Newly elected councillors take oath across TN
Councillors of the Chennai Corporation, who were elected during the recently-concluded urban local body polls in Tamil Nadu, Wednesday took oath at the Rippon Building in Chennai after a gap of 10 years in the presence of Greater Chennai Corporation Commissioner Gagandeep Singh Bedi.
The urban local body polls across the state were conducted in a single phase on February 19 and the results were declared on February 22.
Of the 200 councillors in Chennai, 102 were women. One among them would be elected as the Mayor of the city as the state government has reserved the seat for women from the scheduled caste (SC) community.
Like Chennai, the newly-formed Tambaram Corporation in Chengalpattu district will also get its first woman Mayor from the SC community.
Similarly councillors elected across Tamilnadu took oath on Wednesday.
