The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government has appointed municipal commissioner Vikram Kumar as the administrator of PMC after the tenure of all public representatives ended on March 14.

Rasne said that the present standing committee along with its chairman is a legal committee and should continue till the next panel is constituted after the civic polls. “After the municipal administration replied that all committees cease to function after the end of corporators’ tenure, we have now approached the high court,” he said.
