During a review meeting on reforms in municipalities and corporations in accordance with the Central guidelines on Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) held here on Thursday, the Chief Minister said that the revenue of each municipality and corporation has to be spent locally on various projects and initiatives, as this makes the municipalities self-sustainable.

The Chief Minister also directed the authorities to prepare a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) focusing on the reforms to be brought in for providing better services to the public alongside developing municipalities and corporations, including the revenue expenditure of each municipality.
