Coimbatore: A crucial preparatory meeting for the upcoming indirect election of the Coimbatore Corporation Mayor was conducted on August 2 at the Corporation's main office auditorium.

The Corporation is expected to release further details about the election process and candidate nominations in the coming days. This election marks a significant event in the city's local governance, as the new Mayor will play a crucial role in shaping Coimbatore's development and addressing civic issues for the next term.
