State Paves Way for Multi-Storey BJP Office in City

The state has extended the lease of a prime plot in Mumbai's Nariman Point to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party's state unit for another 30 years, clearing the way for a multi-storey building to replace its existing single-storey premises.

MUMBAI:

The 2,682-sq m plot that houses the BJP office, located in Nehru Garden right opposite the state secretariat, comes with a plot twist. The episode culminated on Wednesday, when the general administration department issued a government resolution (GR).

The state unit of the BJP had signed a lease with the public works department on January 1, 2019, which expired on December 31, 2024. The GR says the terms of the new lease agreement align with the Development Control and Promotional Rules (DCPR), 2034.
