ITANAGAR: The Mayor of Itanagar Municipal Corporation (IMC), Tame Phassang has said that "corruption in any form in the IMC will not be tolerated" in his first interaction with the newly elected Corporators at DK State Conventional Hall here on Wednesday.
Speaking during the meeting, Phassang in his keynote address said that a good team can achieve any goal, so all the corporators should work as a Team-Itanagar and as Team -IMC supporting each other for the next five years for a clean- Green Itanagar and creating sense of security for a peaceful environment.
"No personal projects will be entertained in IMC, in fact craft projects and schemes which will be beneficial for the people of your wards and for Itanagar will be most welcomed," he said. He advocated the corporators not to work as a businessman rather be true leaders of the public and to focus on the overall development of the ward and the State capital as a whole.
"I urge the senior officials of the IMC, District Administration, and Police to share ideas and experience to overcome all the hurdles for a better Itanagar," he said, while cautioning Corporators and Officials of IMC to refrain from any ideas which will benefit an individual.
He said that an environment of equality, peace, and harmony should be the agenda. If everyone maintains this mantra, definitely Itanagar would be one of the best capitals in the country, Phassang added.
