Maritime Board ignores CRZ rules, issues ad to ‘monetise’ Mandwa jetty land

Inviting e-tenders from interested bidders, the work in the ad is termed ‘monetisation of land adjoining Mandwa Ro-Pax Jetty’. Amit Saini, chief officer of MMB, when questioned, said, “Commercialisation can happen subject to CRZ rules. Anything beyond that will not be allowed
