(f) It does not merely handle day to day routine matters but takes care of more complex problems pertaining to mergers and reorganisations and play two distinct roles such as safeguarding interests of the corporation and secondly watching the interests of the oweners and other sections of the community. In this respect it is a rope-walking exercise an interested gimmick.

(iii)  Analysis and appraisal of problems
