The NMMC Commissioner,Mr.Bhaskar Wankhede has ratified a proposal to hold the ward officers responsible for illegal constructions in their respective wards.This change was notified via a gazette around 8 days ago.
It was noticed that despite complaints,the illegal constructions continued as the ward officers failed to followup on the notices served.Henceforth,all complaints about illegal constructions would be the responsibility of the ward officer.
Mr.Wankhede also submitted that the responsibility to clear the illegal constructions was that of CIDCO and that NMMC only plays a supporting role.
