any religious or social organisation or political party and its leaders to
bring about all-round development in the city and ensure the welfare of its
people. Addressing a press conference at his residence here on Tuesday, Sandhu

the development of the city, especially those who have won the election and
therefore have huge responsibility on their shoulders.

election and therefore have huge responsibility on their shoulders.
He said that he understands
his responsibility well and the results of the work he is silently and honestly
doing for the welfare of the city would soon be visible. Sandhu said that there is a need to turn the 1.5 lakh daily inflow of
visitors to the city into tourists by creating and developing sufficient places
and infrastructure to prolong their stay here. He said that tourism could boost
the city’s economy in a big way.
The former Indian
ambassador to the US added that people at the grassroots level are unable to
benefit from many schemes sponsored by the Centre, and there is need to ensure
that everyone gets the advantage of these schemes. Cleanliness, drug addiction
and law and order are big problems in the city, he added. He advised the youth not to go abroad illegally. He said that the
education which is being given in foreign countries should be available in our
country too. If there are opportunities here, why our children should go
elsewhere, he asked.
