On Monday, he called a meeting of the officials at the municipal corporation at 7 am. The officials, struggling with sleep, arrived by rubbing their eyes and yawning. By noon, the administrator, who had taken on the role of a headmaster, gave the officials a lesson on various topics, including the budget.
