As a result, citizens have been denied the right to enjoy many basic civic amenities.The civic commissioner enjoys the power of sanctioning projects below Rs 25 lakh and above the amount. All proposals have to pass through the general body for further tendering and execution of work. Observers said, the city has not witnessed any such big-ticket projects due to the ego clash between officials and corporators. We will take up the proposals for discussion in the next general body meeting scheduled on February 22. Citizens can't be taken for granted for rivalry between the civic chief and elected representatives.
