Local Administrative Powers of City Corporations

Abstract

This chapter concludes that CC does not have exclusive control over most of its functions including recruitment of staff, decision-making, planning and implementation of development activities, and taxation. In most cases, there are avenues where the central government could exert control on the functioning of the CC which is not at all helpful for effective functioning of the CC. Lack of autonomy over different activities has made the CCs incapable of performing in accordance with the hopes and aspirations of the citizens. As a result, the citizens are being deprived of availing good urban services from the CCs.
