An afternoon after the death of six individuals in the foot over bridge cave in near CSMT station, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had promised stern motion. It was once anticipated that the CM would ask civic commissioner Ajoy Mehta to start up criminal proceedings against bureaucrats, engineers and contractors for dereliction of accountability. But thus far, best two junior engineers had been suspended and the contractor blacklisted. Ironically, the contractor were blacklisted two years in the past.
A rewind to main tragedies in the city previously two years - the Kamala Mills fireplace, the Elphinstone Bridge cave in and the Gokhale Road Bridge collapse-reveals this has been the stock response of the CM. He orders a high-level inquiry and guarantees stern motion against errant officials.
But BMC officials are hardly deterred. In the Kamala Mills fireplace, departmental probe discovered successive assistant municipal commissioners and their subordinates had remained mute spectators to blatant violation of regulations. But, thus far, best minor motion has been taken against them.
The CM is conscious about the situation in the Shiv Sena-controlled BMC, however he appears helpless because of the engineer-contractor nexus and the enhance of leading politicians from the ruling party.
A former chief secretary says the CM might draft a Rs1 lakh crore infrastructure development plan, however loss of assessments and balances in any respect ranges and the politician-contractor nexus is a roadblock to Mumbai becoming a world-class city.
Khadse hits a low
BJP leader Eknath Khadse appears to be hurt over the manner in which he has been sidelined by the BJP management. In negotiations with the Shiv Sena at the seat-sharing formula, Khadse was once no longer even invited for talks, whilst his arch rival and water sources minister Girish Mahajan went as an alternative.
In speeches during the last fortnight, Khadse has even admitted as a lot. At a prize distribution match in his home town, Jalgaon, Khadse instructed scholars there's not anything improper in dreaming big, however in his case, it proved to be a crisis.
After his unceremonious go out from the cupboard, Khadse was once expecting to make a comeback since he was once given a blank chit in all instances. However, success is eluding the BJP leader.
