<h1>Municipal leader urges PPP to monetize 1,000+ properties, fix finances, clarify procurement and benefit-sharing rules</h1> The municipal chief urged use of a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework to monetise over 1,000 municipal properties and amenity spaces, citing an unsustainable revenue model where maintenance outlays exceed rental receipts. He identified legal and governance constraints, including fear of corruption allegations, as barriers to contracting private developers for hospitals, schools, sports complexes, parking and other works, and advocated clearer procurement and benefit-sharing arrangements. The corporation also announced a policy commitment to robust roadworks and allocated funds for pothole repairs, signalling administrative will to pursue contractual reforms and outsourced delivery.
