Request to restore community budgets and maintenances

On April 9th the Working Committee of the Residents’ Assembly (RA-WCom) sent an email to the Budget Coordination Committee (BCC) demanding that the BCC restore access to the budgets and Financial Service accounts of the working groups and services that have been selected or appointed by the Residents’ Assembly (RA), and to ensure that the maintenances of the RA members and Services are restored through the Auroville City Services Budget. Reference was made to the recent court orders confirming the role of the RA and its Working Committee in carrying out functions as stipulated in the Auroville Foundation Act 1988. The working groups and services are the RA-WCom, the RA-WCom Resource Persons, the RA Service (RAS), the Entry Board (aka Admissions Committee), the Auroville Council and the Town Planning and Development Council.
