After instructions from Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has started the process of fixing responsibility onto individual officials in case of flooding in the city. A list of officials will be circulated for citizens’ benefit before the monsoon.
Every year, the BMC publishes a list of its ward engineers’ phone numbers for citizens to register complaints about potholes. This year, the BMC will also make a list of officials responsible for every flood spot. The engineers’ association of the BMC has, however, pointed out the huge number of vacancies and load on them.
