Mayors of various Municipal Corporations in Haryana today urged Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar to provide them more facilities including higher pay and perks.
Ambala Mayor and president of Haryana Mayors Council, Ramesh Mal today wrote a letter to Khattar saying that the mayors are not given due regards by the district officers despite the fact they are the "first citizen of the city in protocol".
He stated the mayors have neither been provided any official powers nor a proper honorarium.
"They had to depend on Commissioner of the Corporation even for the routine works, Mal said.
He demanded that at least one security guard should be provided to mayors similar to what is given to MLAs and other senior officers of the districts.
Mal said the mayors would move court if they are not offered security guards and enhancement in their honorarium.
