Good to see the highest collection, now we need to check how this fund will be utilized, please construct public toilets every 500 mtrs to in city range and hand over them to unemployed poverty line people. This itself will keep more then half of the city clean.
Corporations are known and awarded for collecting tax.
Similarly they should even be punished for delay of projects, quality of work and corruption.
They should be made accountable for time and tax payers money.
Great job…keep up BCC…!
Good to see they collected highest property tax but big question is about development works and utilization of fund and corruption. We people really concern about smart city development. we have huge fund for development but once again question is how they can utilize it. Central Govt. should take all responsible for development of smart city work
