BMC chief Ajoy Mehta has clipped the wings of several departments

A leaner, meaner BMC is setting the terms this year. For the second consecutive year, the country's richest municipal corporation has proposed a budget without any new tax or hike in existing taxes. BMC Commissioner Ajoy Mehta yesterday presented a budget of Rs 25,141.51 crore for 2017-18, a massive cut from last year's Rs 37,052 crore outlay.
