Bhatia wave unnerves Mayor

Gaikwad has lamented that the elected representatives were in total dark when the action was taken against chief of tax assessment department Hanmant Chavan. He has hoped that Bhatia would respond to his letter in the future.

Meanwhile, Bhatia has sent letters to all the corporators explaining them his proposal on change in allocation of budgetary provisions to the tune of Rs 38 crore. He has requested the corporators to consider his proposal in view of the importance of the work.

Bhatia has also said he had instructed all the ward officers to initiate all the works in the budget, suggested by the corporators. The letter says the municipal commissioner would be available for the corporators on every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday between 4 pm and 5 pm. Meanwhile, several corporators today expressed their strong resentment against Bhatia8217;s proposal of making major changes in the budget with the fear that the development works in their wards would be seriously affected. The corporators also discussed Bhatia8217;s recommendation to the general body to suspend the members of school board.
