The demand for an independent municipal corporation saw a heated and emotional discussion in the first general body meeting of the Hubballi Dharwad Municipal Council after the election of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor.
Raising the issue, Kavita Danappa Kabber and Deepa Neeralakatti said that the people of Dharwad are demanding an independent corporation as they have reason to believe that Dharwad has been left behind in terms of development.
