Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) may shut its zone and ward offices on Wednesdays and keep them open on Sundays to make property tax payments easier for residents. Commissioner Sanskriti Jain has sought feedback from senior officials on the proposal. Revenue department employees have long demanded a Sunday holiday, while the BMC collects high tax on Sundays through special camps. Some zonal officials oppose the change, but lower-level staff support it. Attendance will now be tracked via Aadhaar, a register, and location monitoring for field staff.
