The recently proposed fee hike for Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan and Zoo in Byculla has become a political battleground for former allies Shiv Sena and BJP. After the 20-fold hike was cleared in the market and garden committee, the proposal will be tabled before the standing committee for approval today. However, with all parties, except the Sena, up in arms against the hike, high drama is expected at the meeting.
