Won't allow Indu Mills rerun: Govt to Bombay HC

The state government on Thursday told the Bombay high court that it
will provide adequate police protection to the defunct India United
Mills (Indu Mills) property at Dadar to prevent any further
encroachment of the land by political activists.
Members of the Republican Sena had forcibly entered the mill premises
on December 6 last year demanding handing over of the entire 12.5acre
land for the construction of a memorial of Dr BR Ambedkar.
"The state government will provide adequate security outside the mill
land to ensure that no forcible possession is taken over by anyone as
was done on December 6 last year," additional government pleader GW
Mattos informed the Bombay high court on Thursday.
A division bench of Justices DK Deshmukh and Anoop Mohta disposed of a
petition filed by the National Textile Corporation (NTC), which owns
the Indu Mills land.
The NTC had moved the HC seeking direction for the removal of
encroachers from the mill land. The activist had entered the mill land
and put up photos of Lord Buddha and a bust of Dr Ambedkar.
The activist had demanded that the central government allot the land
to the state government for building a memorial of Dr Ambedkar. The
state government swung into action only after the HC came down heavily
on the state, saying it was spineless and was not fit to govern.
Republican Sena activists had vacated the mill land on December 30
after they got an assurance from the state government on the memorial.
Recently, the Union government agreed to allot the mill land for the
development of the memorial.
