It is pertinent to note that the former group leaders of political parties wrote a letter to the civic chief last week, demanding public participation in the absence of the corporation since March 2022.

Former Opposition leader in the BMC Ravi Raja, NCP group leader Rakhi Jadhav and SP group leader Rais Sheikh had written the letter to civic chief I S Chahal and demanded that suggestions from former corporators, public representatives, advanced locality management (ALM)members and non-government organisations be considered while preparing the civic budget for 2023-24.

The civic budget for the year 2023-24 is going to be presented only at the administrative level as there is an administrator’s rule in BMC. The budget of the BMC is about INR 40,000 crore, which is bigger than the budget of a few states.

Citizens residing in areas under BMC’s jurisdiction are requested to send their suggestions via email at- bmcbudget.suggestion@mcgm.gov.in, by January 28, 2023.

In view of public participation, citizens of Mumbai are being appealed that if they wish to make suggestion regarding budget, they may send their suggestions on following email ID.
