MBMC meet held amid security
However, neither the accused members turned up, nor the resolution found its place in the agenda of the meeting.
Mumbai: A day after Shiv Sainik’s vandalised municipal property over the issue of delay in constructing an art gallery in memory of Balasaheb Thackeray, the BJP-led Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) scheduled the standing committee meeting on Thursday amid heavy security cover by local police personnel who were apparently anticipating the arrival of absconding Sena corporators. These corporators have been charged for deterring public servant from discharge of his duty and damaging public property among other sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). However, neither the accused members turned up, nor the resolution (seeking approval for construction of the art gallery) found its place in the agenda of the meeting. According to sources, the accused Sena activists, including 18 municipal corporators, were trying to procure anticipatory bails from the lower courts.
