Plans are also underway to build an amusement park at

Tahirpur, besides construction of public toilets for women in market places at a cost of Rs one crore. In order to ease parking woes, the East Corporation has proposed increasing the places for ground parking from the current 50 to 100. "Besides this, we will build a multi-level parking lot in Krishna Nagar. Similar possibilities in other areas are also being explored, including at Babarpur, Apsara Border and Shahdra Mandi," Tyagi said in the speech. The corporation, just like its north counterpart, has also demanded the union government to raise the salary of councillors to at least Rs 30,000 per month. "The allowance for meetings should also go up from Rs 300 to Rs 1000, with an upper limit of Rs 10,000," he added. Earlier, before the House began its proceedings for the day, Congress councillors stages a dharna outside the EDMC office, protesting against alleged misbehaviour of Standing Committee Chairman Mehak Singh during a meeting earlier this month. "Not only did the Standing Committee chairman misbehave with one of our councillors, when I objected, he also passed comments on me," said Councillor Savita Sharma. "We will be forced to continue our protests if such attitude is not curbed," she added. The same issue also came up during a regular on Friday last where Singh had requested the opposition members to check the recording of the meeting in question. "I have not made any such remarks. You can check the recordings," he said.
