In the ongoing feud between the Mayor and the Commissioner of Ballari City Corporation Preeti Gehlot, the Mayor, the Deputy Mayor, Standing Committee members and councillors staged a protest against the officer on Thursday after they waited for an hour for a meeting and when, later, Ms. Gehlot started the meeting in the absence of the Mayor and the Council members.
Ms. Gehlot had called a meeting at 11 a.m. to discuss various issues, including plastic ban in the city.
Mayor Rajeshwari, Deputy Mayor M. Balan, Standing Committee members and councillors walked out of the meeting hall as Ms. Gehlot did not turn up for the meeting even after noon.
