The Thane civic body`s drive against illegal hawkers took a grisly turn on Monday when a man, furious over the action being taken, attacked a senior official with a knife, chopping off three digits of her hand.

Thane Assistant Municipal Commissioner Kalpita Pimple was attacked by vegetable vendor Amarjit Yadav while she was overseeing a drive to clear out unauthorised hawkers in the Kasarvadavali locality.

Ms Pimple was admitted to the Jupiter Hospital a short distance away. An attempt will be made to re-attach the severed digits to her hand, officials have said.
