On the last day of the civic corporation's term, Monday, around 240 proposals worth Rs 3,000 crore were approved by the standing committee within half an hour, despite allegations of corruption and protest by BJP corporators. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) corporators protested in the committee hall and outside the municipal commissioner’s office.
Around 130 proposals worth Rs 1,500 crore were not taken into consideration. The proposals which were approved mainly include those for construction and widening of nullahs across the city, construction/extension of hospitals, and laying of water pipelines. At least 270 new proposals and around 100 old proposals were tabled. All the departments of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) hurried to get their proposals approved in the last two meetings.
