Mumbai BMC Opposition Walks Out Over Undebated Proposals Including Hospital Transfer
Opposition members in Mumbai's BMC walked out during a session where around 15 proposals, including the transfer of SevenHills Hospital and leasing of Century Mills land under public-private partnerships, were approved without debate. The opposition accused the ruling alliance of bypassing legal procedures and ignoring their objections, staging parallel proceedings and warning of legal action. Officials defended the approvals, citing procedural adherence. The dispute highlights tensions over transparency and governance in the BMC's decision-making process.
