The party has pointed out that bungalows of certain officers, including the Deputy Commissioner, Senior Superintendent of Police, District and Session Judge and chief engineers, were built on plots of land measuring up to two acres. It was suggested that the sale of these houses was likely to fetch the Municipal Corporation an estimated Rs 125 crore, which could be utilised for development projects in the city.

Similarly, a big chunk of land, measuring about 6000 yards, was used for the residence of the medical superintendent of the Government Mata Kaushalaya Hospital. This land was in prime commercial area and at least 200 shops could be built on it, which could be allotted to unemployed youth.

The AISAD has also suggested that a water treatment plant could come up on a plot of land measuring five acres in the Barakhuian area.

The party has reminded Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal that he had announced at three functions on May 1, 1998, that house rent at the rate of 15 per cent would be given to the employees posted in Patiala city. But no action had been taken to implement the plan.

The party also accused the Badal government of being indifferent to the welfare of the public. Citing an example, it said that the employees staying in government houses in the Rajpura Colony of the city never had to pay sewerage tax all these years. But suddenly, a large number of residents of this colony had been served with notices to pay tax.

The local legislator had repeatedly demanded withdrawal of these charges and also met the Public Health Minister in this connection, but to no avail, the party alleged.

Citing another instance of the indifference of the administration, the AISAD said that a sum of Rs 15 lakh has been lying unspent with the local Municipal Corporation for the widening of the bridge over Chhoti Nadi, near Ghalori Gate crematorium. Gurcharan Singh Tohra had also given a sum of Rs 5 lakh out of his discretionary fund for this purpose, but nothing had been done so far, it was alleged.
