Question

I execute the rules and policies made by the General Council of the Municipal Corporation. I prepare the budget, keep records of Council Meetings, and supervise the functioning of the entire body.

Who am I?

• A. The Mayor
• B. The Municipal Commissioner
• C. The Chairperson
• D. The Councillor

Answer 1

The correct option is B The Municipal Commissioner

All the rules and policies made by the Council and approved by the Mayor are executed by the Municipal Commissioner. This is why they are also known as the 'Executive Officer'. The Commissioner is not directly elected, unlike other members of the Corporation. They are chosen from the Indian Administrative Service, and appointed by the respective State Government.
