Will the BEST committee, which is controlled by the BMC’s ruling Shiv Sena-BJP combine, demand compensation for the damages caused to 101 buses during Thursday’s strike? BEST panel member Ravi Raja said, “It’s an irony that the bills would have to be sent by the Sena-BJP committee members to their own bosses. Let us wait and watch.”
The final report of damages incurred during a bandh is usually produced before the committee, which then approves the seeking of compensation. “In the past, when BEST union workers damaged buses, the committee sent bills and also recovered the amount,” Raja said.
Home minister R R Patil said he has instructed all collectors and superintendents of police (DCPs in cities) to do panchnamas of damaged properties so that legal action can be taken against “miscreants” and damages recovered.
