On Monday, the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) general body meeting was adjourned until May 5 following protests by corporators wearing black bands.

Residents expressed concern over unresolved local issues like water scarcity amid the adjournment. A BJP leader’s slogan against the government caused confusion, later clarified to target the INDIA alliance.
