MTDC yet to receive land for building tourism reception centre in Mumbai

The Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) has still not managed to procure a suitable piece of land for constructing a tourist reception centre or tourism bhavan in Mumbai, in spite of approaching several authorities. MTDC officials cited shortage of land as the primary reason for the delay. The proposal has remained on paper for the last four years now, despite the state government sanctioning Rs 22 crore for the project in 2008, according to a report by Neha Madaan in The Times of India.
