New additional BMC commissioner instructs officers to get in touch with their wards and local issues; no directions for reports yet

Additional BMC commissioner Ashish Sharma gave the instruction two weeks ago
Ashish Sharma, the new additional BMC commissioner, has instructed ward officers in south Mumbai to take a round of their wards everyday to get an idea about local issues. There are nine wards in south Mumbai.
Sharma said, “Sometimes being present on the spot gives us a sense of facts and it also changes the viewpoint. So I asked officials to take a round in their wards, see the situation of footpaths, encroachment, roads, scraps, etc. It will raise awareness among the officials and bring about positive change.”
