Opposition corporators have cited the flooding during Cyclone Tauktae to discredit the BMC’s claim of near-completion of nullah cleaning across the city. Calling the work unscientific, they have cast doubts over the actual work by the civic administration.

The corporation has said that 91 per cent of the clearing of drains has happened so far. The civic body spends around R150 crore on the work every year.
