For the first time in recent memory, citizens from Matunga and Wadala are set to march to the civic ward office today to protest against the transfer of Assistant Municipal Commissioner Nitin Shukla. Shukla had joined the ward office just two months ago and is already being transferred, local residents said.

Last week, the BMC transferred and promoted 12 officers. Shulka, AMC, F North ward, has been transferred to the B ward. A Matunga resident said, “He had barely been appointed as AMC two months ago and has proactively performed his duties. We are impressed by whatever he has done for the ward.”
