Mumbai: The prime 'A ward' of the BMC, which covers the areas of Fort, Colaba, Churchgate and Cuffe Parade, has finally got a full-time assistant municipal commissioner (AMC). The ward will be now headed by Gajanan Bellale. AMC Bellale has been transferred from N ward (Ghatkopar), and will also hold additional charge of AMC for assesment and collection department.
During the FPJ Dialogue with the mayor of Mumbai Ritu Tawde on March 20, the FPJ had raised the issue that 'A ward' is where the BMC headquarters, Vidhan Bhavan, Mantralaya, Nariman Point and several important buildings are situated, lakhs of people from the suburbs come here daily, but why for the past several years this important ward does not even have a full-fledged AMC. Answer to the question, mayor had acknowledged that it is an important thing she will definitely take it up with the administration immediately.
For the last around four years, the prime 'A ward' was been headed by executive engineer Jaideep More, who had additional charge as AMC. On several occasions, the local citizen activists from resident association like Cuffe Parade had voiced concern that the ward lacks a full-time ward officer, and considering the variety of issues the ward has, it is need of the hour to have a full-fledged AMC. Notably, More has now been transferred back to his original department, City Engineering.
