AP Khan said that this will solve the problem of salary and pension of the employees of the three municipal corporations. We were constantly demanding the central government take steps in this regard. For three years, we had sent several memoranda to the Union Home Minister and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in this regard.

Ram Niwas Solanki, general secretary of the Municipal Corporation Teachers Association, said that we are grateful to the central government that they understood our problem. Now the corporation will have more power, so the employees will not have to worry. We demanded that the three corporations should be united. Which the central government did. The extra expenses that were being incurred by this will also be saved. Along with this, the problem of delay in getting salary and pension will end. We have seen the situation of salary coming late by six months. Alam had become that no bank was ready to give loans to the corporation employees.
