Bhubaneswar, June 3: Various projects are expected to be on fast track, as corporation councillors today elected chairpersons and members of nine standing committees.

After the civic polls and the general election, the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation’s functioning almost came to a halt with absence of council and standing committees due to enforcement of the model code of conduct.

The committees include taxation, finance and accounts, public health, public works, planning and development, recreation and culture, licence and appeals, establishment, grievance and social justice and contracts.

Grievance committee chairperson Chhabi Das told The Telegraph: “The grievance redress system will be given priority as it reflects the efficiency of our administration and the service delivery mechanism.”

Mayor Ananta Narayan Jena asked the chairpersons and the councillors to display team spirit and continue winning the best corporation award from the state government.
