After two days of uncertainty, the BMC welcomes its new commissioner, Bhushan Gagrani, following the Election Commission of India’s directive. Alongside, Additional Commissioners Abhijit Bangar and Amit Saini also assumed their roles on Wednesday, marking the first instance of three top officials joining in a single day. The state issued an order removing two Additional Commissioners, Ashwini Bhide and P Velrasu, on Tuesday evening. However, the appointment of the new civic chief was confirmed by the EC on Wednesday afternoon, leading to a swift transition.
The news of the order went viral around 3 pm. The waiting area for the commissioner’s office was vacant at that time. “The commissioner left at 3 pm. His belongings like trophies, certificates, and photo frames were packed on Tuesday evening itself. So, there wasn’t anything left behind,” said an employee of the BMC. Chahal returned with newly appointed Bhushan Gagrani at 5.15 pm.
