Now, a chief auditor to check BMC expenses
- by Webdesk
- 21 Jun 2016
The Maharashtra state government led by the BJP has named a chief auditor to monitor the expenses of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), which its ally the Shiv Sena rules. The move has irked the Sena, which sees it as interference by the state in a civic body’s affairs.
Besides, a petition is pending since 2012 before the Bombay high court against the state appointing a chief auditor for the BMC. A senior state finance department official told HT that municipal commissioner Ajoy Mehta had asked the government to make the appointment. In an order issued on June 15, the state government appointed Suresh Bansode, joint director (administration) at the Navi Mumbai Local Fund Audit Directorate, chief auditor of the BMC.
There has been little audit of the BMC’s expenditure though its budget is larger than that of many small states. With several allegations of scams in the BMC, citizens’ groups have been demanding that there should be a proper audit of the taxpayers money spent by the civic body whose last annual budget totaled Rs37,000 crore.
