Councillors had been demanding a General House meeting for long. Some of them also staged a protest against Mayor Karamjit Singh Rintu a few weeks ago. The Mayor had assured them to call a meeting in the end of August after listening to their issues constituency wise. It is expected that the meeting could be a stormy affair as councillors are not satisfied with the funds, which are being released for development works. TNS
