Although no conclusion could be reached, the struggle is still going on. This can be gauged from the fact that barricades were put up in different zones while creating containment zones to deal with Corona during Mundhe’s tenure. In case of emergency, the contractors were given its work orders. After Mundhe’s departure, the funds of these contractors are stuck, for whose payment the proposal to approve the fund was placed before the Standing Committee held on Tuesday. The Standing Committee refused to approve it.
