BJP demands action against C-ward official

Meanwhile, Leader of the House Trushna Vishwasrao also demanded an inquiry against BMC’s accounts department.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) group leader in BMC Manoj Kotak demanded action against C-ward Assistant Commissioner Sangeeta Hasnale at the standing committee meeting on Monday. Hasnale had issued a memo on May 12, requesting that the redevelopment of old, dilapidated structures in the ward, which includes Kalbadevi, not be stalled.

Kotak said, “Such proposals on redevelopment are sanctioned by the municipal commissioner and come to the standing committee as information. She has no rights to direct or go beyond the commissioner’s decision. She must face action for this.” Additional Municipal Commissioner Sanjay Deshmukh said, “The memo has not been written to the standing committee and will not direct the committee’s activities.”
