The Mayor is a figurehead. Even his elegant sea facing mansion is now being converted into a memorial. The administration is effectively run by the Municipal Commissioner, assisted by four service colleagues as Additional Municipal Commissioners. Powerful Committees – like Standing – award major contracts.

The BMC has abundant financial resources. If ordinary citizens are not entirely pleased with the product, the Mayor is too ineffectual a personage to blame. Empowering him is even less of a panacea than creating the post of CDS for the armed forces.
