Mayor Karamjit Singh Rintu was appointed as the vice-chairman of the All-India Council of Mayors (AICM) on Thursday. In a communiqué issued from the office of the chairman of AICM, Naveen Jain, he was declared as vice chairman, recognising his work and commitment towards the post in the past a few years.

The AICM is a national level body, with head office in New Delhi, working for coordination and streamlining of the local government in an effective manner. Mayor Rintu was greeted by city councillors in his office today with a bouquet of flowers after his appointment as the vice-chairman.

Happy over his elevation, Rintu said this was an honour not for him but for city residents. He said he would work harder and focus on providing basic amenities to citizens.

Rintu, who was received by the city councillors at his office following his elevation, said people’s expectations regarding the livable conditions have increased manifold and the municipalities will have to work day and night to meet the goals. “The MC’s role in the development and provision of basic amenities has increased and we have to prepare for future,” he said.
