a “city beautiful” but this too turned out to be a false promise.
