Do you think that the urban local bodies in your city are effective performing their role? Give example from your personal experience to support your answer.
Answer
The basic functions of the urban local bodies are public health and welfare, regulatory functions, public safety and public infrastructure etc. These services are effectively performed by the urban local bodies in our city but there is always some scope for improvement. Their was a recent failure in the public health department as there was spread of Dengue in my city. Such loopholes are often seen under different departments like public safety and infrastructure. Most of the times the road conditions are not good and there are many potholes which lead to accidents specially during the rainy season.
