The five rooms in the Juma Masjid trust building that were used for a school, which shut down in 1983
Five rooms in a building at Nagpada, owned by the Juma Masjid trust which rented them to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for use as a school for kids, are being illegally used as a godown. The information was revealed in a reply to an RTI query by a local activist. The BMC’s education officer has asked for action to be taken against the person allegedly using the premises.
According to RTI activist Shamshad Ahmad, who is an alumnus of the Jehangir Boman Behram Marg School located in the Juma Masjid trust building at Morland Road, the five rooms were rented to the BMC for the school, which later closed. When he visited the school some time back, he found the rooms were locked, but a person was using them despite that as a godown.
