On the other hand, shabby affairs being run in the civic body could also get exposed if the visiting Mayors dig out the truth. The eco-friendly Green Buses have vanished from city roads due to mounting losses, mounting pending dues of bus operators, NMC contractors agitating since the past fortnight, arrears of employees, no recruitment on vacant posts, no full time Municipal Commissioner, Chief Accounts and Finance Officer, poor condition of roads in many localities due to ongoing construction of cement roads, Metro Rail project etc could leave the top NMC babus and office-bearers speechless.
The 25-odd Mayors of different cities in the State are attending the 18th State Mayors’ Conference to be inaugurated by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at 12 noon on Saturday, October 27. The event is being organised at Vasantrao Naik Agriculture Research Centre (Vanamati).
