Members of all parties slammed the civic administration for not consulting them before taking the move. Besides, members of the Congress and the BJP staged a walkout, claiming they were not allowed to air their views. Earlier, BMC's leader of opposition Ravi Raja submitted a statement opposing the civic administration move to make waste segregation and composting from October 2. All political parties supported the statement made by Raja and sought Mayor to take a decision against civic administration's move. He added that by issuing such kind of circular, the civic administration is trying to create havoc among residents.
