Maharashtra: Decision to broadcast general body meeting live will be discussed, says Thane mayor | Mumbai News

Thane: The decision on live broadcasting the civic body’s general body meeting will be taken after discussing the issue with all group leaders and corporators, mayor Sharmila Pimpolkar said. The development comes after BJP corporator Namrata Koli raised the issue in the House on Wednesday. Koli justified the need for the live broadcast by pointing out that residents needed to be kept updated about the proceedings to keep check on their elected representatives. Koli first raised the issue of online broadcasting last month, around the time of the first meeting held on Feb 23. Former mayor Meenakshi Shinde had also pushed for live broadcasting a few years back.
