Thirteen persons have been booked for involvement in irregularities concerning the redevelopment of buildings on MHADA land, with Thane police on August 22, claiming the amount involved may be Rs 200 crore.
Tayade alleged that the NOC for this mortgage was allegedly given by the chairperson of one of the housing societies. Tayade said, “The development agreement was signed between the developer firm and 10 societies in which 348 members reside. However, only the plinth (foundation of the ground floor) has been constructed. We went to the developers but they did not pay heed.”
