Ugly scene at VMC meeting over impasse on water meter issue

VIJAYAWADA: A general body meeting of the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) on Monday witnessed ugly scenes, with corporators of the Telugu Desam Party and the Left parties manhandling Mayor Mallika Begum, following which she broke down.

Corporators of the ruling Congress and the three opposition parties jostled with one another and, in the melee that resulted, Ms. Begum was shoved and mildly roughed up. The Mayor said that she was "thoroughly disturbed" with the " behaviour" of the opposition corporators. The Mayor squatted at the Mahatma Gandhi statue in front of the VMC office and staged a dharna.
