Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar reviewed the functioning of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation and asked officials to bring about financial discipline in operations to ensure more funds for public works.

He told the civic chief Abhijit Banger and his team to work without being worried about political pressure from any quarter as the state government would offer all help.

Pawar, who has decided to visit the city once in two weeks to review works underway, also said discussions were on to bring down the penalty on property tax from 24 per cent now to 12 per cent.
