According to rules, the questions are first to be tabled in the House and then the NMC Administration comes with replies. However, if the Administration could not reply within the time or the members are unsatisfied by the replies then they could raise questions again. The Ruling Party had instructed its Corporators not to stretch their works for longer period due to late starting of the Meeting and permited a limited members to raise their issues.
Interestingly, even after the General Body Meeting of August 19, still 89 questions or issues remained pending. And the pending and pending and pending would continue till the Corporators, office-bearers, officials and employee continue to be “Late Latif.”
