Chandigarh Admin Appoints New Chief Engineer
The Chandigarh Administration has appointed C B Ojha as the new Chief Engineer for the Municipal Corporation.
This means Ojha will now be in charge of all engineering work for the city.
The previous Chief Engineer, Sanjay Arora, was removed from his position.
Some people think Arora was removed because he didn't follow the BJP's wishes, while others say it was due to issues with how he handled projects and tenders.
The exact reason for the change is still unclear, but Ojha is expected to officially receive the order soon.
C B Ojha, handling the charge of Chief Engineer of the Chandigarh Administration, is now the MC’s chief engineer.
Ojha's appointment was confirmed by MC Commissioner Amit Kumar.
Sanjay Arora was removed from the post of MC Chief Engineer last Friday.
The Chandigarh Congress alleged Arora's removal due to not aligning with the BJP.
BJP stated that all public works were stuck due to Arora's presence.
