Opponents of the Metro project may not have been able to stopu00a0 the proposal from being passed in the general body meeting of the PMC yesterday, but those who wanted to stall the proceedings were at least creative in their attempts to do so. They aimed for nothing less than the Mayor's mace, and succeeded in snatching it.
Shiv Sena corporator Pruthviraj Sutar was the man who snatched the Mayor's mace at the meeting.
The meeting cleared the proposal for the first Metro route work between Vanaz and the airport (Ramwadi).
The proceedings were also interrupted when supplementary suggestion papers were snatched from PMC secretary Ramesh Parkhe. Shiv Sena corporator Shyam Deshpande also staged a walkout when his supplementary suggestions were scrapped.
Mayor Mohansingh Rajpal opposed the vandalism, but had his mace snatched in the melee.
