Capt Amarinder Singh’s New Moti Bagh Palace wall collapses . On this, Sumit, a local resident said, “how can a boundary wall of former chief minister collapsed in few minutes’ rain. It’s a security lapse on the administration, state part.
Gurpreet another local resident said, “Capt Amarinder Singh had visited New Moti Bagh palace, only on few occasions, when he was the chief minister. This was his official residence. Had he visited regularly, the concerned departments must have checked the conditions of the wall, as a part of their routine security check. With his absence from Patiala, it seems the concerned department had kept their casual approach and never checked the condition of the boundary wall, which resulted into a collapse of the wall.”
