Overview
- The BMC says 488 suggestions and objections were filed on the draft demarcation of 227 wards, with hearings set for September 10–12 at Yashwantrao Chavan Pratishthan, Nariman Point.
- The feedback window ran from August 22 to September 4, during which earlier tallies varied across reports at 150 and 410 before the civic body cited 488.
- Hearings will run from 11 am to 5:30 pm each day and will be conducted by a state-appointed authorised officer.
- The ward count remains the same as 2017 at 227, and officials expect to publish the final list in the first week of October.
- Once boundaries are finalised, ward reservations will be drawn in line with the Supreme Court’s pre-2022 OBC quota directive, after which election scheduling will follow for the BMC currently under administrative rule since 2022.
