MC deputy mayor to be elected on May 26

The LR said the DC was authorised to convene the first meeting of the House, while later meetings could be convened by the Mayor himself.

Sources say the post of deputy mayor would be taken up by the Shiromani Akali Dal, the alliance partner of the ruling BJP in the Corporation.

The post had fallen vacant after former deputy mayor Mohinder Singh of the SAD had withdrawn. The Akalis were earlier demanding the post of mayor or senior deputy mayor and Akali councillor Harjinder Kaur had also contested the post of mayor, which she lost to BJP8217;s Gian Chand Gupta.
