MUMBAI: Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) deputy municipal commissioner Ramesh Pawar mistakenly drank sanitiser while presenting the civic body's education budget on Wednesday. During the presentation, he picked up a bottle and took a sip. He then realised that the bottle contained hand sanitiser and spat it out immediately. Pawar didn't face any health issues and continued with the budget presentation, officials said.
BMC officials said that both water bottles and hand sanitisers were kept on the table and looked identical. “Both the water bottles and sanitiser bottles looked identical. So we removed the sanitiser bottles from the hall,” an official said.
