CCMC yet to start budget work; opposition alleges staff shortage

COIMBATORE: The fiscal year is drawing to a close, but the Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation (CCMC) is yet to start preparations to table its budget proposals for 2025-26. While opposition councillors say the civic body wakes up only at the eleventh hour, residents said most of the projects that were announced in the last two years are yet to be implemented.

While a few corporations in the state have presented their budget proposals, the CCMC has not started the work yet, sources said, adding the civic body was waiting for the state government to table its budget proposals in the legislative assembly.
