was the corporator of ward number 5 during 2003-08 and took up many
developmental activities in the ward then. This time I hope the people
of the ward will elect me,” said Santosh after filing his candidature.
Alleging that no development work has been undertaken in his ward
during last five years, Aftab said people will certainly prefer him for
the betterment of the ward.

number of aspirant candidates too made a beeline in front of the ADM
office on Tuesday to collect the forms.
The last date for filing of nominations is December 20.
