Mumbai: The Mumbai Municipal Corporation has invited tenders for the auction of a strategic plot in Worli and the auction should be stopped till the state government completes its investigation into irregularities in the reconstruction of a testing laboratory on it, demanded Samajwadi Party MLA Raees Shaikh. Shaikh has written a letter to Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde and Commissioner Ashwini Bhide in this regard. Speaking in this regard, MLA Raees Shaikh said that the municipality should formulate an auction policy in consultation with group leaders of all parties in the municipal corporation to avoid such unplanned auctions. The municipality had floated the tender despite the state government ordering an inquiry into the redevelopment work in Worli. MLA Shaikh added that the issue was raised during the recently concluded budget session of the state legislature and brought to light irregularities in the tender floated for the reconstruction of the municipal testing laboratory located at the site. Minister of State for Urban Development Madhuri Mishal has directed a high-level inquiry through senior officials. MLA Raees Shaikh said that going ahead with the auction during the inquiry is tantamount to insulting the state government, hence we have demanded that the auction be stopped till the inquiry is completed. MLA Raees Shaikh also expressed concern over the “temporary” decisions taken by the municipal corporation regarding the auction of public lands. He has also demanded a comprehensive and transparent auction policy from the municipal corporation. Shaikh said in a letter sent to the mayor and commissioner, “The auction should be stopped until the inquiry is completed and its findings are made public. Consultations should be initiated with the group leaders of all political parties in the municipal corporation to formulate a uniform auction policy for municipal corporation properties.”
