Mumbai's BMC has established ward-level 'war rooms' across 26 offices to streamline campaign permission processes for the upcoming 2026 elections. This single-window system aims to expedite approvals for political parties and candidates for activities like setting up offices, rallies, and public addresses. Representatives from the Fire Brigade, Police, BMC, and Traffic Police will coordinate at the ward level, with a central control room and media committee at BMC headquarters overseeing operations and promotional content.
