The Ministry of Home Affairs made the announcement after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal held a meeting at the BMC headquarters in Mumbai to review the preparations being made by the corporation and other agencies.
"It was 100 per cent the state govt responsibility, as they organised the event, keeping elections in mind. A sitting judge must investigate this incident and the actual facts must come out," Pawar said while addressing the organizational meeting for BMC polls.
With the spike in Covid-19 cases across the country and in Maharashtra, State Health Minister Tanaji Sawant informed that the state would be conducting a mock drill on April 13-14.
BJP leader Kirit Somaiya on Friday slammed BMC Commissioner Iqbal Chahal over the 'illegal studios' scam and said that the latter did not take any action in the matter.
According to the BMC official statement, the corporation will work in collaboration with partners from the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS).
"The administration of the municipality is completely opaque and corrupt. This report is only about the work of Rs 12,000 crores but the whole work will reveal more shocking things," he alleged.
In this regard, Maharashtra Minsiter Deepak Kesarkar said that necessary proceedings had been initiated under the laws defined in Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) act.
