Demands for splitting bigger wards revived, as Mumbai civic body plans P East ward
The BMC, too, is planning to redraw the boundaries of its 24 administrative wards to maintain both geographical and population balance
MUMBAI: As the decision to split P-North ward (Malad east and west) to form P-East ward finalises, old demands to split other bigger wards in the city like K (Andheri) and L (Kurla, Sakinaka) ward have revived. The BMC, too, is planning to redraw the boundaries of its 24 administrative wards to maintain both geographical and population balance.
The BMC is for now planning to form a new ward by splitting the P-North, which covers Malad east and west and a little part of Kandivali. The new ward will be called P East and will cover most of Malad east. The proposal will now be discussed in the group leaders meeting soon. Once approved, it will be the 25th ward in the city.
