The entire top administrative cadre of the BMC — including deputy municipal commissioners (DMC) and assistant commissioners (AC) — has raised concerns over the continued tenure of a top civic official post-retirement, belonging to the office of the municipal commissioner, Bhushan Gagrani.

Despite retirement, the official now serving as an Officer on Special Deputation (OSD) continues to hold his post in the civic chief’s office. Civic officials have demanded the immediate filling of the “vacant” post in Gagrani’s office. Chandrashekhar Chore, the deputy municipal commissioner to the municipal commissioner, currently holds the office. Chore retired in December 2024 and has been granted an extension.
