Municipal Commissioner Gaurav Kumar, Additional Municipal Commissioner Namrata Singh, Property In-charge Sanjay Yadav, along with all departmental clerks (lekhpals), नायब tehsildars, and other officials were present.
The Mayor issued strict directives, emphasizing that the Municipal Corporation was suffering losses in several cases due to the department’s negligence, which she stated would not be tolerated. She instructed all lekhpals to immediately submit an updated list of all pending court cases. Additionally, a date-wise list of all cases related to other acts was also requested.
