Launching an initiative on Wednesday, the BMC came up with an idea of reminding defaulters of their pending dues by sending a band of drummers to their doorstep. The BMC's band of drummers will be ferrying up and down the city in a tempo from 10 am to 7 PM every day, as per sources. The initiative is being taken to collect 40 percent of the property tax for the current fiscal, in the next 40 days. This is a tried and tested method as it was successful in Thane in the year 2016, said a BMC official.
