After taking over the reins from Vikram Kumar, he said, “After joining, I took the review of all the ongoing development works at all departments. Our priority is now to complete pre-monsoon works.”

Bhosale said, “Though there is a model code of conduct, there would be no legal hurdle to complete the maintenance works and pre-monsoon works will be completed before the end of May. There are some tenders in process. But before approving the tenders, the PMC will take the approval from the Election Commission of India (ECI).”

Many senior officers were transferred from the PMC after the Election Commission ordered the transfer of all officers who had held the same position for the previous three years. Two additional commissioners, Kunal Khemnar and Vikas Dhakane, were transferred from the PMC.
