Civic Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal presented his third civic budget—for the financial year (FY) 2023-24—on Saturday, albeit with visible stamps of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on it. This was evident not only through new allocations made but also in the civic chief’s speech.

The BMC budget 2023-24 document includes seven projects suggested by Shinde and Fadnavis.  As per suggestions made by Shinde , BMC has planned to install air purifiers at five most crowded areas in the city—Dahisar Toll Naka, Mulund Check Naka, Mankhurd, Kala Nagar Junction and Haji Ali Junction—Chahal confirmed in his speech.
