The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) council meeting which usually presents a sign of ruckus and chaos, saw a rare display of bonhomie and camaraderie among the members on Friday as they made a joint appeal for development funds of ₹1 crore for each of the 65 wards.
Members cutting across party lines goaded, pleaded and urged Mayor Shivakumar to announce the grant to facilitate them to take up development works in their respective wards. A section of them said that the financial situation of the MCC was ’healthy’ and sparing ₹1 crore for each ward would not be an issue. The Congress, the BJP and the JD(S) members also said that development grants for councilors to take up urgent works had already been announced in the budget for 2023-24 and hence there should not be any issue arising out of it.
