News Today Live Updates: Just five months ago, the Pune City Tehsildar asked Central government undertaking Botanical Survey of India (BSI) to vacate 17.51 hectares or 44 acres of land in Mundhwa leased to it by the state after a firm 99% owned by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s son informed his office that it had purchased the land. “We received a letter a few months back asking us to vacate the land.
