Over the past 10 days, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has invited 125 tenders worth Rs 11.25 crore for ward-level work such as repairing toilets and sprucing up playgrounds. BJP and Shinde Sena-dominated wards seem to have received the most attention, accounting for 75 and 19 tenders respectively. 

According to civic data, the average cost of each tender is R9 lakh. Sources claimed that the works feature in the BMC budget. The highest number of tenders issued—14—were issued for ward no. 73 in Jogeshwari. This ward used to be represented by Pravin Shinde, a member of the Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde.
