The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has directed all the departments to complete desilting of major and minor drains across the city well before the onset of monsoon, ensuring smooth drainage and minimal inconvenience to citizens during heavy rains.

In a review meeting held this morning at the BMC headquarters in the Standing Committee hall, Mayor Ritu Tawde issued several directives to ensure effective execution, transparency, and the timely completion of the pre-monsoon drain cleaning drive. She stressed the need for proper utilisation of manpower and resources, strong coordination between ward offices, and central agencies, and regular updates to local representatives and corporators at every stage of the work.
