He said the municipality budget has been approved for about 5 thousand billion tomans this year, adding, “Last year, the municipal budget was 3,600 billion tomans, of which more than 90% of the budget was realized, while in planning, the realization of plans is predicted usually less than 50%.”

The mayor of Qom, stating that the first phase of the Qom metro line is also ready for testing, noted, “We were supposed to borrow a wagon from Tehran, which, despite the order of the mayor of Tehran, faced obstacles that we are following the issue.”
