All Open Spaces will be taken in MCGMs possession. They will be
maintained by MCGM and no private party interests will be created. Auditing of all Open Spaces will be done by citizen groups appointed and selected by a transparent process. Section 64C of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act mandates that decisions and necessary action on all files should be taken within 45 days, failing which disciplinary action would be taken against the defaulting officer. There are numerous cases where citizens get no responses to their applications/representations or complaints. Action as per law must be taken against defaulting officers. Municipal roads are bad. MCGM must ensure that there is a five year guarantee for bitumen roads and enforce this. If any potholes are reported they should be repaired in 48 hours. MCGM must reduce corruption and to measure this, a corruption perception survey must be conducted every year in each ward and be displayed. A similar survey should be conducted for cleanliness. Details of funds spent from corporator funds should be displayed on the website by each corporator. Audit teams of citizens should be created to audit these and some other works A survey of the level of learning in MCGM schools must be conducted each year and it should improve significantly.
