BMC Completes Major Administrative Reshuffle Across Mumbai Wards

The restructuring, led by BMC chief Bhushan Gagrani, aims to improve governance but faces scrutiny over alleged political interference.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has finalized a large-scale reshuffle, reassigning seven joint municipal commissioners and 12 assistant commissioners across 25 wards.
BMC chief Bhushan Gagrani directed the restructuring to enhance administrative efficiency and ensure better governance.
Nitin Shukla, a well-regarded assistant commissioner, was transferred from Matunga’s F North Ward, with reports suggesting political influence played a role.
An online campaign by Matunga residents highlights concerns over alleged political meddling, particularly regarding enforcement actions on illegal flower stalls.
Promotions and new appointments include Sharad Ughade, Ajit Ambi, and Pandurang Gosavi, with four assistant commissioners appointed through the Maharashtra Public Service Commission.
