Mumbai’s Civic Makeover? BMC May Hire Gen Z ‘Intern Army’ to Police Roads, Garbage & Transport

What Happened

Mumbai's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is considering a pilot program called 'Mayor Next Gen Civic Fellows Programme' to hire fifty Gen Z interns aged 18-25. The interns would use mobile apps to monitor potholes, garbage collection, and transportation gaps across city wards. BJP corporator Tejinder Singh Tiwana proposed the initiative, which would provide paid stipends. The program would first operate in ten wards before potential citywide expansion. The proposal will be discussed by the BMC general body panel later this month.
