Bharti Sharma scolded the Chairman
In the meeting, Ward 12 councilor Bharti Sharma strongly attacked Chairman Khushubu Singh, accusing him of not doing any work and said that your work is just to sit in homes. You never listened to our problems. He said that only your pockets should be filled, even if people keep dying. The councilors said that you have even switched off the CCTV cameras in the office.

…Deputy Chairman also felt pain
In the meeting, when the councilors accused Commissioner Ashok Sharma, Chairman Khushboo Singh and Deputy Chairman Maya Sharma of not getting the development work done, the pain of the Deputy Chairman also came out in front of everyone. Deputy Chairman Maya Sharma stopped the councilors and said that despite being the Deputy Chairman, no work is being done in my ward. My ward is also not untouched by the problem of cleanliness and chamber. I too have no hearing in the council. No one is insisting on improving the cleanliness system.
District Collector reprimanded regarding lights
The councilors said that the city council has not yet strengthened the lighting system in the city. Due to which there is darkness in many wards. Even after complaining many times, new lights are not being provided nor are the old lights being repaired. On which the Municipal Commissioner said that new lights were not being supplied. When the Collector heard about new lights not being provided for more than a year even after the tender in 2023, he scolded the officials and said that defaulters were not given work. And asked to get the lights repaired soon.
