The Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation (BMC) board was dissolved on Saturday, with municipal commissioner Ravi Agarwal appointed as the administrator. This decision was made under the West Bengal Municipal Corporation Act, 2006, and is effective for up to six months or until new councillors are elected. The BMC, established in 2015, has been facing significant challenges, including the arrest of four councillors on charges of extortion and intimidation. Following the resignation of BMC Mayor Krishna Chakraborty, who cited difficulties in managing civic services, the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) is also expected to appoint an administrator next week. The resignation of KMC Mayor Firhad Hakim has led to speculation about the appointment of an administrator to ensure the civic body continues to function. KMC officials have indicated that an administrator could be appointed swiftly, especially with the monsoon season approaching. The current political climate has left both municipal corporations in a state of uncertainty.
