Bhopal BMC officials have accused some MiC members of holding files for as long as six months, despite a 10-day deadline. This has led to reminders being sent, with the delays also impacting MiC meeting schedules. The scheduled MiC meeting chaired by Mayor Malti Rai on Saturday has been postponed due to late files reaching her office on Friday night.
The next meeting is set for October 13. Additional municipal commissioner Tanmay V Sharma stated that all Housing for All (HFA) files were sent to MiC members on the night of October 9. There may not be any pending issues ahead of the upcoming meeting. Two HFA department proposals, one regarding the Neelbad project under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and the other about consultant empanelment, were sent to MiC member Chhaya Thakur on August 13 and August 31, respectively.
These files were not reviewed until September 28, prompting Sharma to remind Thakur of government rules. The files were then forwarded to the mayor's office in October, just before the scheduled MiC meeting.
