The ruling Trinamul Congress (TMC) on Saturday released its manifesto for the upcoming Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) elections, stressing on providing better civic and health services to the residents.

The TMC leadership cautioned party workers against being "over-confident" and urged all the candidates to take everybody along in the polls, scheduled on December 19.

The TMC, which has been in power in KMC for the last two tenures since 2010, stressed on providing a better drainage system and fast redressal of civic issues.

"There is no scope for being overconfident. I would request all the candidates to take everybody along in the polls. I urge Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to allow us to take out a victory rally after winning the KMC board for the third consecutive term," TMC Lok Sabha party leader Sudip Bandopadhyay said at the manifesto release programme.

TMC state chief Subrata Bakshi, while speaking at the function, said that special stress will be given to improving the drainage system of the city.

"Special stress will be given on improving the drainage system. In every ward, we would set up a grievance address cell. For better management of the menace of dengue, 30 dengue control centres would come up in the city," he said.

Elections to the 144-ward-strong KMC will be held on December 19 and the results will be declared on December 21.
