Advocate Priti Chavan, a national-level swimmer, has alleged that she has not received any money from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) despite the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission directing the civic body to pay the athlete Rs 22,000, as she had been denied concessional fees for using the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Olympic Swimming Pool in Dadar, last year.

“After the district court ruled in my favour, the BMC appealed the decision at the state consumer court. Though this was done after the 30-day appeal period, the state court upheld the decision of the district court and ordered the civic body to pay me the due amount,” she said.
