After clearing proposals worth Rs 3,000 crore on the last day of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) term on Monday, the civic headquarters was in slow mode on Tuesday. The municipal commissioner has been appointed as administrator and has the authority of the standing committee and BMC.

After appointment as the administrator of the BMC that has an annual budget of Rs 46,000 crore, it seemed the municipal commissioner wasn’t in a hurry to start work. He left office after attending a monsoon review meeting with officials. There wasn’t any communication on the pending proposals worth Rs 1,500 crore. “Many proposals were not taken up for discussion in the committee on the last day including work of widening nullahs, trenching work of roads, etc. These works are necessary and proposals have to be approved. But the mechanism for it hasn't been decided yet,” said a senior official from the BMC.
