Cong councillors oppose approval of F&CC resolutions in MC house meeting

Ludhiana: Having raised their concerns against the recently approved resolutions of the Finance and Contracts Committee (F&CC) in the MC general house meeting, Congress councillors have submitted a complaint with the principal secretary, local bodies department, demanding that resolutions passed in the F&CC meetings not be approved. According to the councillors, during the house meeting held at Guru Nanak Dev Bhawan on May 9, resolutions from 1 to 1,054 were approved without the consent of house members from opposition parties . They claimed that since 1991, when the MC house was formed for the first time, resolutions approved in the F&CC meeting were shared with all councillors, in addition to the house meeting agenda. This time, they said that resolutions approved in F&CC meetings held on March 26, April 9 and May 6 were not shared. Councillors claimed that the mayor did not want to inform opposition parties about the projects or works approved in these meetings as such approval was given to works related to ruling party MLAs and councillors. The councillors complained that the house meeting ended with the passing of the agenda in just 20 minutes, without it being read. They demanded rejection of resolutions 1 to 1,054 on the grounds that they had been passed arbitrarily and illegally. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Move That Changed Their Lives – See How It Works Expertinspector Learn More Undo They added that they had already filed a complaint against the five resolutions approved in the general house meeting on March 20.
