BMC urges for MP, MLA funds to maintain open spaces
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has urged the public representatives to make a generous move to divert a portion of MP, MLA funds towards maintenance of open spaces.
The Corporation is in need of fund to maintain the open spaces and in previous years the BMC has lost open land either because it failed to generate adequate funds or did not acquire the plots on time.
Citing examples of aid coming through MP local area development fund of Shabana Azmi and Hema Malini, the Corporation stated that restoration at Carter Road promenade and Juhu beach was made possible only through the aid.
As per a department study conducted in 2011, the civic body will have to construct 8.26 lakh dwellings to house encroachers who have to be removed from the open spaces.
