Nagpur:- IAS officer Radhakrishnan B, who on Friday would take over as the new municipal commissioner, said it had Covid-19 at the top of its priority list. A host of challenges present the new civic chief; unfinished schemes, poor roads, a lack of funds, weak account management, besides spiraling Covid-19.
“With news of an increase in Covid-19 cases in Nagpur, my first priority will be to supervise infection control management and planning,” Radhakrishnan told. After taking over as the civic chief he can focus on other tasks once he gets to know the situation.
“I ‘m going to evaluate the situation, and work accordingly,” he said. Radhakrishnan also convoked a meeting of all department heads on Friday at 9.45 am. Radhakrishnan had been called Wednesday to succeed Tukaram Mundhe. The grapevine has it that, at the insistence of city MP Nitin Gadkari and NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Mundhe was moved.
