“One of my relatives got transferred by his company to the union territory last year. While he was out for shopping, he was shocked on finding dustbins, with PMC logo on them, for sale,” Bankar said.

She added that the incident took place at least six months ago, when she was mayor. “My relative bought two buckets from that shop. After he informed me, I asked him to click pictures of the outlet with the PMC dustbins, but, unfortunately, by the time he returned to the shop, all the bins had been sold out,” she said.
