Hospice given notice again by BMC to give up land
A repeat land acquisition notice has been issued by BMC to a home for the dying and destitute in Santa Cruz. The notice requires them surrender part of its compound for road-widening. The activists, however, point out that the traffic bottleneck is near the station, not the hospice. Providing shelter to 65 mentally disabled inmates who were picked off the streets, Home for the Dying and Destitute in Chapel Lane near Santa Cruz station is run by Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity. Gordon D’Souza, president of the Bombay Catholic Sabha, complains that there is an anomaly as plan is to have 14.5 m wide road right where the home is located. Elsewhere, the plan shows narrower roads to be built.
