Principal Inderjit Kaur set to become first woman mayor in Ludhiana

State President Aman Arora will speak to the media at 11 AM at the A-Zone Municipal Corporation office.

Ludhiana is set to get its 7th mayor on January 20. This is the first time the city will have a female mayor, as the mayor’s seat has been reserved for women councillors. In a post, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann proposed the name of Councillor Principal Inderjit Kaur as the mayor. In a post he said, “Aam Aadmi Party has nominated Inderjit Kaur for the post of Mayor of Ludhiana Corporation, Rakesh Parashar for Senior Deputy Mayor and Prince Johar for Deputy Mayor. Best wishes in advance to these three candidates and councilors.”

State President Aman Arora will speak to the media at 11 AM at the A-Zone Municipal Corporation office. To ensure the smooth operation of the event, senior officials have been appointed by the corporation. Executive Engineer Balvinder Singh is overseeing the cleaning of potholes and patchwork near the event site, while Executive Engineer Purushottam Singh has been assigned the task of managing water supply, preventing sewer line leaks, and covering the road drains.

The task of clearing green waste has been assigned to the Horticulture Department’s Executive Engineer JP Singh, who will also plant trees around the venue. Health Officer Vipul Malhotra will be in charge of cleanliness, and storekeeper Davinder Bhardwaj will make arrangements for refreshments for the attendees.

Shyam Sundar Malhotra will be the leader of the opposition in the Municipal Corporation House. The Congress party has appointed Deepika Bhalla as Senior Deputy Leader and Harminder Pal Lali as Deputy Leader.

Initially, the Congress claimed it would capture the mayor’s position by winning 30 seats in the election. However, Congress’s seats have now been reduced to 26.
