MBMC gets new commissioner; Sanjay Katkar replaces Dilip Dhole

A new commissioner has taken charge of the Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation (MBMC) as IAS officer Sanjay Katkar replaces Dilip Dhole. This change in leadership comes after dissatisfaction from many individuals who felt that a non-IAS officer was not suitable for the role. Various builders, social activists, and politicians had called for an IAS officer to be appointed as the commissioner.

Interestingly, the former commissioner, Dilip Dhole, was summoned by the Enforcement Directorate in relation to the Urban Land Ceiling (ULC) scam case that occurred between 2014 and 2016. This development has sparked discussions among politicians and residents of Mira-Bhayander, with some suggesting that there may be a connection between these incidents and questionable activities taking place behind the scenes.
