(Photo: Express Archive)The Maharashtra cabinet on Monday decided to allot a 2,000-square metre plot in Bandra East to cricketer Ajinkya Rahane for setting up a well-equipped sports facility.
The decision was taken during a meeting presided by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
According to state revenue department officials, the plot located at the prime Bandra Reclamation will be leased to Rahane for 30 years. Earlier, this plot was allotted to cricketer Sunil Gavaskar in 1988 for an indoor cricket testing centre. But since no work was done on this plot, the government had taken it back. The official said the current condition of this plot is not up to the mark and is being used by the slum dwellers for unnecessary activities.
“Given the current situation and circumstances, the MHADA authority passed a resolution and had given a recommendation of giving this plot to former Indian cricket team captain Ajinkya Rahane for setting up a well-equipped sports facility,” the official said.
