Mumbai: After spending lakhs of rupees on the construction of toilet in the Ward no 209 of E Ward under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, the facility lies closed for the past one year. Further, it has come to light that the Mumbai Municipal Corporation has fooled the PMO by providing them with false information.
RTI activist Anil Galgali in his written complaint has demanded that the toilet be immediately put to use and has demanded strong action against the Officer Chandan Dongre for misleading and sending false information to the PMO.
RTI activist Anil Galgali had sent a complaint to the PMO about a toilet which was constructed under the Swacch Bharat Abhiyan in the Ward no 209 of the E Ward and was shut for the past one year. At the time when the enquiry was initiated, instead of opening up the toilet for use to the public, Asst Engineer Chandan Dongre sent a false information to the PMO and misled them.
The complaint was forwarded to senior bureaucrat Bipin Mallik and through him it moved to Medha Gadgil, Manisha Mhaiskar, and Ajoy Mehta, the Municipal Commissioner, and ended at the table of the Asst Engineer in the Solid Waste Management department Chandan Dongre for action. Chandan Dongre, in his reply to the PMO, informed that the construction has been completed, and the process of appointment of the CBO is in progress.
Once the CBO is appointed, the toilet will be opened up for use by the public. This information was sent despite the fact that the same toilet was inaugurated by the Asst Municipal Commissioner Sahebrao Gaikwad on 12 January 2018 thereby proving that Dongre by providing false information tried to mislead the PMO.
Anil Galgali in his letters addressed to PM Narendra Modi, CM Devendra Fadnavis, Municipal Commissioner Ajoy Mehta, DMC Ashok Khaire and Harshad Kale has demanded that the toilet be immediately opened for use of the public and strict action against AE Chandan Dongre for providing false information.
