"We have decided to initiate the process from February 15. The advertisements would be out by February 15 and the applications shall be accepted from April. As we will start the process before the elections, the code of conduct won't be applicable ," said N Sudhanshu, chief officer of MHADA's Mumbai board.
While location details for 1,000 city homes are awaited, the remaining 2,000 flats that belong to the Konkan board are in Virar. Satish Gavai, MHADA vice-president, said, "Our move is to beat the code of conduct and fulfil our promise of delivering the apartments."
