<h1>Municipal budget process emphasizes people-centric spending, financial discipline, environmental protection, and revenue from municipal assets.</h1> The Standing Committee reviewed Revised and forthcoming Budget Estimates, prioritising core civic services, financial discipline, environmental protection and revenue mobilisation. Councillors proposed strengthening sanitation, infrastructure, health and education, and optimising municipal assets; the Chairperson committed to incorporating members' inputs. The budget was framed as a policy document focused on public welfare and effective use of limited resources while ensuring no additional financial burden on citizens through a participatory, inclusive process.
