The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has reportedly stated that even though the Lok Sabha election 2024 procedure was completed a fortnight ago, the Election Commission has not yet released approximately 4,400 civic employees from poll duty, negatively impacting their pre-monsoon preparations.

According to the PTI reports, the EC had assigned 11,847 BMC officers and staffers for election duty as block-level and zonal-level officers in February, but 4,393 of them are yet to be relieved from the duty.
