Amid growing demand from citizens for development works in their wards, former corporators are rendered helpless as the delay in holding the BMC election has meant there is no corporator’s fund yet. 

Shital Mhatre, Shiv Sena leader and former corporator from Dahisar, said, “People demand various works in their locality such as walkway, drain repair, benches. But this year there is no ward-level provision for such works yet. We just forward letters to the ward office and take follow-ups.”
