Mumbai: The Rashtriya Swamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Wednesday filed a complaint to the Bombay Municipal Corporation (BMC) regarding its allocated plot of land in Shivaji Park. In the letter, the Dadar branch of RSS has demanded a separate plot to carry out its activities, as well as noting they are ready to pay overdue rent if a separate piece of land is leased out to them nearby the vacant plot. The letter sees the RSS noting they are facing difficulties to carry out their organizational activities due to a memorial of Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray near the plot.
"The lease of the vacant plot of land was given by the Bombay Municipal Corporation starting 1967. From the year 1967 to the year 2007, we have paid VLT (Vacant Land Tax) rent for vacant land. Due to the insistence of Administrative Officer North to draw the land before taking it on lease from the year 2008, and after repeated follow up with the administration, the land borders have still not been drawn to date because of administrative reasons.
