KAPURTHALA: Punjab Local Bodies and Tourism Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu on Sunday reiterated that the drive against illegal colonies and buildings in the state would continue despite resistance by some people, including from his own party.
The government would take a tough stand against the illegal colonisers and builders who would obstruct the ongoing drive in the state, Sidhu said while talking to media persons here after inspecting the ongoing repair of heritage buildings in Kapurthala.
Replying to a question regarding complaints by some Congress MLAs against him to Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, he said he was not bothered about “such complaints and his department would continue the drive”.
Notably, Congress MLA of Jalandhar (West) constituency, Sushil Rinku, had staged a protest for nearly two hours on Friday and allegedly did not let a team of the municipal corporation demolish an illegal structure in his constituency.
