With no word from the State Government over the reservation for posts of new Mayor and Deputy Mayor more than a week after the terms of Sunanda Palanetra and Anwar Baig respectively ended, an air of uncertainty hangs over the presentation of the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) budget.
Outgoing Mayor Sunanda Palanetra pointed out that the budget will have to be presented before the end of March to facilitate payment of salaries and other expenditure of the civic body.
The budget is conventionally presented by the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Taxation, Finance and Appeals, but terms of all the Standing Panels of the MCC too have expired in conjunction with the tenure of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor. The members of the Standing Committees are elected along with the Mayor and Deputy Mayor.
