Solan Municipal Corporation: Nominated Councillor Controversy Intensifies

Solan Municipal Corporation: Almost six months after the election, the stir has intensified over the appointment of nominated councillors in Solan Municipal Corporation. Five nominated councillors are to be appointed in the corporation. Lobbying has started within the Congress regarding this. In the initial phase, the names of five Congress leaders have come out, who have been asked to take NOC from the corporation on behalf of the government. These include Mahendra Kumar from Ward No. 3, Sanjay Sharma from Ward-4, Puneet Narang, ex-nominee councillor from Ward-5, Abhay Sharma, ex-councillor from Ward-11, and Madhu Thakur from Ward-12. Everyone has to take NOC from the municipal corporation that there is no outstanding liability of the corporation against them. Only after this, the process of notification regarding the appointment will go ahead. However, these names cannot be considered final. After the five names have come out, other Congress candidates have also become active.
