Gurugram, Jul 3 (INB) Urban local bodies should incorporate question hour and zero hour to build a robust and accountable system like Parliament, Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla said on Thursday.
While speaking at a two-day national conference on National Conference of Chairpersons of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) of States and Union Territories at IMT Manesar, Birla said that frequent disruptions—once a recurring feature—have now significantly reduced in Parliament of India, resulting in enhanced productivity and meaningful debate.
“Let’s make an effort that urban local bodies’ meetings should be held regularly with enough time and there should question hour and zero hour as well in them,” Birla said.
that disruptions do not reflect the strength of democracy but rather weaken it. He asserted that it is through dialogue, patience, and depth of discussion that democracy truly thrives, and he urged municipal representatives to lead by example in their respective cities and towns.
Shri Birla described Urban Local Bodies as the closest tier of governance to the people, deeply aware of the challenges and needs of citizens. He noted that India’s urban transformation, symbolized by cities like Gurugram, reflects both economic vitality and democratic participation. #ombirla #loksabha #gurugram #urbanlocalbodies
