The Bhagshala Play ground at Dombivali west Thane. This ground is used by local resident around 2-3 Lacs for jogging and playing activity. But Estate department of Kalyan Dombivli Municipal corporation is allowing non sports activity in Rs 500 per day to other organizer.It is illegal to change the use of play ground to other purpose as per Bombay High court order.
Our team has observed that KDMC is giving permission for non
sports activity which violates the Section 37 of Maharashtra
Regional and Town Planning Act (MRTP Act). Please read the Bombay High Court
order published in Time Of India on 1st Feb 2013
“A
division bench of Chief Justice Mohit Shah and Justice Anoop Mohta passed the direction after the government and
the civic body could not decide on the non-sport activities for which the
ground could be allowed to be used for 30 days in a year, under the Maharashtra
Regional and Town Planning Act (MRTP Act). On January 4, the court directed the
state to issue a notification specifying the functions that could be held for
the said 30 days; under Section 37 (A) of MRTP Act, the state can allow
temporary change of user of a playground for that period ”. Directing that all
records be brought before the court, the judges ruled that no permission should
be given to use the ground for non-sport activities except by the court.

change of use condition for Carnival, Dance functions, Political Rally,
Birthdays etc since last few years. It hurts the interest of young children use
