Nagpur: Concerned over slow pace of property-tax recovery from citizens by the department of tax and assessment under NMC, the standing committee chairman, Ramesh Shingare said,”Those who show dereliction to duty would be taken to task, and the zonal assistant commissioners will be held responsible for the delay.”
Shingare was presiding over the review-meetings on tax recovery from Zone 9 Asinagar and Zone 10 Mangalwari held on July 31. He personally visited each zone to take stock of latest progress of the tax collection drive.

He was not happy with the situation of tax recovery from Mangalwari zone too. He directed the tax department personnel to visit door to door to ensure tax collection. He cautioned both zonal assistant commissioners that they would be held responsible if the tax collection target was not achieved.
