the Chief Minister of Maharashtra – status of of community to solve the problems of textile mill worker in Mumbai
Answers
Answer:
Uddhav Thackeray.......
Answer:
Maharashtra Government on Friday rejected the demand made by opposition parties and trade unions to provide free homes to the 108,000 textile mill workers in Mumbai.
Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, in his reply after a four-hour debate in the state assembly, said houses would be provided at reasonable rates. He said providing free homes to mill workers will not be feasible due to constraints in the availability of the 150 hectares of land and limitations in construction.
Instead, he said the government, in association with political parties and nine mill workers’ unions, will have to first take a decision on the allotment of 6,900 houses that would be completed soon. Chavan also appealed to the Shiv Sena to withdraw its call for a Mumbai bandh on August 1.
