Pre-monsoon de-silting: Mira Bhayander civic body's time-based pricing offers ample scope for corruption However, instead of initiating cost cutting measures the civic administration continues to provide a window of opportunity to private contractors for nibbling away the taxpayers money The Covid-19 induced lockdown has badly hit the civic coffers causing a major dent in the annual revenue generation of the Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC). However, instead of initiating cost cutting measures the civic administration continues to provide a window of opportunity to private contractors for nibbling away the taxpayers money. As an annual ritual, MBMCâs sanitation department floated tenders and awarded contracts estimated to be worth around Rs. 3 crore to a private company for manual and mechanical excavation with JCBâs, Boat-Poclain and Hydraulic Earth Moving Machines for de-silting work across the six zonal divisions demarcated in the twin-city.
