The Roorkee Mahanagar Congress has announced opposition to the proposed 100-rupee user charge by the Municipal Corporation, warning that it may take its protest to the streets if the plan moves forward.

Mahanagar Congress district president Rajendra Chaudhary said the party would not allow the charge to be imposed on residents under any circumstances. He said Congress would continue opposing what it described as an additional financial burden on the public.

The warning was issued during a membership programme held on Sunday at Chaudhary’s camp office in Roorkee. Several sanitation workers joined the Congress under his leadership, and party leaders welcomed them.

Congress raises public-cost concern

Chaudhary alleged that the Municipal Corporation was attempting to collect 100 rupees from the public as a user charge. He said Congress would oppose the proposal and launch a movement if necessary.

The statement described sanitation workers as an important part of society. Chaudhary said Congress would stand with them and support efforts to resolve their problems.

The available information does not establish that the user charge has been implemented. It identifies the measure as proposed and records the Congress warning of opposition and possible street action.

Former mayor Gaurav Goyal, Rizwan Ahmed, Dr Harvinder Singh, Neeraj Saini, Beena Anand, Sanjay Guddu, Jasveer Singh, Yasmeen Khan, Maya Rawat and Vishal Sehgal were among those present at the programme.

Conclusion

The Roorkee Congress has opposed the proposed 100-rupee user charge and said it could organise a street movement if the Municipal Corporation proceeds with the plan. The next confirmed development will depend on the proposal and any further decision by the civic body.
