The Maharashtra government would soon introduce a bill to reserve houses in the projects by Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) for minority communities. The move, however, may not go down well with the Opposition Shiv Sena and BJP, who have threatened to hit the streets in case the government went ahead with its plan. The governing body of MHADA, comprising mainly of members from the ruling Congress and NCP, has cleared the proposal to create quotas in forthcoming housing schemes by the body. Reports say that MHADA is scheduled to invite applications for nearly 50,000 flats in Mumbai city alone this year. The authority allots flats in the low, middle and high income categories.
