Standing Committee chairman Yashwant Jadhav had said he would have to wear a helmet to meetings if chandelier above his head was not removed.

Within days of the standing committee chairman raising concern over the chandelier hanging above his head, the civic administration removed it
The crashing of a toughened glass panel at the Works Committee meeting hall in the heritage structure of the BMC definitely toughened Standing Committee chairman Yashwant Jadhav's resolution to get the chandelier hanging above his head in the same room removed. Within days of him raising the concern and saying that he would have to wear a helmet to meetings, the piece of décor left the room.
Shiv Sena corporator and chairperson of the committee Priti Patankar was conducting a meeting with 15 other corporators on December 19 when the incident took place. Three of the officials, including Patankar suffered minor bruises. However, the BMC is yet to decide on changing the glass panel, as they are in the process of collecting evidence and information on whether a temperature variation led to the glass cracking, to be submitted to the enquiry official.
