The 120-acre land parcel in Khalapur, Raigad, meant for housing of policemen is in the name of the project’s chief promoter, a retired IPS officer
The promoters of Brihanmumbai Police Cooperative Housing Society who were accused of derailing the Mumbai police housing project for over 12 years in Vayal village, Khalapur, Raigad, lost the recently held society election. The outcome of the election is certainly a major achievement for the aggrieved policemen despite the “flawed voter list.” Interestingly, this was the first election held in the last twelve years, after the previous committee was ousted by the deputy registrar, cooperative department, Raigad, on May 15, 2023. The deputy registrar had observed serious lapses and major irregularities in the functioning of the previous committee.
The newly formed committee that won the election with a thumping majority is from the ‘Dhyas-Swayam Vikas’ panel which means intent on self development. The members of the society include both retired and serving cops from the ranks of police constables, head constables, assistant sub inspectors and sub inspectors.
