Mayor alleged of
unlawful action
By a Post Reporter
BIRGUNJ, March 2 - The majority of board members of
Birgunj Sub-Metropolitan City including the deputy mayor Wednesday submitted a written
request to the mayor demanding that the board meeting be convened immediately to remove
inconvenience of the city dwellers.
Fourteen members of the 24-member body have made
the demand alleging that Mayor Bimal Srivastav had been acting illegally. They have
alleged that he has deliberately obstructed the construction and development works of
different wards by withholding the budget of different wards approved by the sixth City
Council.
They have also alleged that the mayor had acted
illegally by dismissing the committees and sub-committees as he did not have the right to
do so.
They said if the meeting is not convened
without delay, the mayor will be responsible for the inconvenience caused to the people of
the city.
The dispute between the mayor and the deputy mayor
has been raging over the last three months after the mayor has lost majority support and
it has adversely affected the activities of Birgunj Sub-Metropolitan City Office. Out of
the total 114 city council members, the mayor is supported by 40 members and the deputy
mayor by 74 members.
