I S Chahal
Though the Election Commissioner directed the Chief Secretary (CS) of the state to remove the civic chief I S Chahal and two additional commissioners of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, along with other similarly positioned officers, the order from the CS hadn’t reached the BMC officers as of late evening on Monday. Chahal wasn’t present in his office but replied that he had no idea of the order. The order from the CS may come before 6 pm on Tuesday, marking the first time a BMC chief will be transferred after an EC order.
The second floor of the BMC headquarters, usually bustling with activity due to the civic chief’s office, was deserted on Tuesday, with only security guards and peons present, indicating the chief’s absence. Meanwhile, the adjacent office of the joint municipal commissioner was flooded with visitors as usual, despite the code of conduct in place. Although news of the EC’s order for the removal of three senior officers spread rapidly, there was only quiet chatter among the employees.
