Municipal decision
Municipal Corporation Chief Tax Assessment Officer Sanjeev Sinha said that this step has been taken on the instructions of Municipal Commissioner Vikramaditya Singh Malik.

Opposition and picketing of councilors
Recently, councilors demonstrated against the Municipal Corporation. In fact, the corporation had earlier promised 20 percent discount, but 10 percent discount bills were being released. The councilors expressed strong displeasure over this and demanded a ban on the bills. In addition, the councilors were angry even when the meeting proceedings were not available despite cancellation of the proposal to collect property tax on the basis of DM Circle Rate at the Municipal Corporation board meeting.
