Keeping the election year in mind, the country’s richest civic body, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), is likely to focus on its massive infrastructure projects despite its declining income. Ongoing projects like road concreting, bridge construction, the desalination project, sewerage treatment plants, Goregaon-Mulund Link Road, and the Versova to Bhayandar coastal road will receive significant funding.
