High Court admits PIL opposing one time planning proposal

By Dinesh Kamath

NAVI MUMBAI: Advocate Vinod Gangwal had filed a Public Interest Litigation in the Bombay High Court. The PIL opposed the one time planning proposal that Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation has come up with.

Gangwal questioned as to how this proposal could be implemented without the approval of Chief Minister and Urban Development Department. NMMC has already started working on the project although this scheme has not received any approval. Gangwal called this proposal as wastage of public funds.

The PIL has been admitted by Bombay High Court and the next hearing on this matter will be on 12 September 2013.

The strange thing is that it was the duty of the opposition parties in NMMC to come up with such a PIL but since they sat quiet on this matter, Vinod Gangwal had to take the initiative. He accused NMMC authorities of joining hands with the ruling party in NMMC to work on such project which is only wastage of tax-payers’ money.
