The work of boundries demarcation and ward delimitation is under process by the corporation. As per the existing provisions of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act (III of 1888), the existing term of the corporation will be expired on the 7th March 2022. The State Election Commission has communicated to the State Government that due to COVID-19 Pandemic situation in the State, changing of OBC reservation in the corporation due to order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court and the work of boundaries demarcation and ward delimitation of the corporation is in process, therefore, it is not possible for the State Election Commission to conduct the general election of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation in time and, therefore, requested the Government to appoint the Administrator on the corporation after the expiry of the term of the corporation.

2. It is, therefore, considered expedient to make suitable provision in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, so as to appoint any Government officer as an administrator, to exercise all the powers and perform all the functions and duties of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation, by inserting new section 6C in the said Act.

3.
