Urban Local Bodies Should Work Like Parliament: Birla
Financial Express Delhi
|July 04, 2025
LOK SABHA SPEAKER Om Birla on Thursday said urban local bodies (ULBs) should function on the lines of Parliament with regular Question Hour and Zero Hour to raise issues concerning citizens.
He was addressing the first National Level Conference of Urban Local Bodies in States and Union Territories.
"I am pained to hear about meetings of ULBs getting adjourned amid pandemonium and key agenda such as budget getting approved without any discussion," Birla said.
