Thane, Oct 2 (PTI) Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Sanjay Kelkar on Friday said he will introduce a private member’s bill within two weeks demanding stringent action against fraudulent real estate developers under the Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (MPID) Act.
Speaking during an interaction with citizens at the ‘Jansevakacha Jan-Samvad’ programme, Kelkar cited the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) project on Babasaheb Ambedkar Road that has been pending for 20 years.
The developer has continuously misled residents with false promises without delivering homes, he alleged.
Citing another stalled project, Trinity Heights, Kelkar urged the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) to initiate criminal proceedings against the builder.
“Cases of developers defrauding residents are rising sharply in Thane. To curb this, I will table a private member’s bill in two weeks to invoke MPID Act provisions against such defaulting developers,” he said. PTI COR BNM
