Lucknow: To express gratitude towards the residents and boost awareness about cleanliness, Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) is gearing up to conduct a 'Tiranga yatra' (tricolor parade) in every ward across the city. The initiative, announced by Mayor Sushma Kharkwal, aims not only to thank the people for their efforts, but also to galvanise the city towards achieving an even higher ranking in next year's Swachh Survekshan cleanliness survey. The announcement was made on Sunday during a felicitation ceremony held at the LMC headquarters, where corporators were honoured for their collective role in helping Lucknow secure an impressive third place in the Swachh Survekshan 2024-25 national cleanliness survey. The upcoming parade will increase community participation and inspire all city wards to keep up their hard work for a cleaner, greener Lucknow. The event held at Trilok Nath Hall witnessed the mayor presenting ceremonial shawls to all 110 corporators as a token of appreciation for their efforts. The ceremony was attended by several LMC officials, including deputy chairman Girish Gupta, deputy leader of the corporators' group Sushil Tiwari 'Pammi', Samajwadi Party corporators' group leader Kamran Baig, municipal commissioner Gaurav Kumar, additional commissioner Namrata Singh, Arvind Kumar Rao, chief engineer (civil) Mahesh Verma, chief engineer (RR) Manoj Prabhat, along with many other staff members. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Addressing the gathering, the mayor thanked both the corporators and city residents, emphasising that the achievement was a result of everyone's collective hard work and involvement.

6 LMC executivepanel membersto retire on June 1
Lucknow: Six members of the 12-member executive committee of the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC), including executive vice-president Girish Gupta , will retire on June 1 after the completion of their two-year tenure. The committee, formed on June 22, 2023, is governed by the Municipal Corporation Act , which mandates a two-year term. To ensure staggered continuity, a draw of lots retires half the members after the first year. The retiring members include BJP 's Girish Gupta, Anoop Kamal Saxena, Umesh Chandra Sanwal, Mukesh Singh Monty, Ranjeet Singh, and SP's Surendra Balmiki. With their exit, the committee will be incomplete and unable to hold official meetings or make policy decisions until new members are elected by the Municipal Corporation House. Despite the reshuffle, the BJP is expected to retain control of the executive. With 80 of the 110 councillors, the party currently holds 10 of the 12 executive seats. A similar distribution is anticipated after reconstitution, making it likely that the new Executive Vice President will also be from the BJP. The six members continuing in the committee are BJP's Anurag Mishra Annu, Bhrigunath Shukla, Charanjeet Gandhi, Gauri Savaria, Krishna Narayan Singh, and SP's Saba Ahsan Mansuri.
