BMC Additional Commissioner Ashwini Bhide reviewed the progress on the initiative during the day, as per the PTI.

"Funds for these works have been classified as incidental expenditure to each ward office. Therefore, immediate action should be taken by calling for spot tenders," a BMC release said quoting Bhide.
