While BMC authorities might be lax about filling potholes or clearing garbage, it has managed to successfully overreach its target in one area -- sterilising men in the city. Despite being given a target to sterilise 200 men as part of the World Vasectomy Day (WVD) initiative, the staff went one step ahead and got 365 men to opt for sterilisation in just two weeks. The numbers are significant considering the fact that the civic body has only recorded 1,859 male sterilisation cases in the last three years.
