Govt curtailing Mayor’s powers: Rizvi
Raipur, February 27, 2010
The PCC spokesperson Iqbal Ahmed Rizvi has alleged that the government is deliberately curtailing Mayor Kiranmayi Nayak’s powers by allowing municipal Commissioner Om Prakash Choudhary to take decisions on approval of hoardings and ATMs in the city. “The BJP-led government is violating RMC rules by shifting Nayak’s powers to Commissioner. This is also an attempt to disregard mayor’s reputation,” he said.
Rizvi further alleged that the government wanted to create clash-like situation between the mayor and Commissioner owing to which it had taken such decision. “The BJP also wants to protect those corrupt contractors who are close to former Mayor Sunil Soni. The BJP knows that Nayak would not brook corruption in the RMC due to which the government curtailed her powers,” he said.
Terming the government’s move illegal and interfering in RMC’s development works, Rizvi demanded from it to revoke its orders with an immediate effect.
“Why did government took such decision only when Congress mayor is in power? This indicates that Nayak’s victory in recently held civic polls is still rankling BJP,” he said.

Raipur is still known as dirty city: Mayor
Raipur, February 27, 2010
Mayor Kiranmayi Nayak has appealed from the people to help the municipal in making the city clean and green. “I am afraid that Raipur is still known as dirty city owing to overflowing drains, unorganised sanitary system and garbage and filth scattered everywhere,” she said.
She said people should cooperate with the RMC in keeping the city clean. “People should first stop throwing polythene and other items in drains. This will ensure proper flow of drain water. Similarly, the garbage should be thrown in litter bins that would later be collected by the municipal’s garbage collection vehicle,” she said.
She felt that the women and young generation need to contribute more in making sanitary arrangements organised in the city.
Nayak also expressed her concerns over frequent traffic jams in the busy roads of the city. She appealed from all the motorists to follow the traffic norms.
She further appealed from the shopkeepers to avoid occupying the roads or footpath illegally for their business purpose.
