Shukla, who served the F North Ward, which encompasses areas like Dadar-Matunga-Sion, for less than two months, was reassigned to B Ward in Dongri last Friday as part of a broader administrative overhaul that included the transfer of seven joint and deputy municipal commissioners, as well as the promotion and reassignment of 12 assistant commissioners across Mumbai's 25 administrative wards.
