The civic body claimed on Tuesday that it had removed 104 per cent more sludge from Mumbai’s big drains than its target by May 31. The BMC said it took out 3.24 lakh metric tons of silt from the nullahs against its earlier goal of 3.11 lakh metric tons. The BJP, however, shared pictures of clogged drains to trash the claim.
