Mumbai: Govandi Residents Furious As MLA Abu Asim Azmi's NGO Fails To Evict Playground And Library Months After BMC's Notice https://www.freepressjournal.in/mumbai/mumbai-govandi-residents-furious-as-mla-abu-asim-azmis-ngo-fails-to-evict-playground-and-library-months-after-bmcs-notice The trust, which is run by Samajwadi Party’s local MLA Abu Asim Azmi, was alleged to be frequently using the ground for commercial purposes such as cricket and football, which deviates from its intended role as a community-centric sports ground. After the eviction notice issued by the BMC in February, the BMC had also sent a proposal to TISS asking them to adopt the library, which was accepted by them in April through an Expression of Interest letter. The residents of Govandi have demanded immediate compliance of BMC’s order and want the ground along with its study centre to be handed over to Tata Institute of Social Sciences.
