The Maharashtra government has informed the Bombay High Court that it has proposed to increase the total number of municipal councillors in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) considering the proportionate increase in the population of the city over the years.
The Bombay high court on Thursday refused to stay the recent ordinance approved by the state cabinet to increase the ward strength of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) ahead of the Municipal elections scheduled for early next year.
Noting that there was no significant rise in the number of Covid-19 cases in the city, the Bombay High Court has said it was not inclined to extend stay on demolition of illegal structures and eviction of tenants of such structures beyond October 11, except in the five districts in the state which have witnesses a spike in cases.
If the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is to be believed then the commuters on the Mumbai-Nashik highway may get a smoother pothole-free ride after October 25.
