The monthly session of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) will be held on June 19 at 2:00 PM, Chairperson Mala Roy announced during a press conference at her office in the municipal headquarters on Thursday. The announcement comes after a dispute over the scheduling of the session and subsequent court proceedings related to the matter.
