TEHRAN – At least 22 subdistricts of Tehran Municipality will be headed by 22 women managers who are to be appointed during the coming three months, announced Seyed Mohammad Afshani, the mayor of Tehran here on Sunday.

Women enjoy better capability in civil management, Mehr News Agency quoted Afshani speaking at the meeting of mayors of 122 subdistricts of Tehran on Sunday.
