The board meeting of city’s Municipal Corporation was boycotted by municipal commissioner Dinesh Chandra as there was a uproar during it.
The dispute started when Municipal Corporation’s executive vice president and BJP councilor Sunil Yadav, commented on the work style and behaviour of officials of Pawan Pandey, manager of CLC (urban livelihood development company). Chandra became so uncomfortable and angered by this indecisive behaviour of councilors, that he left the board meeting.
Later mayor Asha Sharma adjourned the meeting indefinitely, repeating all the proceedings. She then had a conversation with councilors of all parties and condemned the behaviour of the city commissioner. She even wrote a letter to the chief minister, contempting the house. In the letter, the chief minister has been demanded to be disciplined against the city commissioner and other officials.
On the other hand, Chandra told that the councilors in the house were using unparliamentary language against the former city commissioners which led them to leave the house silently. He added that he has not committed any contempt of the house but instead sent the additional municipal commissioner Pramod Kumar to continue the proceedings of the house. But, the councilors continued to create a ruckus even then.
In this sequence, the manager of CLC Pawan Pandey said that he has never behaved indecisively with any Municipal Corporation officials or councilors. He alleged that some councilors are angry as he had not facilitated their misleading work.
