“Clean the city or face action – Dr. Ravjot Singh sends a clear message during his suprise Patiala visit”
In a strong push towards urban cleanliness, Punjab cabinet minister Ravjot Singh conducted a suprise inspection Patiala city today, warning local authorities to immediately prioritize sanitation or face strict disciplinary action. The visit comes amid a growing state-wide emphasis on improving public hygiene under the Aam Aadmi Party’s governance.
Dr. Ravjot Singh, who also serves as the MLA from Sham Chaurasi and is a practicing doctor running a private hospital in Hoshiarpur, delivered a no-nonsense message to municipal officials during his tour.
“Cleanliness is not just an aesthetic concern, it’s a public health priority. Any negligence will not be tolerated”, He spoke firmly
Accompanied by local administrators, the minister toured several areas of the city, highlighting lapses in waste management, clogged drains, and uncollected garbage in residential localities. He instructed officers to implement immediate corrective measures and to maintain strict monitoring of sanitation services.
The visit aligns with the border cleanliness mission takes across Punjab. Recently, an 88-year-old retired IPS officer in Chandigarh went viral for leading a grassroots cleanliness drive, reflecting increasing civic participation and awareness. Dr. Singh acknowledged such efforts and called on citizens to actively support the state’s cleanliness campaign.
“Uber sanitation is a shared responsibility between the government and the people, while we are holding our officials accountable, Public cooperation is equally essential” he added
The Aam Aadmi Party has made clean and livable cities a cornerstone of its governance model in Punjab. Today’s inspection by Dr. Ravjot Singh signals that the administration is serious about translating promises into visible ground-level action.
Officials have been directed to submit a progress report within a week. Failure to comply could lead to disciplinary measures, including suspension or departmental inquiries.
As Punjab moves forward in its cleanliness mission, Patiala now stands at the frontline—under both public scrutiny and ministerial vigilance.
