Overview
- In a letter to BMC Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani, the Shiv Sena-UBT leader said a once-efficient waste system has faltered over the past two years.
- He reported rubbish piling up at junctions, major roads, near places of worship and outside residential buildings across Mumbai.
- He asked whether collection mechanisms changed, contractors were diverted, or civic manpower was reassigned, and pressed for corrective action.
- He alleged selective enforcement of a long-standing court ban on political hoardings, saying pro-minister banners linger while opposition or local mandal displays are targeted.
- He said he received no reply after urging Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to stop illegal hoardings and linked governance priorities to worsening air quality.
