Marking a major win for citizen?s groups in the battle for open spaces in Mumbai, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis Friday announced in the Maharashtra legislative assembly that his government will adopt a new law to make the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) responsible for maintenance of all public open spaces in the city.
Once the decision comes into force, it will put a stop to the civic body?s policy of outsourcing maintenance of Mumbai?s gardens, parks, and other public open spaces to private parties.The chief minister, who also heads the Urban Development department, informed the House that his department would soon present a draft legislation in this regard before the state cabinet, and then seek the approval of the state legislature. - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/mumbais-open-spaces-will-not-be-in-private-hands-anymore/#sthash.SSRdNGt2.dpuf
