Damanjit Singh Mann appointed new Ludhiana municipal corporation commissioner

PCS officer Damanjit Singh Mann has assumed charge as the commissioner of the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation. He has become the fifth officer to be posted as the municipal corporation chief this year.

He has taken over the position from Ankur Mahindra, whose tenure lasted for less than a month.

Upon arriving at Zone D office in Sarabha Nagar, senior civic officials welcomed the new commissioner and a Punjab Police contingent presented him with a guard of honour.

After assuming office, the 2012-batch PCS officer Damanjit Singh Mann held a review meeting with corporation officials. He stated that waste management, cleanliness and streamlining civic services in the city are his top priorities.

He said that he has previously been posted in Ludhiana district, which is why he is well aware of the major problems of the city. He spoke about improving the condition of roads, fixing the sewerage system and proper arrangement of street lights.

The new commissioner stated that special attention will be given to accelerating development works in the city, bringing transparency in functioning and recovery of pending dues. He also appealed to city residents, resident welfare associations and social organizations to extend their cooperation.
