The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is not treating the city's sewerage right and dirtying the seas while it's at it. According to a report tabled by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) on August 11, the civic body's delay in completing works proposed under Mumbai Sewerage Disposal Project (MSDP) has contaminated the seawater to the extent of over 840 MLD (million litres per day). CAG has pointed out that BMC failed to start the project works that were planned in 2007.
