Citizens of Kharar in Mohali have called for the removal of a derelict vehicle and a thorough cleaning of the area, citing rising theft incidents.
Local residents of Kharar, a suburb of Mohali, have lodged a formal complaint with municipal authorities demanding the removal of an abandoned vehicle that has been left unattended for weeks. The community says the vehicle not only mars the neighbourhood’s appearance but also obstructs regular cleaning and waste‑collection activities.
In addition to the cleanliness issue, residents expressed growing anxiety over a series of recent thefts reported in the vicinity. They argue that the unattended vehicle provides a convenient hiding place for thieves and hampers police patrols.
The petition, signed by several households, urges the civic administration to act swiftly, remove the vehicle, and intensify security measures in the area. Officials have been asked to schedule an immediate clean‑up drive and to increase patrolling to deter further criminal activity.
No official response has been recorded at the time of reporting, but the residents have indicated they will pursue further action if the matter is not addressed promptly.
