Maharashtra: BJP corporators protest demanding sanctioning of fund by Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation

When asked about the issue, Dr Vijay Suryawanshi, Commissioner of KDMC said, "Due to Covid-19 epidemic our priority is to control Covid-19 but since Covid-19 are now under control i have asked my all departments officials to sanction works under corporators' fund as per funds available with us".
The protest which went for at least four hours was called off after civic administration assurance to take works of corporators under corporator funds.
