Ghaziabad Mayor asked to pay for her security

Ghaziabad, Mar 3 (PTI) The Ghaziabad Mayor has been issued a notice by the District Nagar Nigam asking her to pay Rs 1.72 lakh incurred by the Uttar Pradesh Government on providing her security. Ghaziabad Nagar Nigam Additional Municipal Commissioner Nirupma Mishra on Thursday issued the notice to Mayor Damayanti Goel asking her to deposit 10 per cent of the security expenses. Following the order, Goel today claimed that being the Mayor of the city, she enjoys the status of state ministers who do not have to pay for their security cover. She said the Nagar Nigam can withdraw her security, but she will not pay the amount as it is "absolutely illegal and wrong." PTI COR ASY
