Detailed Solution

The political head of the Municipality is the mayor.
The 74th Constitutional amendment in 1992 vested autonomy and power to all the urban bodies (municipalities and municipal corporations). The mayor has the complete power to exercise control over all the urban bodies. The mayor is elected by the residents of the city. The functions and powers of the mayor include administration of the local urban body, fixing the tenure of different civic bodies, and presiding over meetings with other elected representatives of civic bodies. Another distinct power is that they are called the town’s 'first citizen.' IAS cadres employed by the state government keep a check on the executive and financial responsibilities of the municipal corporation.
