Tehran's district mayors are burning the midnight oil after the municipality ordered city hall to remain open overnight to better serve residents, press reports said Thursday.
Following an order from mayor Morteza Alviri, mayors of the capital's 20 districts are taking turns on the overnight shift from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am, reported the Hamshahri daily, which is owned by the municipality.
The move comes "to serve citizens night and day and to address the need to keep an eye on the city's condition," the paper said.
It said the new "night-mayor" shift began on Sunday -- TEHRAN (AFP)
