PMC: Five-year term ends but functioning of panels of elected representatives to continue under administrator

The municipal secretary department is responsible for organising meetings, preparing proposals and agenda for the meeting along with finalising the minutes of meeting of general body, standing committee and all other special committees including legal committee, city improvement committee, women and child welfare committee, sports committee, education committee and name committee.

Daundkar said the heads of all civic departments have been instructed to follow the new system for functioning. “As per the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act, the general body meeting has to be conducted before 20th of every month while that of the standing committee has to be conducted every week. The meetings of other committees have to be conducted every fortnight,” he said.

The municipal secretary said there is a system to submit the proposals for committees to the municipal secretary department, which will list them in the agenda of the meeting. “The action on the proposals would be taken as per the decision of the administrator,” Daundkar said.
