In February, state-run MHADA’s Mumbai unit took possession of the plot from a private builder following a Bombay High Court order that cleared legal hurdles and allowed demolition of unauthorised structures on the site. The builder had falsely claimed slum dwellers existed on the land to include it in a Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) scheme.
Legislator Satam highlighted that the development plan marks this plot as reserved for open space and a road.
The MLA from Andheri (West) in Mumbai enclosed relevant notings from the development plan in his letter to support the request for a sports facility at the site.
Such a dedicated platform would help residents and youth from across the city pursue their interest in sports, noted the ruling party legislator. PTI ND RSY
