    Our civic bodies do not have a single urban planner. In cities like London, chief urban planner is the second most important official after the mayor. That is the importance given to planning," .If a city has to really become world class , the first thing is to get experts from various disciplines, including urban planners, architects, transportation planners, financial managers and environmental engineers.

    I would like to draw your attention to urgent need to reform the current municipal system. Under the current system corruption is rampant, and the welfare schemes are abused by corrupt politicians and officials. There is poor planning and even poorer implementation of rules and regulations. I request your good offices to take urgent attention of rampant corruption, official apathy at municipal level to improve the working condition of Indian citizens. Jai Hind

    Hey Manabeswar …
    Desh ko achche din ka matlab sajhwana jaruri qu ki garibo ko liye samajhna bhi jaruri hai….
    Achche din ka matlab humara sarkar infustructure taiyar karega or mere kishan,shramik vai behono ohipe kaam karega o log bhi bacheng ge or desh ko bhi bachayange.Lekin kuch neta or kaam choro ka achcha din achcha nehi lagega.Qu ke in logo ko baithe baithe khane nahi dunga .Tab bhi achcha din achcha lagega.
    App ke sapnose jura hua ek sathi…………….
