In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Obligation of municipalities
I wish our action would conform to our words. Now our cities, villages and even Tehran have some shortcomings. Municipalities are duty-bound to improve and flourish this country. You should take action with the help of people because things are so ruined that a mayor alone could not amend them. The important point is to consider the oppressed people. In Tehran, the suburbs, ghettos and tent-dwellers must be given more attention than the northern part. In other cities and villages the oppressed must be given more heed than the affluent. Meanwhile, in the former regime, they gave little heed to poor people; they just did in favor of the wealthy ones. And so considering Tehran, the northern part is completely different from the southern part. As a matter of fact, the two directions are completely different. These flagrant differences among social classes and heterogeneities, God forbid, cause a blast that would go out of control.
You, honorable mayors, notice today's cities and villages of Iran belong to you; they are not for others anymore. Since the country belongs to the nation, they themselves along with the mayors bend on to build the country. To make habitat a main part is up to the mayors. You should make extreme efforts. In particular, those parts, which are in havoc, the villages that were under no heed and those two-sided cities in which one part belongs to the poor and the other for the rich start building from the side of the oppressed. When you reach the wealthy side, you have done a fundamental work.
I hope God grants success to you and you will be victorious in a path of serving the country and Islam. I wish all to be successful.
May God's peace, mercy and Blessing be upon you!
