On August 8, former Shiv Sena corporators, led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, met the civic officials. On Tuesday around 60 former BJP corporators met with Gagrani. The discussions focused on concerns such as potholes, medical facilities, and cemeteries.
Lodha highlighted the issues raised during the meeting, stating, “We addressed the problem of potholes, and the civic chief assured us that repairs will be completed within eight days. We also discussed improvements to HBT clinics, civic medical services, and the condition of cemeteries.” He highlighted the need for increased medical facilities and additional HBT clinics across the city.
A former corporator present at the meeting noted, “This meeting was essential as there have been no corporators in Mumbai for the past 2.5 years. We used this opportunity to address delays in public toilet repairs, park beautification, and the construction of new hospitals.”
