GUWAHATI: The Congress on Thursday requested the state election commission to conduct elections of Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC), which is being run without elected representatives for the last three years, without further delay.
“The GMC is a constitutionally affiliated body for local self government. Different bodies of the state government namely GDD, housing and urban development department and even the State Election Commissioner is not giving required attention for holding the election and thus the citizens are getting deprived from the service of GMC in a proper way,” said Congress leader and former GMC Mayor Kushal Kumar Sharma at a press conference here.
