The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in its latest version of the Open Space policy has excluded nine plots that were given to politicians on caretaker basis from its ambit. Long accused of giving private players the opportunity to grab plots, the policy proposes two committees to oversee maintenance and prevent usurping of land.

The nine plots — including Matoshree Club, Poisar Gymkhana, and Swatantra Veer Savarkar Udyan — will remain to be with their caretakers.
