After Thursday’s ruckus in the Improvement Committee meeting where the Shiv Sena was accused of delaying houses for mill workers, the Sena did a U-turn in Friday's meeting and passed the proposal. The BMC stands to gain property worth ₹4.33 crore more with the deal. The 2015 proposal was tabled in Thursday’s committee meeting where all parties wanted it to be passed, except the Sena, which deferred it saying it had errors. But following criticismthat the Sena is unnecessarily stalling mill workers’ houses, chairman Dilip Lande called for an informal visit to the plot and a meeting on Friday, and allowed the proposal to be passed. Therefore, we are sanctioning the proposal,” Mr. Lande said.
