BRAHMAPUR: Corporators of the Brahmapur Municipal Corporation (BMC) were not happy about the maiden presences of Brahmapur MP Siddhanta Mahapatra in the BMC council meet here on Friday since he has taken over the charge of the constituency. Most of the Corporators questioned that why the MP was not coming to the BMC council meet which makes plans for the development of the city every year.
While Mahapatra said he was not informed
in time before any council meeting of the BMC, whereas some meetings also
carried out when the Parliament was in session. However, appreciating the
Corporators of the BMC after three years of his term for feeling his need of
presence in the council meeting, he discussed with the Corporators.
Corporators raised several issues
including water supply unit in the city, improper distribution of the BPL
cards, power cuts, irregularities in the mid-day meals, poor sanitation,
closing of second gate of the MKCG Medical
College Hospital
and improper functioning of the Berhampur Development Authority.
Alleging the use of poor quality
pipes for water supply to the streets, Corporator of Ward number-3, Ashok Sukla
said the water lickage from taps is a common thing seen at many areas wasting
huge water. Other Corporators also alleged upon the monopoly of Southco and
demanded proper distribution of the BPL cards.
Appraising all issues the MP
assured to talk with the Chief Executive Officer of the Southco and to reduce
the power cuts if possible. However regarding the lack of funds coming to
Berhampur, he said that the funds are not only sanctioned for the city, but it
is distributed among seven constituencies and till now Rs 1 crore 38 lakh has
been given to the BMC, he added.
