There was an unusual visitor at the BMC headquarters to meet Commissioner Jairaj Phatak on Friday. Item girl Rakhi Sawant had a civic item on her agenda this time.

"Despite repeated complaints from Oshiwara residents in Serenity Complex, the place where I live, Phatak had time to only visit Oshiwara for a club inauguration 4 days back. After today's meeting, we have some hope. There are open drains outside my gate. Two children were injured after they fell into the gutter," said Sawant.

"Our corporator, Rajul Patel, has told us that she will not do any work in our area as we do not vote for her."

Addressing the press on Friday Phatak said, "The road in Oshiwara, where Rakhi Sawant lives, comes under the MHADA layout. BMC will look into this
matter."
