Manesar : Union Minister for Power, Housing and Urban Affairs Manohar Lal Khattar today called for urban local bodies (ULBs) to conduct their proceedings in a structured format, similar to sessions of the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabhas. He said such practices would promote transparency, accountability and better urban governance.
“Similar to the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabhas, urban local bodies should also conduct formal House sessions, chaired by a person elected in the manner of the Speaker. This would help establish a more transparent and accountable system of governance,” Khattar said.

Haryana Vidhan Sabha Deputy Speaker Dr Krishan Lal Midha, also present at the event, stressed the need to go beyond the idea of ‘smart cities’.
