The newly elected Mayor of Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC), Dimple Mehta, formally assumed office today. After taking charge, she immediately held her first meeting with the administration, clarified her stance on the city's development, and took a firm position.
The swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation is taking place today at 9:30 AM after a delay of 9 days. However, it is now openly discussed that this delay was more for a 'lucky number' than administrative reasons.
BJP MLA Narendra Mehta will be present at this event, and the number 'Seven Eleven' (711) is considered lucky for him. From his vehicle number to the company's name, 711 is used, and it is being said in political circles that the date 11 was deliberately chosen as the auspicious time. This raises a direct question of whether the priority in a democracy should be the people's issues or superstition.
Expressing serious concern over the increasing illegal constructions in the city, the mayor announced a 'Zero Tolerance' policy against illegal constructions. She gave clear instructions to the MBMC commissioner to immediately stop any new unauthorized constructions in the city. Also, strict legal action should be taken on old illegal constructions without succumbing to any pressure. She also warned that if any officer is found colluding, strict disciplinary action will be taken against them.
