This includes regular audits and public disclosures to ensure that taxpayer funds are utilised efficiently and effectively for the benefit of the community.

Overall, the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Civic Body's decision to uphold the property tax hike underscores its commitment to addressing the city's financial challenges and delivering essential services to its residents. While the move may be met with initial resistance, it is viewed as a necessary step towards ensuring the long-term sustainability and development of the city.
