In the past six months since the administration rule started, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) claims to have saved 30 tonnes of paper. As there are no corporators, meetings of various committees are not held. Therefore there is no need to use papers for meetings’ agenda, etc. Now environmentalists suggest that the BMC have agendas online in future. 

On average, the BMC has to use nearly 2 lakh papers per week for agendas which cost nearly Rs 1.25 per page with printing. In the past six months, this number has decreased by less than 10 per cent," said a BMC official.
