Illegal dumping of debris, garbage going unnoticed? Or a flood prone area? Soon, your local ward office will have its own disaster control room where it will keep an eye on ward 24x7. Last week, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) commissioner Praveen Pardeshi directed the disaster management cell to set up video walls, much like the one at the headquarters at CST, at the ward level. The disaster cell has already written to the state government asking how much a project of this level
will cost.
