In the past six months since the administration rule started, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) claims to have saved 30 tonnes of paper. As there are no corporators, meetings of various committees are not held. Therefore there is no need to use papers for meetings’ agenda, etc. Now environmentalists suggest that the BMC have agendas online in future.
