MUMBAI: The Mahayuti government has cancelled the decision to give ownership homes to government employees residing in staff quarters in the Sawali building in Worli, indicating its reluctance to rehabilitate government employees in ownership flats at the place of their official residence.

The development comes amid demands for ownership homes from government employees residing in the Government Colony in Bandra, which is slated for redevelopment. The state government has appointed a committee of senior officials to identify land and formulate conditions for giving them ownership homes, but no time frame has been specified for the committee to submit its report.
