BMC: Not gardens, only grounds to be given for adoption under new policy
The BMC clarified that its new open spaces policy will only allow recreational grounds and playgrounds to be given out for adoption, not the 346 gardens it manages. Activists raised concerns about the dual reservation of some spaces and urged the BMC to clarify whether these would be included in the adoption scheme. The BMC assistant commissioner stated that fully developed open spaces will not be given out, and the policy aims to create more sports facilities within playgrounds. Critics, including former MP Milind Deora, oppose the policy and question why the BMC doesn't retain and maintain the plots itself.
