Jalandhar: The tussle between Senior Deputy
Mayor Kamaljit Singh Bhatia and Municipal Corporation staff
came to an amicable end today with union leaders apologising
unconditionally to Bhatia, who was manhandled by union leaders
on February four in the Commissioner's office.
Condemning the incident, ministerial union president
Narinder Singh offered unconditional apology on behalf of
other MC unions in the presence of Mayor Rakesh Rathore,
Deputy Commissioner Ajeet Singh Pannu, Senior Superintendent
of Police (SSP) R K Jaiswal and Municipal Commissioner Vinay
Bublani among others.
Union leaders Pawan Baba, Naresh Kumar and others
welcomed Bhatia when he reached the corporation complex.
Mayor Rakesh Rathore said a preliminary investigation
found that the secretary of MC Ashok Sharma allegedly provoked
union leaders against Bhatia and accordingly disciplinary
action against him was recommended to the government.
Bhatia along with 13 more SAD leaders had resigned from
the primary membership of party and unions had announced
indefinite strike after the manhandling episode.
