News Patiala: 27th July 2022
In order to rationalize the workload and to save avoidable administrative expenditure, a proposal regarding the abolition of existing posts of Additional Deputy Commissioner (Urban Development) at each district headquarter except at Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Patiala, Bathinda, and SAS Nagar is under consideration of the State Government.
Govt decided that the powers currently with ADC (UD) in the remaining 17 districts will be devolved to ADC (G) or Commissioner Municipal Corporation of the respective district, as deemed appropriate. The memorandum regarding the aforementioned proposal is likely to be placed in the forthcoming cabinet meeting.
