The Uddhav Thackeray led MVA government has cancelled the allotment of a land parcel that was allotted to cricketer Sunil Gavaskar.
A government resolution issued by the state government’s Housing department a copy of which is available with SquareFeatIndia says, that the land allotment has been cancelled.
According to the GR, a 2,000 square meter land was allotted to Sunil Gavaskar by the government in the Bandra Reclamation area, belonging to MHADA.
This piece of land was allotted to cricketer Sunil Gavaskar for starting an indoor cricket training centre.
The GR further states that as per a letter from The Sunil Gavaskar Cricket Foundation dated April 5, 2022, the government was of the intent to cancel the allotment of the land provided to Sunil Gawaskar.
A multi-facility sports centre with indoor and outdoor facilities was to be built here.
The GR dated, June 23, finally came out with a resolution that stated, as per the request of Sunil Gavaskar the allotment stands cancelled.
The government has asked MHADA to take over the land and also directed them to recover whatever amount is pending.
The Uddhav Thackeray government has been facing a lot of trouble for the last few days and it has been criticised by various camps for taking several decision in a haste and issuing several GRs too.
This GR has also come out when the government is under a political turmoil, and it isn’t clear whether this government will survive or go.
The Eknath Shinde camp which has 40 Shiv Sena rebel MLAs is wanting Uddhav Thackeray to ally with the BJP and form government and leave the NCP and Congress led MVA government. Hopefully things will be clear soon.
