Nirwani is the new Mayor of Belgaum

All was not well as he took charge as prior to his election six nominations were rejected and Nirwani was elected unopposed which paved for fierce protests from the opposition. The opposition Marathi speaking councilors were seen throwing foot gear at the newly elected Mayor and also destructed some furniture in the hall.

After all this the election of Dy. Mayor and elections of the standing committees was postponed for a month.
