The Chhattisgarh Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Act, 2003

Infrastructure200310 sections

This Act amends the Chhattisgarh Municipal Corporation Act, 1956 to update administrative titles and establish stricter accountability measures for municipal officials. It replaces "Divisional Commissioner" with "Director Urban Planning and Development" across several sections, and adds a formal oath-taking requirement for mayors and councillors. The legislation also grants the State Election Commission authority to remove or reduce disqualifications against elected officials, treats violations of oath requirements as vacating seats, and extends the maximum term for certain official positions to not exceed five years. These changes aim to enhance governance within municipal corporations by clarifying roles and strengthening oversight mechanisms.
