MUMBAI: BJP corporator of Andheri, Ameet Satam is sitting in an indefinite hunger strike to protest the municipal commissioner’s decision to not allow decorative lights in his ward.

Satam had collected signatures of 8,500 citizens living in his ward supporting his demand for decorative lights as streetlights in his ward.

Municipal commissioner Sitaram Kunte denied permission to the project saying that decorative lights were not required on the streets and what was required were streetlights.

Satam says that the project was green lighted by the technical committee under experts from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and they had said that it was feasible.

“Even after all experts approving of it, Kunte has denied permissions to the project of silly grounds,” said Satam.
