Am a doctor working in kunigal , tumkur dt, karnataka. The corporator here abuses and threatens me of murdering me for taking consultation fee
This is offensive. You may complain the same to the Police.
Has a corporator right to stop any asset related legel work ?
No. He dont have such rights.
I inquired few corporators Whether they Know the Duties of Corporators. They said No, No booklet Circulated, No information about the duties. Hence Commissioner of the concern municipality must emphasis on awareness of Duties to Corp orators.
Yep Absolutely, many Corporator’s don’t aware of their Rules & Responsibilities even MLA, & MP, and very few rulers know about their R & R but unfortunately they will not approach on right way which will effect on urban & rural development e.g. Education, Employment, Infra, New Schemes by (Central & State Govt.), daily lives etc. If they stand on truth & they hard work among the peoples then our country will become a beauty of earth Jai Hind..
